“I have worked with AES over a number of years and they have provided me with great service at all times, their willingness to help at critical stages of the design process and make meeting at short notice with Planning Authorities is also appreciated. For me their work ethic is refreshing and they are always willing to strive to get best value for the developer.”

Andrew Dicker, Technical Director, Legal & General Homes

Situation

Buckler’s Park, a 250-acre site in Berkshire, is Legal & General Homes’ first development of sustainable, contemporary-styled houses. The development is built to Part L 2013 with 19% site-wide carbon emissions savings from renewables.

Result

AES Sustainability Consultants are providing Legal & General Homes with an end-to-end service to ensure that energy and sustainability targets are met cost effectively by:

• Challenging complex planning conditions by working with the planners, providing a cost-effective solution.

• Developing a value engineered specification, taking the lead from the client on their supply chain decisions, such as the use of aggregate inner leaf blockwork.

• Assisting with overheating analysis.

Impact

In the process, we have saved the client £1million by reducing PV requirement using our approach.

We will continue to coordinate and carry out the on site air-testing and production of EPCs to provide the client with our end-to-end service.
