energy and sustainability

hmh architects are certified Passivhaus designers and Stroma Energy Assessors, meaning sustainability issues can be integrated into our design development process at the earliest opportunity. We have both Domestic Energy Assessment (DEA) and Domestic On Construction Energy Assessment (DOCEA) Certification with Stroma, in addition, as certified Passivhaus Designers, hmh architects are able to assess the energy needs and performance of our designs as well as provide UK Gov SAP Assessments and EPC Certificates.

This knowledge enables sustainability and energy efficiency issues to be discussed and integrated into our design process from the earliest opportunity allowing informed decisions on energy strategies to be made.

The integration of these issues into our designs ensures that the most sustainable, cost effective, risk aware solutions are developed to meet the Client’s needs now and for the future.

hmh architects are committed to help our Clients achieve the best environmental solutions for their projects and meet or exceed current standards to help reduce carbon emissions.

refurbishment and regeneration

hmh architects have significant experience of refurbishment and regeneration projects. We have built up a breadth of knowledge and expertise working on a range of projects, from large-scale master planning of mixed-use developments, refurbishment and conversion of existing, historical and listed buildings.

With our in-house Passivhaus and energy assessor skills and accreditations, we are able to adapt the new build criteria to suit existing buildings and provide solutions for reducing carbon emissions.

hmh architects can help Clients with large property portfolios to maintain, manage and plan maintenance work, with space, access and energy audits, to assess the long-term fitness for purpose and use of the building for decades to come.

We have the experience needed to enable us to assess more accurately the scope of work required at an early stage which informs a better cost estimate and viability options for a proposal.
