Aviation

We are continually engaged in self-evaluation to measure and manage our impact on, and contribution to, both industry and planet.

Understanding the airport A specific set of needs Every airport is different and presents unique challenges. As engineers and specialists, we seek to understand the desired outcomes of any development brief and ways in which we can provide technical thought leadership and review. Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, the International Air Transport Association (IATA) predicted a massive increase in passenger numbers to 7.2bn by 2035 (a doubling of the 3.6bn figure for 2016). This would occur alongside the UN’s forecast of an increase in world population to 8bn by 2024 and 9bn by 2042. With this inevitable drive to expand existing airports and to build new ones, we have an important role to play in working with like-minded clients to provide efficient designs with long-term benefits. Airport expansion has also provided opportunities to consider options for improving sustainability. We have developed a roadmap for clients in other sectors, based on a systematic approach including consideration of how a low carbon infrastructure can be developed to be resilient and provide long-term cost and carbon benefits.

We understand that the ability to manage large volumes and fluctuations in air traffic and passengers and the transport interfaces are essential to airport operation. Routes, fleet, emerging aircraft, new ways of using airports and developing technology make for an interesting mix. Equally important is the use of architecture that inspires with scale, quality and clever use of daylight to create natural wayfinding and encourage flow. At the heart of every airport is the passenger experience, which is so important to not only the brand of the airport, but sometimes the perception of the country in which it is based – especially where the airport is a key gateway or hub. Coupled with internal garden and water features and further references to nature and biophilia through the shape and construction elements, we can add a true sense of wellbeing. Finally, a growing social awareness of the energy and carbon associated with aviation offers exciting new opportunities to improve and innovate. We would welcome the opportunity to discuss this with you further and have shown a selection of key contacts within our aviation team on the following page.

Cundall services

Building services engineering

Civil engineering

We offer an end-to-end service, extending from initial planning to construction fit-out, plus lifetime facilities management.

Civil engineering is one of our core services and covers all sectors of the construction industry. We help to create, improve and protect the environment in which we live. We provide facilities for day-to-day life, and for transport and industry to function effectively.

Our mission is to help design sustainable buildings which are more energy efficient and cost-effective to operate. Integration with our in-house civil and structural engineering and specialist teams enables us to devise the best possible solutions to ensure our clients’ buildings are holistic, sustainable and futureproof.

We help each client identify both the constraints placed on development by regulatory requirements and site conditions and the opportunities that can be created through practical and innovative design.

Our approach is focused on offering best value by: analysing client needs, considering possible design options and delivering the most appropriate for location, development and budget.

We work closely with project teams and stakeholders to ensure project deliverables and goals are exceeded, while also providing sustainable solution.

Structural engineering

Sustainability

We provide structural engineering design services with our renowned analytical creativity and ingenuity. As a result, we have a high level of repeat clients. To deliver maximum value to our clients, we aim to be involved in projects from the very outset, which allows us to contribute to the development of fully integrated solutions.

We are positioned at the forefront of sustainability in the built environment. This is because we take a refreshingly positive approach to engineering design, fostering collaboration and creativity. We are driven by the consideration of people.

This creates the greatest benefit and minimises the risk to budget and programme. Our approach is to use 3D modelling software to assist with integration on all our projects.

Aviation Capability Statement

We are carbon neutral certified by the Carbon Trust and have an endorsed science based target for all 3 scopes of our emissions. Having been through these processes ourselves, we have been using our experience to help a range of clients to understand their emissions, set targets and develop action plans for achieving them. This has given us an in-depth understand of carbon footprint for a range of sectors across all scopes. Whenever a brief calls for net zero carbon, we use UK Green Building Council’s Net Zero Carbon methodology, which we helped produce, as a starting point for developing the zero-carbon strategy. It is important to focus on real energy and so for the operational energy, we also adopt the Better Building’s Partnership, Design for Performance (DfP) methodology, based on the NABERS approach for which we are the original pioneering delivery partner. This will allow us to determine the actual impact of design decisions on future energy consumption so that rational decisions can be made.

