Low Carbon MEP Design

The main focus of our business is the design of building services (MEP - mechanical, engineering and plumbing) systems. We provide award-winning, highly qualified and experienced teams to design MEP systems across all sectors.

Teams consist of talented engineers trained to deliver first class building services solutions. Our ability to produce innovative design, backed up with a dedicated project commitment, underpins our ability to create long term partnerships with our clients.

We continue to grasp the future for new technologies in advance of ever changing legislation. This allows us to continue to challenge existing practices and develop a greener and more economic basis for design.

We provide award-winning, highly qualified and experienced teams to design MEP systems across all sectors. Our ability to produce innovative design, backed up with a dedicated project commitment, underpins our ability to create long term partnerships with our clients. 

On-going energy savings and long-term carbon reductions can be realised by the installation of low or zero carbon technologies. It is, however, extremely important that these technologies are investigated fully in order to establish the site specific feasibility, both technically and economically. Poorly selected and ‘bolted on’ LZC technologies can result in poorly performing buildings where expected savings are not realised.

Building physics is an essential part in producing energy efficient design: it explains how the services systems interact with each other and also how the building is interacting with the changing external environmental conditions.

Through our partnership with our software providers IES, we have developed our modelling capabilities using the most advanced HVAC analysis software available. It is this award-winning partnership that gives us the ability to model real building HVAC systems with their associated control loops, thus giving us un-rivalled accuracy in this field.

We have full in-house ability to provide REVIT design information. Its successful utilisation assists in reduction of costs and encourages collaborative working between design team, developer and end user clients.

The concept of maintaining all information in one model increases the efficiencies for transfer of information, allowing the overall design and installation process to be quicker, more accurate and consistent. Lateral are fully certified in the use of this process and have successfully concluded designs for major projects.
