HOME ENERGY RATING
Abian Design specialises in providing comprehensive energy efficiency reports through the use of NatHERS-accredited software. We meticulously evaluate the thermal and energy performance of your building, producing certified energy efficiency ratings. Our assessment encompasses considerations such as building fabric, orientation, quantity of glazing, and active systems within the structure. Additionally, we determine optimal insulation levels for walls, floors, and ceilings, along with minimum glazing U-Value and Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SHGC). We also offer guidance on implementing energy-efficient active systems to help you generate the necessary energy within your home.
Why Abian Design
At Abian Design, our streamlined approach guarantees prompt delivery of high-quality Energy Reports for every project. We kick-start the process with an initial assessment, furnishing you with a comprehensive breakdown of all the prerequisites necessary for your building to meet compliance standards. This ensures you have accurate information early in the development phase, fostering improved communication with designers for optimised thermal performance assessments and a clearer understanding of construction costs before project initiation.
What is NatHERS Energy Rating
The Nationwide House Energy Rating Scheme (NatHERS) furnishes energy ratings for new dwellings, retrofitting, and extensions. This initiative contributes to the development of energy-efficient, resilient, and comfortable homes for the future, resulting in reduced running costs.
