Helping You Tackle Overheating

At NAK Design, we support clients to effectively address the growing challenge of overheating in buildings - ensuring both comfort and compliance. With Building Regulations Part O in England, it is a legal requirement to limit unwanted solar gains and provide adequate means of removing excess heat from new residential buildings.

Our team will assess overheating risks from the early design stages and to:

Develop tailored passive and active design strategies, such as shading solutions, natural ventilation layouts, window specifications, and thermal mass optimisation.

Ensure full compliance with Part O requirements, helping you meet regulatory standards without compromising on design or performance.

Provide clear, evidence-based reporting suitable for planning submissions and building control.

Net-Zero Carbon

NAK Design prioritises and advocates for sustainable design, aiming to contribute to the UK's goal of achieving net-zero carbon buildings by 2030.

Since the built environment is responsible for a significant portion of carbon emissions, the UK government is actively pursuing net-zero targets. NAK Design will stay updated on the energy performance requirements for both new and existing buildings as outlined in the 2025 Part L Building Regulations. These regulations are designed to enhance the energy efficiency of UK buildings and establish a new standard for green construction.

The 2025 update aligns with the Future Homes Standard, which requires a reduction of 75-80% in carbon emissions from homes compared to those built under the 2013 standards. At NAK Design, we encourage the adoption of smart design approaches, low-carbon technologies such as heat pumps and mechanical ventilation with heat recovery (MVHR), and the use of efficient building materials.

Whether you're working on your house, single homes or multi-unit developments, we help you create environments that are healthier, more resilient, and fully aligned with modern building regulations.

Let us help you future-proof your projects and deliver better outcomes for you.
