Accredited energy and overheating compliance consultants for architects, developers and self-builders across England, Wales and Scotland.
Who We Are
Overheating occurs when indoor temperatures exceed those acceptable for human comfort. Prolonged exposure to high temperatures has serious health consequences — particularly for the vulnerable, elderly and young.
We provide a single, cohesive strategy developed according to each site's environmental constraints — reducing heat gains and providing practical solutions that remove excess heat.
"We believe people should be able to live in comfort in properties all year round."
