Climate change increases overheating risks by raising ambient temperatures, making it harder to maintain indoor comfort. TM52 assessments often include future climate projections to design resilient, adaptable buildings.
Thermal mass helps regulate indoor temperatures by absorbing and releasing heat gradually, reducing temperature spikes. It supports TM52 compliance by enhancing passive cooling strategies and reducing reliance on mechanical cooling systems.
TM52 applies to non-residential buildings, such as offices and schools, while TM59 focuses on residential spaces. Each has distinct criteria tailored to the unique operational and thermal demands of its building type.
Urban heat islands retain more heat due to dense infrastructure, increasing overheating risks. TM52 calculations often factor in this effect by recommending enhanced ventilation, shading, and reflective materials to mitigate heat retention.
Spoke with Josh who not only reassured me but asked for a fee that I thought was fair. Thank you Josh. Use again? Definitely.
The team really know their stuff – super helpful and always had clear answers to any questions or compliance issues we ran into. Definitely our go-to for any future projects!
Quick and well priced water calculation service and received an appliance specification report alongside the certificate which was really useful for us and the building control officer, highly recommended!
Very knowledgeable about building regulations, and the industry. Always goes the extra mile to help out! 5*
