Sustainability

LEP can also provide environmental building consultancy services, and strive to help clients create sustainable, healthy, energy efficient and low carbon buildings, which are practical and commercially viable.

We employ a holistic approach to the challenges of sustainable design, with our specialist designers offering innovative and practical strategies, allowing us to provided early concept ideas for low energy buildings which can be developed through the design stage to completed schemes.

We advocate a ‘fabric first’ approach to the challenges of sustainability and environmental building design. ‘Fabric first’ principles involve maximising the performance of the components and materials that make up the building fabric itself, before considering the use of mechanical or electrical building services systems. This helps reduce capital and operational costs, improve energy efficiency and reduce carbon emissions
