Our Services

Six specialist services covering the full energy compliance and building safety lifecycle — all delivered personally by a qualified assessor.

🔍
⭐ Core specialism — Level 2 UKTA Certified

Thermographic Surveys

Infrared thermal imaging surveys identifying heat loss, insulation gaps, moisture ingress, air leakage and thermal bridging. All reports comply with BS EN 13187 and are accepted for BREEAM MAN 04 credits, Part L compliance, and PAS 2035 retrofit assessments. As a UKTA Level 2 certified assessor, GTD satisfies requirements that Level 1 thermographers cannot meet.

SAP & HEM Calculations

GTD Energy Compliance provides both SAP (Standard Assessment Procedure) and HEM (Home Energy Model) calculations for new dwellings, supporting compliance with Part L 2021 and the Future Homes Standard (Part L 2026). The Future Homes Standard requires a significant uplift in fabric performance and low-carbon heating — HEM replaces SAP as the primary compliance tool for new homes built to these requirements. GTD supports architects, developers and self-builders through design-stage calculations, as-built compliance, planning submissions, Building Control sign-off and EPC production. Fast turnaround to keep your project on schedule.

Thermographic Surveys

Non-invasive infrared thermal imaging for buildings — identifying heat loss, insulation defects, air leakage and moisture before they become costly problems.

What is it?

See what the naked eye cannot

A thermographic survey uses a specialist infrared camera to measure surface temperatures across a building's fabric. Variations in temperature reveal exactly where heat is escaping, where insulation has failed, where moisture has penetrated, and where air is leaking through the structure.

Unlike visual inspections, thermography provides objective, photographic evidence that is accepted by Building Control, BREEAM assessors, and retrofit coordinators. It is non-invasive and does not damage the building fabric.

As a UKTA Level 2 certified thermographer, GTD Energy Compliance produces reports compliant with BS EN 13187 and accepted for BREEAM MAN 04 assessment credits, Part L compliance, and PAS 2035 retrofit assessments. All surveys are accompanied by U-value calculations for fabric improvement where required.

Why Level 2 matters

BREEAM's technical manual (SD5076) requires thermographic surveys for assessment credits to be completed by a UKTA-approved Level 2 thermographic surveyor, certified to ISO 18436-7:2008. Level 1 qualifications are not sufficient for BREEAM credit purposes.

GTD Energy Compliance holds a UKTA Level 2 certification — accepted by BREEAM assessors, retrofit coordinators, and housing associations who need compliant reports that will stand scrutiny.

What we detect

What a thermographic survey reveals

❄️

Insulation defects

Missing, damaged or incorrectly installed insulation in walls, roofs and floors — including cavity wall fill voids invisible from inside. U-value calculations produced for identified areas.

🌬️

Air leakage

Unintended gaps in the building envelope where conditioned air escapes — a major cause of energy waste and condensation risk, particularly around junctions and service penetrations.

💧

Moisture ingress

Water penetration and areas at risk of condensation, damp or mould — often symptomless until structural damage has occurred. Part C condensation risk can be assessed alongside.

🔗

Thermal bridging

Structural elements conducting heat through the fabric — a common cause of cold spots and Psi value failures. U-value calculations provided for remediation planning.

🪟

Window & door failures

Seal failures, draughts and framing cold bridges around glazed units — linked directly to glazing calculation compliance where relevant.

🏠

Flat roof defects

Wet insulation, delamination and ponding water in flat roofs, clearly visible in thermal imaging but invisible from ground level or visual inspection alone.

The Future Homes Standard 2026–2028: Timeline, Technical Impacts & What It Means for Developers

The Future Homes Standard (FHS) represents the most significant change to new-build energy regulations in a generation. Here is what every developer, architect and energy assessor needs to know — including the key dates, technical requirements, and how GTD Energy Compliance can help you stay ahead.

📅 FHS 2026–2028 Implementation Timeline

24 March 2026
Final Approved Documents L and F were published by the government, establishing firm rules for new-build designs.
24 March 2027 ⭐
The FHS officially comes into force across England. New building control applications must fully comply with the updated standards. This is the critical deadline for all new projects.
24 Sept 2027
Higher-Risk Building (HRB) provisions take effect for multi-storey residential blocks.
24 March 2028
The 12-month transitional grace period officially ends for older projects that began under previous Part L 2021 rules.

⚡ Key Technical Impacts of the Standard

☀️
Renewable Energy

Solar PV installations become functionally mandatory, requiring generation capacity equivalent to 40% of the ground floor area.

🔥
Heating Restrictions

Fossil-fuel systems (gas, oil and LPG boilers) are effectively barred by carbon reduction targets, making air source heat pumps the default choice.

🧱
Fabric Efficiency

Wall insulation standards and air permeability thresholds are tightened significantly, necessitating mechanical ventilation (MVHR) to maintain air quality.

How GTD can help

GTD Energy Compliance provides both SAP (Part L 2021) and HEM (Home Energy Model) calculations for the Future Homes Standard — helping developers plan ahead and ensure every new-build scheme is compliant from day one.
