Modelling
Here at Kinetic Engineers, our experienced engineers are trained to utilise a wide range of CAD and design programmes to model and simulate projects accurately. We provide a range of M&E related modelling services;
- Thermal Modelling
- Internal/External Lighting Calculations
- Cable Sizing
- Pipe/Duct Sizing
- TM52 / TM59 Overheating analysis
- SBEM and BRUKL Reports
- Energy Performance Certificates
- 3D Modelling
- 2D Modelling / CAD Services
- Passive House Design
We are committed to using 3D modelling and Building Information Modelling (BIM). We understand the importance of generating a fully collaborative working model and are co-operative throughout the entire design period.
Our knowledge of services and our strong technical background allows us to work around potential clashes at the design stage. We have invested heavily in staff training and workshops to ensure seamless integration with our collaborative partners. We are active and helpful throughout the project, we understand that sometimes routes have to change and the model can be ever changing for value engineering.
Thermal Modelling
We have access to numerous thermal modelling programmes; with our strong technical background and experience on various projects we can provide accurate thermal models at quick turnaround rates.
TM52
Kinetic Engineers use IES VE to produce TM52 overheating reports for non-domestic buildings before construction begins. This allows us to provide clients with recommendations for reducing the overheating risk in non-domestic buildings.
TM59
In addition to TM52 reports, we can also perform TM59 analysis for domestic properties. This simulation is now required by the GLA guidance to show that London homes will not overheat.
EPC / SBEM
Our Level 5 accredited Low Carbon Energy Assessors are trained to produce Energy Performance Certificates and BRUKL reports. We will develop the design alongside the SBEM so that the project can have the most sensible selection of equipment. By having in house engineers we can rerun the simulation as many times as required to provide the client with the cheapest and most effective solution.
CAD
The industry leading Autodesk AutoCAD software allows us to produce detailed, accurate models of building services as well as producing the related schematics.
Revit
Autodesk Revit allows our consultants to accurately model our designs within the architectural framework of the building, providing a collaborative workflow platform between the team.
Bentley Hevacomp
A multi purpose programme, Hevacomp is used by both our mechanical and electrical teams for a wide range of calculations ranging from pipework size to cable size.
BIM
We are committed to using 3D modelling and Building Information Modelling (BIM) in all of our larger projects. We understand the importance of generating a fully collaborative working model and are co-operative throughout the entire design period. Our knowledge of services and our strong technical background allows us to work around potential clashes at the design stage. We have invested heavily in staff training and workshops to ensure seamless integration with our collaborative partners.
Lighting Calculations
Our experienced electrical engineers can provide detailed calculations on internal and external lighting schemes. Our calculations are not only accurate but we will also give advice on what fittings are better suited to provide the required lux levels in that particular area.
Passivhaus (Passive House)
Passive House designs are characterised by their low heating requirement, high levels of thermal efficiency and high levels of detailed design input. Our internal designers can provide the required information to determine whether or not the proposed project would achieve one of the three passive house standards. Our in depth knowledge of services allows us to provide a more viable M&E solution than most architectural designers.
