BREEAM Consultancy
BREEAM Consultancy, Building Performance & MEP Design Under One Roof
Why does BREEAM need a strategy from the start?
Achieving a successful BREEAM rating requires a clear strategy from the earliest design stages. As BREEAM Accredited Professionals (APs), we work alongside the wider design team to help projects achieve their sustainability ambitions while maintaining a practical and deliverable design.

02 / EVIDENCE
Building Performance Modelling
The technical analysis that proves the credits and shapes the design behind them.
Dynamic Thermal Modelling
Year-round simulation of how your building behaves, informing decisions on fabric, glazing, shading and servicing before the design is fixed.
Daylight Analysis
Daylight modelling across your scheme to test BREEAM health and wellbeing criteria, with practical advice where targets are missed.
Embodied Carbon Assessments
Whole life carbon calculated across your scheme, identifying the biggest reductions available and supporting BREEAM materials credits.
Overheating Assessments (TM52/TM59)
Overheating risk assessed against CIBSE TM52 for non-domestic spaces and TM59 for residential, supporting both BREEAM credits and Part O compliance.
Part L Compliance Modelling
The modelling that demonstrates your building meets Part L carbon and fabric efficiency targets, with outputs that feed directly into BREEAM energy credits.
03 / DELIVERY
MEP Design
The building services engineering that turns the strategy into a building.
MEP Design (RIBA Stages 3-6)
Our in-house mechanical, electrical and public health team designing the services that deliver your BREEAM strategy in practice
Building Performance Optimisation
Refining the servicing and control strategy against modelled outcomes, closing the gap between predicted and actual in-use performance.
How does building performance affect your BREEAM rating?
BREEAM outcomes are closely linked to the performance of a building. Through a combination of BREEAM consultancy, technical modelling and building services design, we help project teams make informed decisions and maintain a clear route to their target rating as designs develop.
Hope Street - Community Project
BREEAM OUTSTANDING
Hope Street is a pioneering project which will provide a positive residential environment for justice involved women. The vision of the client, the charity One Small Thing, is to create a ground-breaking trauma informed approach to support justice involved women thus empowering them to have better lives and achieve better outcomes for themselves, their children and society.
This vision to create a gold standard project is intrinsic in designing sustainable forward-thinking buildings. Our work so far with the design team will generate a 93% carbon saving for Hope Street. We are delighted planning permission has been granted for this aspirational project and looking forward to assisting in the next phase of the project – technical design and specification – all of which will help the team to achieve a BREEAM Outstanding rating.