The operational energy is then added to the embodied carbon associated with the construction of the building over the whole life of the project, with focus on providing a flexible, adaptable, durable design solutions. Our specialist team has contributed to the creation of UK’s first nationally recognised assessment methodology: RICS’s ‘Whole life carbon assessment for the built environment’ and have developed the whole life-cycle carbon methodology for the Greater London Authority (GLA). Having contributed to the creation of a number of global net zero and whole life carbon methodologies we have developed our own steps to net zero carbon which can be applied to all projects. We will hold a workshop with the design team and discuss the approaches required to achieve zero carbon for each building type. We will consider initiatives that might be incorporated in the development that will lower the carbon emissions to the levels suggested by UKGBC.

Aviation Capability Statement

Masterplanning and expansion Targeting a net zero carbon airport Expansion of existing airports requires careful planning against a coherent roadmap. This should include a longterm vision for climate adaptation measures and realistic timescales to implement secure steps and avoid negative impact on business and routine operations. Expansion means more people and greater demand for potable water and energy. This requires data gathering and an initial strategic overview. We also need to consider factors like climate change, rising sea levels, flooding due to storms, global temperature increase affecting equipment and the internal thermal comfort within buildings. Risk of system failure can quickly escalate where aircraft movements are delayed, incoming aircraft diverted, large numbers of uncomfortable passengers and facilities failing to achieve minimum standards. This can be avoided by investment in robust resilient infrastructure that has been designed to cope with anticipated growth and future trends.

Aviation Capability Statement

We need a re-think in terms of airfield infrastructure to cope with future expansion of demand. This will result in an enhanced electrical infrastructure to readily facilitate electric vehicles for ground handling, ground power units for aircraft parking and to cope with the electric aircraft demand, power to pre-conditioned air, airfield ground lighting and HVAC within buildings. We are experienced in working with airports and aviation teams to consider their long-term aims. We actively seek to find solutions that support the delivery of change and have outlined some selected experience on the following pages. With the masterplan roadmap as a guide, positive interventions require commitment and proactive action to commence a series of infrastructure projects that will deliver long-term benefits in terms of net zero carbon.

Gatwick Airport Cooling Strategy As one of Gatwick Airport’s framework engineering consultants, we were invited to participate in a competition to provide a comprehensive study on how best to provide cooling to the airport across the North and South Terminals. Due to the scale of the project, Gatwick advised it was likely to choose two engineering consultant firms to work with. Having been selected, we were informed no other consultant would be appointed. The technical panel had been so impressed with our ideas and demonstration of our understanding of the issues and potential solutions that the vote had been unanimous. Sydney Airport We developed the Sydney Airport Sustainable Design guidelines, which set the mandatory minimum requirements for sustainable design of all new building projects at Sydney Airport. The guidelines cover the following sustainability focus areas: Climate resilience Electrification Energy and emissions Reducing waste to landfill Protecting local natural areas and biodiversity Sustainable development of the airport

When considering the relative order of costs, we proposed a gold, silver and bronze ranking system to assess the relative expenditure and benefits in terms of improved resilience and performance in terms of delivering against the sustainability agenda. One opportunity Gatwick was keen to explore was a new chilled water infrastructure. DX split units had been provided for many standalone projects over the years, with some systems abandoned. A more managed approach to the provision of cooling to tenants would help unlock a better way to deliver this. While not required for Gatwick, we are very aware of the requirements for airports in hotter climates to provide pre-conditioned air to static aircraft. Finding ways to provide this from a greening electricity grid is becoming increasingly important.

Operational resilience Operating ethically and with integrity Environmentally responsible airport Building relationships and supporting community resilience Project types include but are not limited to: Administration building Passenger terminal Retail fit outs Hangars Hotels Non-occupied (parking, utilities, storage, baggage) Support functions (control towers, fire station etc)

Aviation Capability Statement

Estate Management Plans We recently carried out a series of masterplanning assessment studies for two RAF bases and two army barracks in the UK. One particular RAF base is home to circa 7,000 personnel. Our team applied the same approach to all four sites, using three key questions to report to a number of key stakeholders on a consistent basis. The three key questions are: 1. Where are we now? 2. Where do we need to be? 3. How do we get there? 1. Where are we now? We conducted a series of site visits, cross checking the age and condition of hundreds of existing buildings, their current occupants, their role and what they required now and in the future. 2. Where do we need to be? - What will the Royal Air Force fleet look like in 2040 at the air base in question

Expansion also presents opportunities for considering a sustainability roadmap. We have done this for both our own business and for multiple global clients. This includes consideration of how the low carbon infrastructure can be developed to be both resilient and give long-term cost and carbon benefits. This approach can be applied to any airport where the objective is to expand operations. It outlines a high-level strategy against which we can apply more detailed studies to consider constraints, business continuity, opportunities to consolidate and design new future-looking facilities. Opportunities Zero carbon airport Powered by renewables (on-site & off-site) Resilient to utility outages Cost & resource efficient operations Local and sustainable materials

- What new technology needs to be accommodated

Health and wellbeing for passengers and staff

- Which existing buildings should be retained and which should be disposed of or re-purposed, etc.

