 Sustainable Design Solutions
Low Carbon Building Design
Low carbon technology can be integrated at design, renovation or refurbishment stage to invest in the future of the building and our environment. By making informed choices now you can save future costs and minimise carbon emissions.
We continuously monitor the development of low carbon technologies and materials to ensure the recommendations we make provide the best solution for your requirements. Our focus is on design, functionality and comfort.
Green Energy Partners provides design advice for new build, renovation and refurbishment projects. Our low carbon design services include day-lighting and artificial lighting, conventional and renewable heating, ventilation and cooling, building controls, building fabric and thermal mass.
Low Carbon Design Advice

Certification of Design
Green Energy Partners is an approved certifier of design and we provide certification of section 6, Scottish Building Regulations. This can save you 10% on building warrant fees and shorten the building warrant process.
If we are satisfied that a project design meets section 6 guidance, this should be accepted by the local authority and no further scrutiny of the energy related aspects of the project will be necessary. This can result in significant time savings for a project as the building can already be certified as compliant when the building warrant application is submitted.
