Roger
Preston Environmental is a specialist division of Roger Preston
& Partners that provides expert advice on all aspects of sustainable
design within the built
environment.
Underlying
our service is the belief that intelligent design is the mechanism
through which sustainable principles are translated into practical,
cost-effective solutions that
satisfy the aspirations of owners, occupiers and future generations.
Our
service is based on:
|
 |
In-depth
analysis of building form and environment |
|
Extensive knowledge of
modern construction materials and processes |
|
An understanding of
the advantages and limitations of both passive and active
systems |
|
Computer modelling of
facades, air movement, temperature and contaminant distribution |
|
Wide experience of every type of energy
source and building services system |
Bringing
these factors together with a real understanding of both client
and user requirements results in buildings and environments that
can satisfy all stakeholders.

Comfort Matters
|
In
addition to the obvious advantages of improved occupant health,
contentment and workplace harmony, authoritative studies show
that better Indoor Environmental Quality (IEQ) makes sound
financial sense through reduction in absenteeism and increased
productivity.
|
|
Roger Preston Environmental has the software
tools and expertise to evaluate every type of building and ensure
that IEQ solutions are both effective and affordable. Typically,
such assessments include analysis of year round thermal and
visual comfort, using 3-D virtual models in conjunction with
benchmarking against industry best practice and client targets.
In addition to being highly skilled in the application of these
analytical techniques, our engineers can draw on years of experience
in designing for occupant comfort, thus blending theoretical
knowledge with a real understanding of its practical application. |

Leaders In Sustainable Building
|
Buildings have a major impact on
the natural environment and governments are, understandably,
introducing ever more regulations to promote the principle
of sustainability.
|
|
Every project has its own unique signature and, whereas tried
and tested solutions are employed wherever appropriate, each
case is evaluated on its merits in an endeavour to ensure
optimal solutions.
|
|
|
| |
|
|
|
Design Accreditation
|
Increasingly, buildings must not
only be environmentally friendly but also able to demonstrate
such through benchmarking against a range of sustainability
targets, some of which are imposed by law.
|
|
We are registered assessors for the Building Research Establishment’s
Environmental Assessment Method (BREEAM) and EcoHomes, which
have established themselves as the UK’s de facto standard
for measuring building sustainability. We are also able to
evaluate buildings against the US LEED system of environmental
measurement and have provided advice on the development of
environmental assessment schemes in several countries around
the world.
Many of our buildings have achieved the highest BREEAM and
other environmental assessment ratings and our team of assessors
offers practical and independent advice on building performance
and labelling during all stages of a project.

An Essential Member Of Your Team
|
Sometimes
it is difficult to get the right answers unless you know the
questions.
We take an active role in helping establish the brief, presenting
appropriate options and developing the design.
Working closely with architects and other members of the professional
team is especially important in the development of sustainable
buildings, so that the built form can be optimized in relation
to the passive and active systems to be employed.
|
|
Our early involvement enables us to make a
constructive contribution based on considered analysis of the
available options and a detailed understanding of the client’s
requirements.
Leading edge software forms part of our toolbox, allowing us
to analyze ideas and ‘what if’ scenarios on 3-D
virtual models of any building. Successfully applying these
tools to deliver optimum results in the context of real construction
projects is our trademark. This is achieved by experienced design
engineers making use of modern software tools, rather than software
specialists looking for applications.
Roger Preston Environmental is committed to delivering the sustainable
buildings you want, within the commercial realities we must
all recognize. |
