Your building sustainability experts…
Building Performance
Are you a builder, developer or asset manager?
Do you want or need to know how eco-friendly your building is?
Using scientific apparatus, our building sustainability experts capture, analyse and interpret data measured in your existing building. As a result, we find out information on Life Cycle Assessment and energy performance of new buildings and of older ones being retrofitted.
SUSTAINABLE DESIGN
Are you an architect, surveyor, or planning your own build?
Do you want guidance and calculations to make sure you build to the latest regulations while keeping the planet happy?
We run desktop studies that evaluate the performance of the whole building, for part or the entirety of its life. We focus on material and technology specifications and energy efficiency; heat, power and water consumption. This We help you design the buildings that are best for the planet and the purse.

A FEW WORDS
WE DELIVER!
I carried out a project with BRS to derive international cooperation strategies in the sector of improving energy efficiency of residential buildings. Thanks to the outstanding abilities and passion of BRS researchers, we were able to finish the project well.
I was worried at first because I had to carry out the project only by e-mail or video conferencing because of the coronavirus, but the project results were very satisfactory. In the whole process, BRS did its best and never broke its promise.
If I have a chance, I would like to do another research project with BRS next time. I believe that BRS will develop more in the future.
Minkyu Kim | Researcher | Korea Energy Economics Institute
BRS carried out a Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) for the NearHome project. The team produced a highly detailed report and were a key part of the delivery team, contributing to the entire scope of the project. The LCA was a complex piece of work which was carried out on time and on budget.
Lynsey Bryson | Head of Digital Programmes | Built Environment – Sustainable Transition
We collaborated with BRS to explore the potential of converting the energy consumed by businesses in the Scottish Islands from thermal fossil fuels to blue and green hydrogen. BRS delivered excellent insights, which encompassed a comprehensive range of variables, clearly identifying the operational and whole life carbon reduction opportunities per building and for such innovative applications. It was a pleasure to work with BRS on such an innovative project.
