ADVANCED ENGINEERING MODELLING SOLUTIONS - LTD

AEMS is an independent energy and sustainability consultancy for the construction industry with international project experience.

We are accredited specialists with many years’ project experience in all aspects of the built environment: from concept to operation.

We provide analysis and assessment, SBEM reports, documentations and calculations to help you meet building regulation compliance, planning applications and improve building performance.

About Us

Modelling for the built environment

AEMS is an environmental modelling consultancy which offers strategic solutions for the built environment using advanced computational tools. Our specialist expertise can help designers, architects, building services engineers, property managers and quality assures to take strategic decisions at all stages of the design, from conceptual to operational.

Building Physics

Modelling Expertise

Our experts assess the architecture, structure, facades and building services to model the expected energy performance of both new and refurbished buildings.

This approach encompasses both internal and external environments and factors such as façade performance, heating, and solar shading. By using techniques such as computational fluid dynamics and dynamic thermal modelling at an early design stage, we can improve building and energy performance both within a specific area and for the building overall.

OUR SERVICES

Our sustainability consultants are involved in projects from the concept stage, specialising in low energy building design and environmental assessments, including air flow analysis, solar and wind studies, through the later stages of design, when Part L assessments, rigorous overheating checks and energy predictions are undertaken. Such studies enable engineers to produce informed design strategies while minimising risk.

What We Do

SUSTAINABILITY

We provide sustainable design solutions and consultancy services with a focus on pre-planning advice and sustainable energy strategies, including:

Passive Design that provides real carbon and energy savings without compromising occupancy comfort
Energy and sustainability statements for planning applications.
Low and Zero Carbon Technologies strategies and systems analysis

BUILDING PHYSICS

We specialise in building modelling tools such as computational fluid dynamics and dynamic thermal modelling which enable us to assess daylight, CO2 emissions overheating and comfort levels within buildings.

Our LCEA and OCDEA assessors provide high quality Domestic and Non-Domestic energy performance certificates (EPC's) SAP’s and SBEM calculations for compliance with Part L of the building regulations.

BUILDING PERFORMANCE

We deliver passive design strategies that provide real carbon and energy savings without compromising occupancy comfort.

We utilise a range of advanced computational modelling techniques. Our extensive experience in building physics allow us to assess the requirements to optimise building design to ensure high levels of natural daylight while achieving comfortable internal conditions through natural ventilation, efficient facade design, optimised orientation and site position.

WIND ASSESSMENT

We provide specialist consultancy service in Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), heat transfer analysis, airflow and

contamination dispersion in both internal and external environments. Our specialist team of CFD experts have

relevant academic qualifications and are trained to the highest level and have considerable experience in both

CFD analysis and complex building physics problems

THERMAL BRIDGE

We are able to carry out thermal bridging calculations for new building to help achieve a better Emission Rate (DER or BER). and fabric energy efficiency FEE

re. It is a requirement that Thermal Bridging is formally calculated or default values have to be used in SAP which can make it much more difficult (and expensive) to comply with the new regulations

CFD COMFORT ANALYSIS

Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) modelling is a highly complex technique and is used in building performance simulation to calculate local air flow and temperature distribution of a defined environment. CFD

is increasingly used to evaluate and optimise the design as it allows the designer to predict the performance of the proposed strategy and refine the design as required.
