BaltEco Consulting Engineers is a small dynamic practice offering a broad range of engineering, energy assessment, environmental, planning, graphics and architectural design services to the residential and commercial market. Our focus is on sustainable yet practical design solutions and we pride ourselves on our personalised, result-oriented and competitive service. Our qualifications, depth of experience in the construction and energy fields and independence, optimise results. Since we are a multi-disciplinary practice we are able to provide a comprehensive package from initial feasibility studies through design, planning, construction supervision to final completion under one roof.

Building Energy Ratings

The Energy Performance in Buildings Directive will impact more buildings as the timetable for implementation rolls out through 2007 to 2009. It requires that when a building is constructed, sold or rented a Building Energy Rating (BER) detailing its energy consumption be made available to the prospective buyers or tenants. Our FETAC accredited and SEI registered Assessors offer knowledgeable advice on improving your rating during the design phase and provide provisional BER’s from plans and full BER’s once construction is complete. » more

Percolation Tests / Site Assessments

A Percolation Test or Site Assessment is required for planning permissions for all proposed new homes and some extensions which do not have access to public mains. A Percolation Test is a hydraulic analysis of your site to determine what type of waste water treatment system and percolation area is suitable to deal with your household waste. Our tests are carried out by a fully trained Chartered engineer and your report includes a detailed percolation area design. » more
