Driving sustainability across
UK commercial projects

e2Carbon supports commercial developments across the UK in meeting energy efficiency targets and achieving compliance with ever-evolving building regulations and planning policies.

We deliver practical, independent advice to help projects align with sustainability goals—from early planning through to building operation.

Utility grid connections form part of the building or project development energy strategy. We therefore evaluate and manage statutory authorities as part of our holistic approach to the site-wide energy strategy.

Our services

Planning Support

We provide expert advice and reporting for planning applications, including:

  • Client/project team development sustainability review
  • Energy and sustainability reports
  • Renewable energy and LZC (Low & Zero Carbon) strategies
  • Carbon offset fund calculations
  • Site-wide energy strategies
  • Utility impact assessments
  • Direct liaison with local authority sustainability teams

Building Performance

Optimising building efficiency through:

  • Energy-saving studies for existing buildings
  • M&E condition and dilapidation surveys
  • Renewable energy assessments
  • EPCs and BRUKLs
  • ESOS compliance
  • Net Zero carbon assessments
  • BREEAM & NABERS assessments

Planning for Net Zero

National and local planning policies are increasingly focused on achieving Net Zero by 2050.

We offer clear, independent advice to help you:

  • Understand mandatory sustainability requirements
  • Identify opportunities for improving energy performance
  • Define a site-specific energy and sustainability strategy

We work closely with your planning consultant and architect from early stage concept through to planning application and beyond.

We deliver:

  • Energy and sustainability reports
  • Renewable energy requirement and offset fund calculations
  • Thermal comfort reports
  • EPCs and BRUKLs (design stage)
  • BREEAM assessments

Additional assessments:

  • Predictive energy use
  • Air quality
  • Post-occupancy evaluations

At the project evaluation and pre-planning stage, not all reports and assessments will be required in full; the exact strategy and level of detail required will be tailored to suit the client brief and planning consultant advice.

Reduce your building's energy use and lower carbon impact

With our experience of designing energy systems in UK buildings, we bring practical insight into how energy is consumed. We assess how your building operates, identify opportunities for cost-effective energy-saving upgrades, and provide clear guidance on carbon reduction and payback timelines.
