Sustainability in Planning

Energy Statements

Energy Statements are tailored to meet the requirements of each local authority, as there is no standard format. We liaise with councils and find out what they want from an Energy Statement, therefore ensuring the best chance for your planning application to be reviewed successfully.

We will provide you with a detailed statement that outlines the different considerations including costs, carbon reductions and the relevant calculations. We have the expertise to ensure all the requirements are met.

Daylighting Analysis

Our experienced team use three-dimensional modelling on industry standard software packages in order to evaluate both daylighting provision in new buildings and the impact of a development on neighbouring properties. Our involvement during the feasibility process can help shape the scheme so that it meets the requirements of the local planning authority, avoiding any costly redesign at a later stage.

Thermal Modelling

Ingleton Wood have trained specialists who can perform thermal modelling calculations for any type of building. These calculations can be used to inform a more energy efficient design and mitigate against unwanted solar gains. We can evaluate the likelihood of overheating in buildings (and advise on solutions) and even predict the effect that climate change might have throughout a building’s lifespan. 

Green Performance Plan 

Some planning authorities require a strategy for monitoring developments after handover. Green performance plans set out performance targets and indicators for a 1 to 3 year occupied period.

Our team can provide you with a green performance plan setting out the Post Occupancy Evaluation (POE) strategy after handover of the project. Our experienced monitoring team can also monitor and evaluate the project in terms of occupant satisfaction and thermal environment, meaning our service truly does run from feasibility to beyond the construction stage. More information can be found on our POE page.