Benefits

3. How do we get there?

Clear masterplan aids phasing and maintaining business continuity / operational capability

The UK Government is committed to being carbon neutral by 2050, while the RAF’s target date is 2040. This played into our strengths as a carbon neutral-certified business, and we provided strategic advice about how resilient future infrastructure could be to support this delivery.

Reduce environmental impact

Thanks to the greening of the electricity supplied by the National Grid in the UK, a number of options were available, including:

Community benefit / support

Building local photovoltaic solar farms

Green Bonds

All new hangars and buildings to have roof mounted PVs

SSL (Sustainability Linked Loans)

Phasing in the provision of new electrical infrastructure

Funding can be used for the whole development in return for meeting sustainability objectives

Deploying 5th generation (lower temperature) district heating schemes All of the above demonstrate a clear path to migrating away from fossil fuel-dependent current systems. 8

Future actions will include the phased implementation of a resilient new engineering infrastructure - this will be tracked against a known and accepted masterplan, allowing for works to be procured in advance of the target deadlines.

Aviation Capability Statement

Considerate innovation Enhancing the airport experience At the heart of every airport is the passenger experience. This is crucial not only to the airport’s brand but also in some cases to the perception of the country in which it is based, especially where the airport is a key gateway or hub. Passengers want to be kept informed and to relax and enjoy the experience. Their needs can differ depending on whether they are VIP, business or leisure customer. If departing passengers are relaxed, they will tend to spend more money at the airport. Arriving passengers’ behaviour will be more focused on bag collection, clearing security and finding their way to their next means of transport (rail, road, air, river, sea, etc).

Big data and need to know data Switching to digital radio, allowing for global communication Developing digital air traffic control towers with HD cameras to remote viewing. This can then help with workers shift patterns, illness mitigation etc. Voice-activated AI MEP Solutions for baggage handling systems Combined ventilation and smoke exhaust system provided for all levels of the baggage handling facility

Income from car parking charges can represent up to 20% of an airport’s budget - forward planning to design car parks that can be re-purposed for the arrival of autonomous vehicles should also be considered in the near future.

Natural ventilation via roof ventilators

We are seeing innovative uses of tried and tested technology to add to the positive experience. Some of the potential options offered to passengers and staff include:

Plant placement for services and maintenance requirement critical

Airports offering apps where passengers are given access to layers of real time information. This keeps them updated while the airport benefits from more predictable behaviour

Essential and non-essential supply to be provided

Passenger behaviour can differ: if they are departing from the airport and see their time there as the start of their holiday; if they are spending time with their family and are using the airport as a rendezvous / dining location or if they are a businessperson in need of a speedy and efficient process for reaching their departure gate Augmented reality, passenger experience and retail / dining opportunities, etc. The installation of an array of small beacons provides more accurate positioning to enable this

Spot cooling or bag handling operators Air conditioning and ventilation in all ancillary rooms Comms rooms are provided with ac and ventilation

Electrical infrastructure to be coordinated as baggage handling systems require significant power demand

Coordination of HV / LV and BHS control centre panels crucial for cost effective solutions Baggage Stacking system to be provide with fire protection to comply with FM Global DS 8-34 Energy production and distribution strategies vs Saving space and NZC alignment Centralisation of chillers and cooling towers and district cooling (services tunnels/galleries) High efficiency chilled water system including inverter driven chillers and cooling towers

Learning from other sectors

Residential: Thermal comfort

We operate as a single global team, and our sector leads regularly share knowledge to drive continual improvement. We have identified some recent project initiatives in other sectors that we feel could be applied effectively to an airport or aviation environment.

A key criterion for our residential projects is prediction of comfort in terms of air and radiant temperatures, air velocity, PMV, solar heat gain, etc. For example, at our One Hyde Park project in London, UK, we optimised the selection of the air curtain by the main entrance and confirmed the distribution of the fan coil units and perimeter trench heaters to ensure comfort by the entrances, around the reception desk.

