Overheating
Overheating calculations are essential for demonstrating compliance with Building Regulations Part O, which aims to reduce the risk of excessive indoor heat in new residential buildings. Our assessments help architects, developers, and consultants ensure that dwellings are designed to maintain comfortable temperatures during warmer months without relying on energy-intensive cooling systems.
Using approved methods, including CIBSE TM59 where applicable, we assess key design factors such as glazing, orientation, ventilation, and shading. Our detailed reports highlight potential overheating risks and offer practical design recommendations to meet Part O requirements. By addressing these risks early in the design process, you can avoid costly delays, improve occupant comfort, and meet planning and regulatory standards. Whether for single homes or large developments, our service supports safe, sustainable, and regulation-compliant building design.
