OPERON
have considerable experience in low energy
passive design, and are currently working
on many innovative and energy conscious designs.
We have built up a reputation for designing
‘Green’ buildings and achieving
low CO2 levels by using our expertise in integrating
the environmental systems with the building
form.
Via CPD we maintain up to date awareness of
environmental codes including BSRIA, BREEAM
and CIBSE best practice.Our approach is where
possible to ‘design out’ reliance
on active Mechanical and Electrical Services,
and to maximise the use of the passive elements
of the building i.e.:-
•
Orientation
•
Exposed internal mass of structure
•
Thermal inertia
•
Structural overhangs
•
Surface colour |
|
•
Insulation
•
Shading and brise soliel
•
Natural ventilation
•
Natural daylighting |
