Intelligent Design that Delivers Performance and Efficiency

At the heart of Luths’ offering is a robust design service tailored to create buildings that are energy-efficient, user-friendly, and ready for the demands of net-zero living.

Their MEP design expertise includes:

• Electrical engineering – Lux level calculations, lighting control systems, power distribution, and visual comfort optimisation.

• Mechanical systems – Energy-efficient HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) designs built for comfort and control.

• Plumbing layouts – Sustainable, low-consumption systems to reduce water use and minimise lifecycle costs.

• MVHR design – Detailed mechanical ventilation with heat recovery systems, enhancing indoor air quality while maintaining thermal efficiency.

• Utility coordination – Managing water and electrical supply connections, with case studies showcasing success in social housing and community projects.

• Daylight design – Modelling natural and artificial lighting to support wellbeing, productivity, and BREEAM criteria.

These design services are always tailored to the individual project, ensuring that whether it’s a school, community hub, or retrofit housing scheme, the building systems are seamless, efficient, and sustainable.

Strategic Consultancy Backed by Low-Carbon Expertise

Where Luths truly shines is in their consultancy work—delivering strategic insights and technical support across every stage of a project. Their team helps developers and organisations move from ambition to implementation with confidence.

Services include:

• Renewable energy feasibility – Evaluating and recommending technologies such as heat pumps, solar PV, and biomass boilers based on real-world data.

• Heat network planning – From feasibility to final design of communal and district heating systems.

• Condensation risk modelling – Vital for buildings targeting high-performance fabric standards such as Passivhaus.

• Whole-life carbon analysis – Full lifecycle assessments to quantify embodied and operational emissions, ensuring long-term sustainability.

• Moisture and hygrothermal analysis – Predicting condensation and mould risk in building envelopes, especially important in deep retrofits.

• Project support – Offering guidance through technical, environmental, and funding requirements including PAS 2035 compliance.

Luths consultancy services are especially valuable during early-stage planning and retrofit appraisals, where informed decisions can lead to significantly lower emissions, better comfort, and cost savings.

Certification, Testing & Building Compliance

A high-performing building is only as good as its verified outcomes. Luths ensures every project meets legal, regulatory, and environmental benchmarks through comprehensive testing and certification.

Key services include:

• SAP calculations and EPCs – Providing reliable energy performance certificates for both domestic and non-domestic buildings.

• Overheating assessments – Using advanced modelling to evaluate thermal comfort and regulatory compliance, particularly in residential developments.

• Airtightness testing – Crucial for ensuring low energy usage in new and retrofit buildings; Luths provides both initial testing and remedial advice.

• Energy audits – Tailored audits with practical, actionable insights for commercial buildings, helping organisations reduce utility costs and carbon emissions.

• PHPP modelling – For buildings targeting the Passivhaus standard, Lùths provides Passive House Planning Package support, ensuring airtight design and robust thermal performance.

This suite of testing and compliance services ensures that sustainability targets are not just aspirational, but evidenced and met in practice.
