The Greater London Authority has set out sustainability targets for developments within ‘The London Plan’.

Proposed commercial and residential developments located within the London Boroughs have to achieve significant reductions in CO2 emissions by following the ‘Be Lean, Be Clean, Be Green’ Energy Hierarchy.

If targets are not hit remaining carbon emissions may be  offset through a cash in lieu contribution per tonne of CO2 – so it is vital to get these calculated as accurately as possible by experienced Energy Assessors.

As part of a planning application within London, a detailed London Plan Energy Assessment is required to be undertaken and submitted, and MEES Solutions are highly experienced in all aspects of this, from the Non-Domestic and Domestic energy modelling at all levels of the Energy Hierarchy to TM52 and TM59 overheating assessments.