Defence estate masterplanning We have found that by working with the client to understand forward requirements for fleet and operational capability we have been able to formulate phased projects to enhance site infrastructure towards a net zero carbon outcome. We have developed a roadmap towards net zero carbon in parallel with a holistic view for the long-term masterplan that allows projects to be set in place and deliver against the desired outcomes. Consideration of living, training, working areas. Buildings are designed in line with PassivHaus principles with a fabric first approach and a focus on energy recovery. We have conducted a series of specialist studies to avoid overheating and enable the implementation of our Embodied Carbon Calculation tool, which Cundall helped develop for CIC in Hong Kong.

Aviation Capability Statement

Healthcare: Risk of draught A healthcare environment has an inherent risk of draught from openings to the outside, infiltration or large glazed areas. We use computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to quantify the risk from and benefit of remedial actions, such as air curtains, trench heating or screens and in the lobby. At our Ulster Hospital project in Northern Ireland, the CFD study helped assess the selection and optimised the design of local air distribution and heating / cooling systems. The study focused on the comfort level (temperature and air velocity) directly above the bed as a result of the applied ventilation strategy.

Education: Natural ventilation We are leading the way in zero carbon design for education buildings - natural ventilation is a key part of this. We use CFD to investigate buoyancy and wind driven flows through buildings and resulting comfort levels to confirm the suitability of natural ventilation for specific spaces. At our Notre Dame Catholic College project in the UK, we looked at comfort indicators such as a 3D spread of the PMV (above), air change rate, air velocity, air and radiant temperature, and the efficiency of fresh air supply and suitability of the space to accommodate a specific number of people against the thermal comfort level.

Rail stations: Smoke venting / moisture and contaminants dispersion We have already applied the approach described here to underground car parks, train stations, plant spaces and locations where a building’s air intakes are sensitive to contamination. At our Lusail Light Rail Transit project, we used CFD analysis to assess and rule out the risk of recirculation of the boiler and generators flues into the fresh air intake. The analysis included a typical and worstcase wind scenario.

Data centres and critical systems: Cooling efficiency Our class-leading critical systems team has developed a suite of specialised analysis tools that assess cooling efficiency, air distribution, uniformity hot spots and contaminant dispersions from the external cooling units. On a recent project in Newcastle, UK we used the simulations for two separate purposes: one to ensure the cooling arrived at the servers and that hot spots were not present, and the other to prevent short circuiting of the external plant and heat rejection.

Aviation Capability Statement

Climate change adaptation We are pleased to a offer climate change adaptation service as an integral part of our offering. This is directly linked to the research and development we are conducting to understand the impact of rising temperatures on specific parts of the planet and how we can help clients protect assets or design for proven scenarios. As we cannot predict the future, the majority of climate modelling is based on a standardised set of scenarios. We are now taking this a step further with our own R&D. Based on this research, we can identify climate risks and opportunities and develop specific project resilience and adaptation plans. We can also assess the financial risk associated with direct and indirect climate risks and engage with all stakeholders.

Carbon Assessment Tool If our treatment of embodied carbon doesn’t change, we believe that it could account for 90% of the carbon released from newly constructed buildings between 2020 and 2050. We have designed a tool that allows our clients and project teams to easily track the carbon footprint of their project so that reporting and responsibility is visible and clear for all to see. This allows our teams to understand the embodied carbon contained in construction materials and the carbon emission resulting from the on-site construction process. It provides the opportunity to increase both sustainability and performance and also the efficiency of the construction project.

Aviation Capability Statement

Designing for dark skies Light pollution is wasted energy, it impacts on wildlife and human health Light pollution in the form of sky glow can impact areas up to 60 miles away Designing for dark skies is about taking the time and care to select and position the lighting to only emit down The façade lighting will present the architecture but will not emit light into the night sky For the Red Sea Project in Saudi Arabia, we have written the dark sky design guide for the airport, all 27 hotels, sports pitches, houses, roads and landscaping. Our role now is to review every asset at each design stage to ensure compliance. In all areas of our work we focus on maximising customer experience while minimising impact on the environment including the night sky. Through careful detailing, selection of luminaires, a focus on the installation accuracy and the controls commissioning, we deliver the visual impact the client needs for their building or project, while delivering zero light pollution into the night sky.

