K Company: Yonder Limited Address: Concordia Works, 30 Sovereign Street, Leeds LS1 4BA Phone: 0113 493 1280 Email: [email protected] Website: http://yonderconsulting.co.uk/ Engineering & Infrastructure / Yonder Limited g Mr Gill says the separation is increasing Yonder’s scope to ensure passive design is prominent in more projects, for example, thus maximising benefits for clients. He explains: “There’s no question more and more construction professionals are understanding the need to go beyond merely achieving a green image by installing renewable energy. They know credibility also now demands considering thoroughly how to reduce energy demand first.” Yonder are on the Chartered Institute of Building Service Engineers’ Low Carbon Consultants Register and are Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Method accredited professionals. Looking ahead, the firm’s plans include opening additional offices in London and the Midlands during the next 12 months. Mr Gill, however, is far from complacent. He says: “Too many architects, for example, have probably still not heard of building physics engineering, let alone the huge benefits and savings it can deliver to them, their clients and eventual building occupants. And where professionals do use specialists like us, it’s too often merely to validate decisions already taken, whereas we deliver maximum advantages when we’re involved as early as possible in the design process.”
