UK Building Overheating Assessments Using CIBSE TM52 & TM59 Standards
Southern Assessors delivers comprehensive overheating assessments for UK residential and commercial buildings using CIBSE TM52 and TM59 methodologies alongside simplified calculation techniques. The service examines how buildings perform under elevated summer temperatures by evaluating key factors such as solar gain, ventilation effectiveness, building orientation, insulation levels, glazing design, and internal heat loads. These studies help identify potential overheating risks early in the design process, ensuring compliance with UK building regulations and supporting occupant comfort. The results provide valuable insights for architects and developers to optimise design strategies, enhance natural and mechanical ventilation, and improve overall energy efficiency and indoor environmental quality.
