Building Services, Net Zero and Sustainability — Aberdeen FAQs
Can you integrate our project with Aberdeen’s existing or planned heat networks
Yes. We coordinate with local heat network operators on interface points, metering and substation design. Our designs allow phased connection, appropriate return temperatures and resilient back‑up so assets are future‑proofed and lifecycle cost is controlled.
What do local planning policies expect on energy and low‑carbon measures
Expect to submit a clear LZC strategy, water efficiency measures and the relevant sustainability checklist with your application. We package compliant energy statements and coordinate pre‑application discussions to streamline determination.
What will Scotland’s EPC reforms mean for our Aberdeen offices and labs
A reformed EPC regime will bring updated non‑domestic ratings and a shorter certificate validity. We run early reference‑building checks to forecast banding, prioritise fabric and systems changes and avoid surprises at lease, funding or disposal.
How do the recent Section 6 (Energy) changes affect designs in Aberdeen
Section 6 tightens envelope backstops and adds a delivered‑energy focus. We tune the balance of fabric, controls and LZC technologies to achieve compliance headroom without over‑specifying plant, and document assumptions clearly for verifiers.
Are there grid connection challenges in the North East — what can we do
Connection timelines are improving for smaller on‑site generation, but proactive planning still matters. We use DNO tools early, design demand management and stage PV or storage to fit local thresholds and available capacity.
Can you align our project with Aberdeen’s Local Heat & Energy Efficiency Strategy (LHEES)
Yes. We map assets against priority zones, assess heat‑network readiness and package investible proposals that support the city’s delivery plan. This helps with planning, funding applications and stakeholder engagement.
What does “good” look like for large venues and campuses in Aberdeen
Diversified low‑carbon plant with thermal storage, robust controls and a smart operating strategy. We design campus systems that manage peaks, export surplus intelligently and build in pathways for hydrogen or network connection as they scale.
Do you support healthcare and education estates decarbonisation in the region
Yes. We develop staged delivery plans combining quick operational wins with major plant changeovers. Where appropriate, we integrate campus links and explore local low‑carbon heat sources to reduce long‑term cost and risk.
How do you engage with the Energy Transition Zone and South Harbour growth
We support occupiers and developers with power, heat and hydrogen‑ready utilities that align with the emerging infrastructure around the ETZ and the expanded harbour, shortening lead‑times and enabling flexible expansion.
