Our Sustainable and Environmental Building Services include:

  • Sustainability, energy and environmental reporting
  • Renewable energy feasibility and design
  • Low carbon heating feasibility and design
  • Feasibility and design of other energy sources 
  • Surveys and certificates

Sustainability, Energy and Environmental Reporting

Our reports provide you with the information you need to create a strategic plan to reduce your carbon and implement cost savings. If you have a Net Zero target but have no idea how to get there, our reports will guide your decarbonisation plan for your building portfolio. 

Energy and Carbon Reporting for Buildings

A report detailing the energy consumption and CO₂ emissions from buildings. Assessing the electricity, gas and water consumption for each building. Includes a list of energy saving measures tailored to reduce energy consumption and CO₂ emissions.

Energy and Carbon Reporting for Transport

A report detailing the energy consumption and CO₂ emissions from company and grey fleet vehicles. Assessing the fuel consumption and mileage for each vehicle. Includes a list of recommendations tailored to reduce transport CO₂ emissions.

Heat Decarbonisation Report

A report detailing the energy consumption and CO₂ emissions from the building heating system. Assessing the gas / oil consumption for the boilers and building fabric heat losses.  Includes advice on replacing the existing heating system with heat pumps and to reduce energy consumption and CO₂ emissions.

Energy Metering Report

A report evaluating the existing energy and water metering across a site. The report will recommend additional sub-metering required to improve visibility of energy consumption across the site; including heat meters. Also includes recommendations for energy metering software and remote meter reading technology.   Especially beneficial for larger sites with multiple buildings.  

Performance Monitoring and Reporting

Whenever significant investments are made to building services, measuring performance is crucial for maintaining accountability and optimising performance.  Periodic monitoring and reporting enable data-driven independent assessment of asset performance.

At PSA, we pride ourselves on being at the forefront of sustainable building practices, constantly staying updated with the latest technologies and industry trends. Our commitment to sustainability extends beyond just engineering solutions; it encompasses a holistic approach to creating healthier, more efficient, and environmentally responsible built environments. Partner with us today and experience the difference our expertise can make in your sustainable building endeavours.
