Sustainable design is embedded in everything we do as a practice, and forms one of our core values.  But sustainable design goes far beyond renewable energy and low or zero carbon technologies. It is also about embracing the Circular Economy: reducing waste and reusing what we have, rather than just dumping it and sending it off to landfill. It may seem counterintuitive to retain equipment and systems that are not as energy efficient as the...

So here we are mid-way through 2020 and who would have thought it would have turned out like this! At the usual New Year ‘look ahead’ in January, I don’t know of anyone who could have forecasted the events of the last 3 months. But it is not just COVID 19 that has grabbed the headlines, the issue of equality and diversity, or lack of, has come back into focus. Rightly so. Racism is abhorrent...

While the nation eagerly awaits the next phase announcement on Sunday, there is much activity within our industry about ‘back to work office readiness’ in the much talked about ‘new normal’. We are already looking at what this will mean with a number of clients and collaborators, but we are also interested in the personal aspect of this, not just the physical workplace changes. So, where better to start than our own team, asking what...

The Energy sector...

January always brings mixed feelings. The start of the month holds great promise - a new page turned and we are all full of new and exciting ideas and resolutions for the year ahead. But by mid-month the sheen has worn off; the resolutions are already becoming a drag and payday feels like a lifetime away. It’s safe to say that, for most of us, the January blues have well and truly kicked in. But...

Happy New Year to everyone – I hope it finds you well. The new year, and in particular a new decade, is often a time for reflection, and this is no different for us here at Energylab. We are now entering our 7th year in business, and a lot has changed for us in that time. From modest beginnings back in 2013, we are now a team of 7, with a diverse skill set and...

Any friends of ours here at Energylab who have known us for a while, will know that, as part of the lab_ collective, we don’t do Christmas parties by half. They’re far from ‘normal’ - as is probably our way with most things, now we think about it!  Of course, this Christmas was no different.