STTS Widebody Aircraft Facility Dubai South, UAE

The project is located in the Dubai South (DS) General Aviation Area, which is dedicated to Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul hangars (MROs) and Fixed Base Operations hangars (FBOs). It is directly connected to Al Maktoum International Airport (AAIA), through existing aprons and taxiways. We was responsible for the design of the electrical, mechanical, HVAC, plumbing and firefighting services for a fully air-conditioned paint hangar suitable for painting an Airbus 380. We met with DS authorities to apply for and receive all the design NOC’s for the services installations such as power, cooling, civil defense, drainage, water and telecoms. We developed a model of the hangar and aircraft types to simulate the air movement across aircraft surfaces during the painting process.

Aviation Capability Statement

The process of CFD analysis was used to assess air movement within the hangar with respect to velocity and temperature. The air velocity at the surface of the aircraft needs to be limited to ensure it does not affect the application of the paint. We undertook further thermal analysis of the hangar to estimate the cooling load that would be anticipated during the various phases of the aircraft sanding and painting process. We were then able to advise the client on the optimum capacity for contract purposes. The utility companies charge customers for providing capacity from their networks.

British Airways Waterside Cundall was selected as part of the briefing and design management team and helped introduce new ways of working to enhance effectiveness at British Airways HQ building - Waterside We developed flexible lighting and air conditioning solutions designed to enhance the quality of the office environment. The systems delivered drastically reduced office move/churn costs. This together with flexible communication, cordless telephones and wireless LAN created a state of the art building when it opened in 1998. Hot desks, shared meeting spaces, office layouts were designed to maximize natural light and retain the views out to the landscape. Since first occupation BA has invited Cundall back on many occasions as their user departments and space requirements have developed and changed. This included the doubling of the occupancy, originally 2400 through intelligent use of the original far sighted design principles and solutions. We were also entrusted with the adaptation to relocate BA Ops Control into Waterside and most recently their new Recruitment Centre. We were able to draw upon on our detailed knowledge of how to get the best out of the original design from our partners who were the original designers of the building and subsequent fit-outs.

Aviation security Aviation has been a target for attacks for many decades. Attacks have included airside attacks on aircraft such as the 9/11 attacks in the United States and the Lockerbie bombing in Dunblane, Scotland and landside attacks on terminal buildings such as the one at Brussels airport in 2016. Landside areas are usually crowded and highly vulnerable to terrorist attacks. In recent years, terrorists have favoured attacking crowded places as they are soft targets with little or no protective security measures. A variety of threats that could pose risks to the aviation sector include but are not limited to: Hijacking Person Borne Improvised Explosives Devices (PBIEDs) Placed improvised explosive devices Marauding firearms or weapons terrorist attacks Using vehicles as a weapon attack Insider threats Long range weapons attacks

Aviation Capability Statement

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) Protestor or activist actions The key to effective mitigation is timely planning and implementation of risk-based and proportionate, costeffective measures using a holistic security approach. Our in-house security team provide a range of advice, guidance, specialist assessment and design services to enable compliance with the guidance issued by the Department for Transport Aviation Security in Airport Development (ASIAD). Security Risk Assessment (SRA) Using our comprehensive and auditable SRA process, we can help you understand the threats, vulnerabilities and risks associated with possible incidents.

Blast assessment and design If an explosives attack is deemed to be a credible threat by the SRA, our consultants can undertake blast assessments to determine the vulnerabilities of facilities to structural damage and secondary fragmentation hazards. They can also provide advice and guidance on developing appropriate blast mitigation solutions. Hostile vehicle mitigation We can carry out an assessment of the site to determine vulnerabilities to vehicle attack and impact speeds via a Vehicle Dynamics Assessment (VDAs). Using this information, we can develop appropriate Hostile Vehicle Mitigation (HVM) strategies as well as provide advice and guidance on the specification of suitable impact-rated Vehicle Security Barrier (VSB) systems Security strategy We also work with in-house security teams to develop a holistic security strategy. This defines the role of planning, architectural and landscape designs, physical, electronic, people and procedural security controls to mitigate identified security risks and the physical or operational constraints of each individual site. Physical security design Physical security design can incorporate a wide range of elements from airside perimeter fencing and monitoring, through to vehicle security barriers to ensure that passenger and service vehicles are able to securely and safely move around the site. We can also advise on and assess the potential blast impact of terminal buildings. We work with our civil and structural teams to advise on design and selection of materials to ensure physically secure terminals and support buildings, thereby protecting critical assets (and the people within them). Electronic security design Electronic security systems can form part of an effective security strategy, ranging from:

