COMPANY PROFILE
Who are we? Applied Energy are independent, innovative and informed mechanical, electrical and public health services consultants who specialise in providing energy efficient and cost effective solutions to meet the needs of a wide range of corporate, public sector and private clients. Applied Energy has built up a team of individual experts across the complete range of building services sectors and is able to provide consultancy, design, management and commissioning of MEP project services. It is our view that the projects below demonstrate Applied Energy's commitment to working with the industry to develop products to deliver energy efficiency and consequently environmental improvements. A team spirit has helped to harness the various different technologies required in order that our clients can reap the benefits. This has resulted in a first class total solutions service to our clients, meeting head on the challenge laid down from the environmentalists and the Government to achieve greater emission reductions. One of the key fears of consultants is the risk of failure when considering taking a pioneering approach to a client's brief. This is probably one of the key factors in the slow uptake of innovative products and services. People like the comfort factor of tried and tested 'conventional' solutions. Applied Energy have clearly demonstrated that we have faced up to the challenges and risks associated with innovative solutions and in doing so have tapped the knowledge and expertise of our industry manufacturers, suppliers and installers to deliver solutions today that will stand our clients in good stead for the future.
What We Do Building Services Design Applied Energy is able to provide a comprehensive suite of solutions to meet all clients needs throughout the project lifecycle covering mechanical, electrical and plumbing (MEP) services. Applied Energy can undertake surveys and reporting duties on the existing facilities of a building, either legacy or those that have just been installed. Applied Energy has considerable experience in negotiating complex planning matters and can provide energy strategy reports as required by the planners using data from building modelling tools. They can design air conditioning, general ventilation, heating, electrical and lighting systems with expertise on communication/data systems, building management, commissioning, and documentation review. Energy Management Support Applied Energy provide monthly energy management support to a number of hotel operators dealing with a wide variety of factors, such as energy benchmarking using sophisticated software models, targeting and forecasting future consumption patterns. Relocation Assistance Business relocations are an important aspect of modern growing and developing businesses. Relocations require an intensive mix of support services to ensure that move is carried effectively with the minimum of down time and cost effectively. Applied Energy brings relevant experience to the relocation team typically providing: Air Conditioning Assessments Space Planning Support Work Place Wire Management Schemes Pre Occupation Inspections Post Occupancy Surveys Lighting Re-Configurations Swimming Pool Engineering Applied Energy has helped design and improve numerous swimming pool facilities for private individuals, hotels and leisure centres. By implementing feasibility studies and safety assessments including assessments of swimming pool energy efficiency, system design, drainage, filtration/sanitisation and heat recovery systems, Applied Energy is able to make the running of a swimming pool more cost effective and reduce maintenance needs. They can also help to improve lighting, ventilation and heating in problem facilities. High End Residential Applied Energy has been involved with high end residential developments since its inception. Such developments require creative thinking combined with value engineering to enable the wow factor to be built in and the development yield to be maximised. This often requires complex navigation through all the technical wizardry involved with highly specified modern homes. Planned Maintenance Support Applied Energy has also helped companies implement simple but highly effective maintenance processes and procedures to help improve plant lifetimes, reduce callout costs and ensure that their plant and staff remain as efficient as possible. Dispute Resolution Duties With the ever-increasing safety related legislation coming in to affect and the consequent demands being placed on litigants, the requirement for well informed and effective expert witness of disputes has never been so great. The increase in Alternative Dispute Resolutions requires the early gathering of the facts to curtail continuing litigation and ensure that an appropriate deal can be struck at minimum cost. Applied Energy have the requisite expertise to provide legal professionals with technical support services. Energy Efficiency Engineering Where Applied Energy excels is in bringing energy efficiency to general mechanical, electrical and plumbing services and examples of some previous projects are detailed in this document. Through surveys, monitoring and more commonly in recent year through the use of automated building management systems, Applied Energy is able to trouble shoot and correct all manner of efficiency issues in existing and new systems.

What We Do Modelling, Visualisation & Simulation Applied Energy can provide building Modelling, Visualisation and Simulation using state of the art software tools. Using advanced modelling techniques enables us to understand how architectural proposals will perform environmentally, provide pleasant conditions for its occupants and to predict its likely energy consumption. Whilst the use of software packages are now essential in determining optimum design solutions, there is still no substitute for design experience in knowing how to apply best practice. Carbon Management There is a significant and ever increasing amount of regulatory compliance actions that building owners and operators are required to carry out. Applied Energy employ trained and accredited specialists to carry out such compliance actions. The ever increasing pressure to implement carbon reduction programmes requires the use of experienced personnel to ensure that the right solutions are identified. Renewable Technologies With the recent explosion in the requirement for renewable energy solutions to provide varying percentage reductions in CO2 or Energy by local authorities, Applied Energy have developed sophisticated tools to enable the most appropriate system selection for the specific site. We are able to provide these recommendations in terms of written reports suitable for submission to local planning bodies including the Greater London Authority. Applied Energy can provide the following and more: Planning Application Support Sustainability Surveys Sustainability Reports Greater London Authority (GLA) Renewable Energy Reports Solar Pre Heat Solar Photovoltaic Wind Turbines Biomass Systems Energy Efficient Lighting Hydroelectricity Ground, Water And Air Source Heat Pump Solutions Master Planning & Infrastructure Applied Energy can provide engineering master planning advice for both small and large scale developments bring a range of specialist skills to the team. Typically infrastructure services may comprise: Electrical Power Primary Generation and Distribution Drainage and Sanitation District Heating & Cooling Schemes Water Supply Capture, Storage and Distribution Communications, Audio Visual and IT The on-going explosion of communication technology and associated peripherals requires an up-todate know how in order that the optimum harmonisation of technology into a modern building can be achieved.
