RSP have gained a very strong reputation for providing accurate energy usage information for our clients, by definable analysing their energy systems and developing appropriate ways of re-engineering and enhancing the installed systems to provide improved energy performance and reduce the carbon foot print of the building.
In order to substantiate our impact in the use of energy reduction success we have developed a model of 'mission critical' building design that provides a resilient and robust design solution. In addition it provides a level of energy and carbon control that is well above the industry bench marks and has been assessed and proven to be unsurpassed by other similar projects.
RSP have developed this background of energy efficient design and sound environmentally sustainable design by being aware of and incorporating renewable energy technologies, where appropriate, such as bio-mass boilers, rain water recovery, solar thermal, solar pv, micro and medium wind power and ground source heat pumps into the building design solutions.
In order to continue and enhance our standing as one of Scotland's leading energy and environmentally aware building services practitioners we are working with our local universities in the design and application of fuel cell technology for suitable installation opportunities. To continue developing our engineering staff in practising environmentally friendly design we encouraging them, as part of their academic education, to include these sciences and principles which allows the spread of environmental nowledge within the practice and supports our ability to assist our clients. This is further assisted by our continued registration as CIBSE Low Carbon Consultants, BREEAM Assessors and ECO Homes Assessors.
