Lincoln, Lincolnshire & East Midlands
Our Services – Energy Statements for Planning Applications
At AirMetric, we support developers, architects and planning consultants in delivering energy-efficient, policy-compliant developments. Our Energy Statements for Planning Applications are designed to demonstrate how your project meets local and national energy and carbon reduction requirements.
What is an Energy Statement?
An Energy Statement is a formal report submitted as part of a planning application. It outlines how a proposed development will reduce carbon emissions and improve energy efficiency in line with local planning policy and national guidance.
Energy Statements typically align with national policy such as the National Planning Policy Framework and local authority energy strategies, which often require developments to follow the Energy Hierarchy:
-
Be Lean – reduce energy demand through fabric efficiency
-
Be Clean – supply energy efficiently
-
Be Green – incorporate renewable energy technologies
The statement demonstrates predicted carbon emissions and details how reductions will be achieved through design measures and low-carbon technologies.
Why Choose an Energy Statement?
Planning policy compliant – meets local authority carbon and energy requirements.
Avoids delays – ensures energy strategy information is submitted correctly first time.
Clear carbon reduction pathway – demonstrates how your development improves upon Building Regulations standards.
Supports sustainable design – integrates renewables and fabric-first principles from the outset.
What We Provide:
A fully compliant Energy Statement tailored to your local authority’s planning policies.
Carbon emission calculations and comparison against Building Regulations targets.
Assessment of energy efficiency measures and low/zero carbon technologies (e.g. heat pumps, PV panels).
A clear, professionally presented report suitable for planning submission.
