Business Details
Sustainable Building Services & Energy Consultancy
K J Tait are Building Services Engineers, Energy Consultants, and Facilities Engineers with offices across the UK. We deliver sustainable building design by integrating all three disciplines through every RIBA stage. Our approach starts with low-energy strategies and uses real-world feedback from buildings in operation. This ensures practical, efficient designs that reduce energy use and improve comfort. We focus on closing the performance gap so buildings work as intended. By combining design, energy, and facilities expertise, we deliver long-term value, support low-carbon goals, and create buildings that last.Collaboration is at the heart of everything we do. Our team operates as one business across our offices, ensuring consistent delivery. We are accredited to ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and ISO 45001. We are registered with Constructionline and Safe Contractor. Our staff belong to respected organisations like CIBSE, IET, and the UK Green Building Council. We specialise in BREEAM, daylighting analysis, NABERS UK ratings, and EPC assessments, helping clients achieve low-carbon, high-performance buildings.

Services
BREEAM Assessments
We provide BREEAM assessments to evaluate and certify the sustainability performance of buildings. Our experts guide clients through the assessment process, ensuring compliance with environmental standards. This service helps achieve higher sustainability ratings, reducing operational costs and enhancing building value.
Energy Auditing
Our energy auditing service identifies efficiency opportunities in existing buildings. We analyse consumption patterns and recommend improvements to meet EPC B targets. This reduces energy costs and aligns with UK net-zero regulations for commercial properties.
Thermal Modelling
Thermal modelling predicts building performance under various conditions. We use this to optimise insulation, ventilation, and heating systems. This ensures occupant comfort while minimising energy use in new and retrofit projects.
Facilities Management
Our facilities management service ensures long-term operational efficiency. We monitor systems, manage maintenance schedules, and provide feedback for design improvements. This extends building lifespan and maintains compliance with performance standards.
Net Zero Carbon Pathways
We develop tailored net-zero carbon strategies for buildings and portfolios. Our approach combines low-energy design, renewable energy integration, and carbon offsetting. This helps clients meet regulatory requirements and corporate sustainability goals.
