Low Carbon Design Advice

b:ssec consultants are accredited and feature on the CIBSE "Low Carbon Consultants register" and "Carbon Trust approved consultants register" to provide low carbon design advice for buildings.

Low carbon design advice can be applied to new build and refurbishment building projects at both strategic and design stages.

Low carbon strategic design advice can be applied to projects or developments at early stages. At this early stage design teams may not have been appointed and targets and conceptual aspirations are recommended.

Design stage low carbon advice can be applied to projects with design teams whom require a low carbon consultant to consider technologies such as passive design solutions, energy connectivity with neighbouring sites and renewables (e.g. solar water heating, photovoltaics, wind turbines, hydro generation etc) or low carbon technologies (e.g. geothermal heat pumps, combined heat and power etc) 

The practice of low carbon design advice can lead to carbon zero and in some cases carbon negative projects.
