We also have a strong sustainability section within the group. We continuously support our engineers to develop their expertise in this field of engineering. We now have fully qualified and registered assessors in the following fields.
BREEAM (British research environmental engineering assessment methodology)
SEI – Building Energy Rating Assessor (BER – domestic and commercial)
SEI - Display Energy Certificate Assessor (DEC - commercial)
Code for Sustainable Homes
CIBSE – Low Carbon Consultant
CIBSE – Low Carbon Energy Assessor (Level 3, 4 & 5)
With these skilled engineers we can assist in developing the most economical designs that comply with the reduced energy, sustainable and renewable requirements of current day projects.
We have software design capabilities which allow us to complete daylight and shadow analysis, and lighting designs showing the full implications of lamp and fitting selection. We also complete full dynamic modelling on all projects which ensure that all designs are completed at the optimum level.
A key issue in any business is their energy cost. We are currently working with a number of clients to assist in the reduction of energy costs at their premises. This is being completed by a detailed examination of the way they are operating their M&E systems as well as suggestions for incorporating low energy and renewable technologies. The service we are offering is.
- Complete Energy Studies, including site surveys, desk top analysis, recommendations with energy, CO2, reductions, capital costs and payback periods.
- manage the implementation of our reports recommendations,
- review and improvements to operational set ups
- assistance in asset management
- review of maintenance contracts.
OCSC will always look to add value and be a benefit to the process rather than a hindrance.
