Glasgow — Building Services, Net Zero and Planning FAQs

Do you deliver M&E design for offices, education and healthcare in Glasgow

Yes. We provide full MEP design and advisory support for commercial offices, universities and colleges, and NHS and local authority projects. Our focus is buildable solutions that meet programme, budget and performance targets.

Do you produce Energy Statements and sustainability inputs for planning

Yes. We prepare clear, proportionate Energy Statements, LZC appraisals and overheating assessments. We align with Section 6 requirements and provide a straightforward route to determination.

How do you design for heat network zones and connection‑ready buildings

We assess proximity to prospective or emerging networks, size plate heat exchangers and substations appropriately and detail low return temperature strategies. Where a network is not yet available, we specify cost‑effective provision for future connection.

How do you handle Section 6 compliance and the New Build Heat Standard

We model to Section 6 using SBEM or SAP as appropriate and design for zero direct emissions heating on applicable new schemes. We document assumptions and options so warrants progress without delay.

Can you assess overheating risk for residential and PBSA projects

Yes. We carry out TM59 assessments for homes and PBSA, and TM52 where non‑domestic spaces are in scope. We integrate shading, glazing and ventilation measures early to avoid late design changes.

Do you support universities and colleges across the West of Scotland

Yes. We work across multi‑building estates, pairing project delivery with metering strategies, controls optimisation and post‑occupancy evaluation. The aim is lower operational energy and better comfort for students and staff.

Do you produce BREEAM strategies and circular economy evidence

Yes. We integrate energy credits with low‑carbon heat feasibility, materials reuse, refrigerant impact and embodied carbon advice. We coordinate with the design team so credits are secured efficiently.
