Energy Statements
We provide comprehensive Energy Statements to support planning applications and demonstrate compliance with local and national energy policies. An Energy Statement for Planning is a technical report that outlines how a development will minimise energy demand, reduce carbon emissions, and incorporate renewable or low-carbon technologies.
Our Assessments align with the “Be Lean, Be Clean, Be Green” energy hierarchy of The London Plan, emphasising energy efficiency first, followed by optimising building systems, and finally, integrating renewable solutions such as solar panels or heat pumps.
Whether for residential, commercial, or mixed-use developments, Energy Statements are tailored to meet planning authority requirements, helping streamline approvals and ensure your project meets sustainability targets.
What is an Energy Statement?
Local authorities are implementing strategies to lower the energy demand and carbon emissions of developments across the UK. An energy statement is a detailed report that explains how a proposed residential or commercial development utilises energy and how efficiently it will perform under occupancy.
Whether your development falls under The London Plan or another local planning authority in the UK, Energy Planning & Compliance Solutions provide tailored energy compliance solutions that include detailed, clear energy strategies specific to your project requirements. With extensive policy knowledge, the relevant standards will be targeted to enhance your chances of securing an approval on your energy statement requirements the first time.
What is included
How can we assist?
- Fully accredited and vastly experienced
- Nationwide coverage providing policy compliant Energy statements for planning applications that fall under The London Plan and all other local planning authorities
- Fully accredited SAP & SBEM Calculations to quantify carbon reduction strategies for residential and commercial developments
- Development of a specification for fabric, heating, lighting and low carbon and renewable technologies
- Support from planning through to Building Control sign-off
- Competitive pricing and fast turnaround times
Policy-led reporting
Reports are structured to demonstrate how the proposed development responds to relevant local and national energy and carbon emissions policy requirements.
Carbon reduction strategy
We set out measures that reduce energy demand, improve building performance, and support lower operational carbon emissions.
Low-carbon technologies
Recommendations consider suitable renewable and low-carbon technologies that can strengthen the overall planning submission.
Design-integrated advice
Input is aligned with the wider design process so energy strategy can be considered alongside layout, fabric, services, and overheating risk.
