Part O Overheating Calculations aim to mitigate the growing threat of overheating faced by dwellings in the United Kingdom – a growing concern due to the effects of climate change. This issue has profound implications for the well-being and health of inhabitants.
Taking affect in June 2022, Part O of the Building Regulations requires assessments to limit solar gain and ensure efficient heat removal from indoor environments. This protects occupant well being and reduces energy consumption. Approved document Part O 2021 mandates that rooms in a dwelling are evaluated in isolation instead of the previously used dwelling average.
Anyone building a house, planning an extension, or converting their home needs to check both the design and materials used aren’t going to cause energy efficiency problems for the property.
We offer both the simplified method and dynamic thermal modelling overheating assessment services. Find more detail on both assessment types here.

Why work with us?
Experience
Our sustainability consultants have extensive experience in meeting regulatory requirements, yet work hard to go beyond mere compliance with the building regulations.
We pride ourselves on delivering decarbonisation advice to help our clients build lower carbon, energy-efficient properties.
Quality
We reduce the amount of assumed data in each calculation to the bare minimum, meaning that our overglazing calculations are as accurate as possible.
Conversations with clients are key to this process and our work improves each time we work on a new project, thanks to the collaborative approach we adopt with our clients.
Speed
Our office-based staff work hard to book all appointments as quickly as the delivery schedule allows.
We work on a two-week schedule, with the vast majority of overheating calculations being delivered well within that window.
Pricing
Our rate card prices for all services are reviewed regularly, so we’re confident that you won’t find a better service for a better price anywhere else. If you think you’ve found one, we’ll either beat or match it.
Support
Navigating the complexity of energy efficiency, decarbonisation, and building regulation updates isn’t easy.
We’ve worked hard to explain a range of topics related to Part O overheating in plain English to help non-experts get the information they need.

We offer two overheating assessment services to fit your needs:
Simplified Method
This overheating calculations method provides an initial assessment of overheating risk. It’s ideal for straightforward projects and helps identify potential issues early on, helping you to comply with Part O.
Dynamic Thermal Modelling
For complex projects, those requiring a more in-depth analysis and projects which have failed simplified overheating calculations, we recommend TM59 assessments. This advanced dynamic thermal modelling method provides a comprehensive evaluation of overheating risk using sophisticated software simulations.