Access control systems: these are critical in protecting physical access to restricted landside and airside areas as well as blocking access when security clearances or training have expired. These measures can be supported by intrusion detection systems to detect people attempting to gain unauthorised access Intelligent video surveillance systems: incorporating facial recognition and content analytics in these systems can assist security staff in identifying unusual behaviour or hostile reconnaissance. They can also provide visual evidence of theft or tampering with security or safety systems We have a dedicated security systems design team with bespoke digital engineering capabilities who can assist with the design of complex, integrated electronic security solutions to support physical and procedural controls. Personnel vetting Security vetting and regular monitoring of staff is an essential part of the recruitment process. Third-party contractors and service providers working in and around the airport must also be included in this strategy. In addition, airport security staff are responsible for enforcing policies and associated legislative requirements and must be given the correct equipment and regular training in safety, security and situational awareness. We offer an airport personnel screening service which can provide advice and guidance on obtaining airport clearance and managing the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) or Disclosure Scotland personnel background check process. We also have extensive experience in working within the clearance processes of several major international airports. Procedures We can assist with the assessment of security frameworks, policies, command and control structures and emergency response plans to enable fast and effective return to business as usual operation with minimal disruption to passengers, airlines and associated support services.

British Airways Lounge, Gatwick Boeing, Crawley Services provided on these projects include: Environmental noise modelling and monitoring Design of external building fabric Noise attenuation Design of internal sound insulation (walls and floors) Specification of internal finishes (including by 3D computer modelling) Design of public address/voice alarm systems Key to our acoustic offering is the Virtual Acoustic Reality system developed by our acoustics team, a tool that puts engineering decisions in the hands of the client. Clients can actually hear what a space will sound like before it is built. They can then understand why they might need to invest in acoustic treatments whilst a project is still at the design stage. In our experience, better client interaction means optimal building designs.

Microsimulation Our microsimulation tool allows us to assess and predict pedestrian and vehicular flows so that we can work with the client and design team to improve spatial planning, thereby achieving optimal comfort and build efficiency. It works with any geometry, including heavily congested conditions and can assess crowd flow management and impact on public transport. The tool’s predictions can then be merged with our other developed models to provide enhanced visualisations. Our microsimulation tool can be used on vehicles, public transport, interaction, multi-modal systems, traffic management and autonomous vehicles. We are able to show the client how their development will function. With pedestrian simulation, we can simulate people walking every step and how they interact with each other and with crowds. We can look at density and dwell times, queue performance and transaction times. This can then link to our assessment of overall space comfort with thermal and ventilation model analysis, etc.

BIM & Digital Delivery

We have a digital in-house development team who are focused on the creation of tools & plug-ins to further enhance our digital practices.

Cundall protocols and procedures are aligned to ISO19650 for all projects where possible.

As an example, our newly developed ‘Document Manager’ tool can simplify the document creation process by automatically populating document numbers, names and other properties (using either our standard ISO 19650 naming system or custom project naming conventions). This automatic property population, combined with sorting, filtering and bulk editing tools, have greatly simplified document management. The software can also be linked with a Revit project to ensure that Revit sheets are always kept up to date with correct numbering, titles and other properties. Emerging technologies

We understand that ISO19650 and BIM are all about individuals working together - the performance of a team can be impacted if people don’t know their role. To enable our global teams across Cundall to work together to manage information effectively, we have enrolled all our business leaders in the ‘Information Management Practitioner’ certification through the Operam Academy, thereby ensuring all our leaders have the capability and capacity needed to deliver successful projects. Earners of Operam Academy’s Information Management Practitioner certification have the fundamental understanding of ‘BIM according to ISO 19650’.

In collaboration with Loughborough University, we are currently developing an AI system that can generate ‘Building Emissions Rates’ (BER’s) for non-domestic buildings with as few as 27 variables in less than a second and with little loss in accuracy, making it a much faster and efficient process. This uses a ‘decision tree-based ensemble’ machine algorithm, built and validated using 81,137 real data records that contain information for non-domestic buildings over the whole of England from 2010 to 2019. The data includes elements such as building capacity, location, heating, cooling lighting, and activity. The system will be further developed, building on techniques to predict real operational energy consumption.
