Environmental Design

Building Energy Ratings, Sustainable Energy and Renewable Technology's are common every day phases to all of us at this point however, what does this actually mean when building a new home.

Ongoing changes to the Building Regulations have meant that the construction of new homes must now consider both the use of a more efficient heating/energy source and reduced CO2 emissions. The requirement to submit a Provisional BER Certificate to some Local Authority's prior to construction of your new dwelling has the benefit of allowing you to investigate the range of products on the market and decide what is best for your own situation and needs.

PDS are qualified assessors and can provide BER Certificates for Domestic, Non-domestic and Air Pressure testing. We can advise independently with regard to the selection of heating, renewable and insulation materials and through use of the DEAP Software package show the common sense savings that should be adopted.
