AECB Carbonlite Standards Certification
Expert certification services to help you unlock the benefits of rigorous quality assurance
At Waxwing Energy, we assist in certifying your project to one of the AECB’s three Carbonlite Building standards.
Building to these standards ensures not just a mark of distinction but also addresses performance gaps commonly found in buildings that only meet standard building regulations.
Our services guarantee comfort and mitigate moisture risks through meticulous quality assurance processes.
Why Choose Wax Wing Energy for Your AECB Carbonlite Standards Certification?
Approved Modellers and Certifiers: We are recognized experts in modelling and certifying buildings to the Carbonlite standards, requiring a detailed PHPP model with additional inputs and checks.
Experience and Expertise: Benefit from our extensive knowledge and experience in achieving high-performance building standards.
The Carbonlite New Build Standard
Designed as a more accessible alternative to the Passivhaus standard, this certification offers achievable targets for space heat demand and airtightness, ensuring high performance with greater feasibility.
The Carbonlite Retrofit Standard
A more attainable option than the Enerphit standard, this certification still demands significant fabric and airtightness measures, making it a robust low-energy retrofit standard. CLR projects typically involve deep retrofits with wall and floor insulation, MVHR, and triple glazing.
Step One to CLR
A pioneering standard aimed at facilitating the transition to heat pumps, Step 1 to CLR sets minimal fabric requirements but mandates the installation of a heat pump, whole-house ventilation, and a plan to achieve full CLR. This standard ensures the correct sizing and specification of heat pumps, addressing common issues of high running costs and poor comfort associated with improper installations.
Integrated Air Pressure Testing
Waxwing Energy also offers air pressure testing packages that complement the modelling and certification stages, ensuring comprehensive support throughout your project.
