Energy Statements for Planning
What is an Energy Statement and Why do I need one?
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.

The Energy Statement for Planning Process Explained
Provide your planning drawings and any specific preferences that you may have for your development. These will be reviewed alongside the energy planning policy and the energy statement requirements of your local authority to determine the energy and carbon emission targets that will need to be applied.
A baseline assessment will then be conducted using the appropriate modelling software (SAP or SBEM) to establish your development's energy needs and expected carbon emissions. This assessment will consider the design, layout, building fabric, and systems that will be utilised to provide heating, hot water, and lighting. Next, the ‘Energy Hierarchy’ will be followed to reduce energy demand through design upgrades, provide clean energy, and explore opportunities for incorporating LZC (Low Zero Carbon) technologies, such as solar panels or heat pumps, through a renewable energy feasibility study.
Finally, any offset requirements resulting from an onsite shortfall in carbon emissions reductions will be calculated and managed to ensure compliance with council policies, providing you with seamless energy compliance solutions.
