Varming Consulting Engineers – Sustainability in Design

08 June 2017

At Varming Consulting Engineers Ireland, we are leaders in our field of sustainable building design through the use of advanced energy and environmental modelling, in addition to a wealth of knowledge and experience relating to NZEB, Passive House Design, BER, DEC and BREEAM certification.

Integrating our existing green building technologies with Building Information Modelling (BIM), enables us to exceed project regulatory standards and make sure that buildings we design are geared up for the future, protecting their long term value and making them ready for the impending rollout of the Net Zero Energy Building (NZEB) concept across Europe.

Our team of building services design consultants are able to use their expertise to advise in the following areas of specialism:

Adherence to the internationally recognised Building Research Environmental Assessment Methods (BREEAM) scheme, the long established method of rating and assessing of building sustainability.

  • Achieving various levels of Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification, the system which actively promotes moving the construction industry focus to sustainable design, using green technologies.
  • CPD education in the principles of environmental design, assessment and sustainability.

NZEB/Passive House

Varming Consulting Engineers are committed to help our clients achieve the most stringent standards of thermal performance and will lead your building project from the planning and concept stage, right through the construction process.

We are at the frontier of a new era in Construction and are constantly striving to work more efficiently, using cutting-edge green technologies and offering sustainability of design in every project we are involved with.

According to the EU’s Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD), all buildings are required to be NZEB compliant by as soon as 2021. What this means to building owners is that it’s important to do what can be done to future-proof their most valuable of assets. It may mean a financial outlay at the beginning, but this investment will continue to pay you back year upon year in energy savings, for the entire lifecycle of the building.

If you would like to take your company’s first steps in achieving the highest levels of sustainability, why not give us a call on 01 4872300 at our Head Office and we can help you get started. Alternatively, visit our website http://www.varming.ie/services/sustainability for more information.
