We can help
Working
alongside Architects, Developers and other building & construction
professionals, DKP Energy Efficiency deliver ‘low energy’ and passive
buildings through our iterative design and specification process. First we
consider specific project constraints, such as site, occupier’s comfort,
dwelling appearances, and cost/benefit, which we then input into modelling
software in order to produce the most appropriate construction and fixed
services detail specifications
DKP Energy Eficiency are different, we do
not sell you anything, but our time and experience. We work with you to help
you achieve your goals.
‘Low-energy’ and ‘passive’ buildings are often designed as a
convoluted and mis-matched combination
of systems, technologies, services and materials. As independent consultants we
cut through the ‘greenwash’ to find our clients the simplest and most
cost-effective materials, technologies and solutions for their dwellings.
‘Fabric First’ is the best approach in our view; lower the predicted energy
demands and then look to satisfy those demands in the most economical way. We
can add in the cost of installation, and compare this to the savings payback.
Another way to save money is water
conservation. If you can reduce your 'mains' water demand, you will save money,
and help the environment. This does not mean skimping on washing, but using
water in a different way, saving rainwater, diverting water from washing
machines, etc. There are a multitude of ways you can save this precious
resource, and we can show you the most suitable for your particular situation.
We can guide you through the maze of choosing
the right heat and electricity source(s) for your property, how to reduce the
demand for energy in your home. Whether you want to save money, save energy, or
save the planet, DKP Energy Efficiency can give you the concise unbiased and well
researched information & advice you need to make these important decisions.
