Sustainable, low energy design is a fundamental cornerstone to all our work at Stickland Wright. We have invested in the training and software development needed to offer expert design and analysis services to improve the energy efficiency and reduce the carbon footprint of buildings and their interior environments. Whether you are seeking ways to develop an energy efficient new build or reduce the energy consumption of your existing building, we can help you.
Low energy design is fundamental in the pursuit of a more environmentally conscious and resilient future. By integrating innovative and eco-friendly practices into architectural planning, construction, and operation, we can minimise the environmental impact of buildings and contribute to the overall well-being of our planet.

Our low energy consultancy and our LEAF services support our skilled designers, by offering more specialised technical insight into low-energy solutions. Our holistic view aids the creation of a bespoke roadmap, tailored to your project, so that you can truly embrace your low energy alternate future.
At each project stage, we use specialist training and tools to identify optimal solutions which match your climate or carbon objectives. These strategies can underpin the technical design of your project. For businesses, our strategies can be adopted as clear demonstration of your ESG compliance.
New Build
We work with our clients to achieve their sustainable architecture goals and aspirations when creating new buildings as well as designing to regulatory standards. As a team we endeavour to provide sustainable projects and this forms part of our design process. Sustainability within design starts at feasibility and concept stage where we can help re evaluate your design brief and provide efficient use of spaces. When we progress to developed and technical design this involves creating warm, comfortable, healthy low energy buildings using renewable energy and conserving resources. By doing this, we not only help the planet but also save clients’ money in the long run.
When designing new build properties, we use our in-house expertise to take a holistic approach to building fabric, airtightness, and thermal comfort. We work alongside expert consultants with regards to mechanical and electrical engineering to provide heating, lighting, and ventilation strategies suitable for your project.
Interiors
At Stickland Wright, sustainable interior design focuses on creating spaces that are environmentally friendly and socially responsible. We also help you get the most from your existing spaces, without the need for potentially wasteful building extension. Our design process involves using eco-friendly materials, maximising energy efficiency, and promoting a healthy indoor environment. Working with our architecture team the very fabric of the building can help your interiors to ‘breathe’.
Sustainable interior design also considers factors like waste reduction, recycling, and the overall impact on the well-being of occupants. By incorporating these principles, sustainable interior design contributes to a more resilient and environmentally conscious approach to creating aesthetically pleasing and functional spaces.
Retrofit Design (Existing Buildings)
Retrofit design involves upgrading the fabric of an existing building making it more comfortable, cheaper to run and more environmentally friendly. Retrofit makes a building more thermally efficient and demands. It’s also about using renewable technologies to reduce your carbon footprint. By retrofitting, we can enhance the sustainability of existing buildings, making them more resilient to future climate threats and align with national carbon reduction targets, needed to achieve net zero emissions.
