Daylight + Solar Design
Imaginative and effective use of daylight that adds value and quality to the proposed development.
Our professional team is dedicated to the design of natural light within the built environment.
We have developed a series of bespoke daylight and solar design services that support architects and developers’ visions from the master plan through to the planning application process and all the way on to detailed specification. Our daylight consultants focus their advice on the proposed development and are able to provide the relevant assessments for CSH (Code for sustainable Homes) and BREEAM – the world class environmental assessment system.
