Outstanding service from Josh, very prompt and professional. Advice provided was very useful in making changes to meet requirements so that we could go ahead with our planned extension. Josh is a very calm and polite person, which made it easier to communicate. He was also the best priced, so very happy with the service and would not hesitate to use again.

Josh at Energy Digest was superb.

He took the time to talk through the requirements of the project (larger than 'permitted' areas of glazing) listening to what we wanted and then offering useful advice. He explored different options with us and was able to specify cost effective materials that ensured the SAP rating of our design exceeded the requirements current building regulations.

Thanks Josh!

Consultants

What Do Energy Statements Assess?

Energy Statements report on how a development’s energy efficiency, heating system and renewable technologies perform against the energy and carbon policies set out in the relevant council’s Local Plan and Supplementary Planning Documents (SPDs).

This is normally calculated using the established energy hierarchy – be lean, be clean, be green – to demonstrate the proposed development’s reductions against the local authorities targets.
