Energy performance survey and consultancy services

Efficient energy use is becoming an increasingly popular trend with energy costs continually rising. Property developers and real estate owners and managers are aware of the increasingly stringent requirements in the Buildings Decree with regard to the –Energy Performance Standard and the Energy Performance on Location (EPL) standard. The Energy Performance Standard expresses the energy-efficiency of new buildings in a number, the Energy Performance Coefficient (EPC). This calculation is based on the building’s characteristics, systems and the standard behaviour of its users. Like the EPC, the EPL is a standard for energetic quality. However, the EPL applies to the entire building location. When it comes to project development, more and more attention is being devoted to the effective use of energy through measures such as double glazing and cavity wall insulation. This can yield a significant saving in heating and cooling costs, while sparing the environment. Efficient energy use through the application of energy-efficient construction and electrical engineering techniques from the very first design phase will allow you to manage energy costs more effectively.

TAILOR-MADE CONSULTANCY SERVICES

Search acknowledges the need for energy-efficiency is and familiar with all the relevant standardsin het Bouwbesluit opgenomen. We conduct all assessments in line with these standards according to certified procedures.Ons bureau is gecertificeerd op basis van de BRL9500-3/4 door KIWA Certificatie en Keuringen. Our experienced consultants can provide you tailor-made recommendations on more efficient energy use in new developments and existing houses, office, institution, factory, store and business premises. They can also conduct energy performance scans in order to chart your current energy use. The results of these scans then form the basis for recommendations on realising projects with the highest possible energy-efficiency. They can offer you tips and solutions regarding the installation of intelligent systems that generate energy from wind, solar energy and biomass. The use of limitless sources of energy ensures greater compliance with the EPN as the building will be much more CO2-neutral than a property built with conventional methods. An energy-efficient building that emits little or no CO2, saves water and creates less waste is good for the environment and saves the user a high energy bill.
