Tutorial 2 Downloadable Content
If you’ve ever struggled to bring an architectural Revit model, especially one loaded with curtain walling, cleanly into the IES Virtual Environment, you’re not alone. Tutorial 02 walks you through the exact workflow we use at CEC to take a design‑stage model and prepare it for reliable thermal and compliance analysis. Whether you’re an architect, an MEP engineer, or simply looking to refine your modelling process, this tutorial offers a clearer, more dependable route from Revit to IES.

Tutorial 4 Downloadable Content
If you’ve ever questioned what actually counts as regulated or unregulated energy in a Part L assessment, or why certain systems appear in BRUKL and EPC outputs while others don’t, you’re not alone. Tutorial 04 focuses on one of the most common sources of confusion in Part L compliance and provides clear, practical guidance.
Using a full hotel model as the example, the tutorial breaks down how energy is defined within the compliance boundary, what constitutes a fixed building service, and how different systems and loads should be represented in IESVE. It also addresses common issues such as system classification, ventilation modelling, and avoiding DHW double‑counting.
Whether you’re working on Part L assessments, EPCs, BRUKLs, or day‑to‑day IESVE modelling, this tutorial provides a clearer and more reliable approach to handling regulated and unregulated energy with confidence.
Creative Energy Consulting Ltd Service Brochure
A few weeks ago Creative Energy launched its 5C's to Net Zero, we hope you found our infographic informative and useful. Released today, our service brochure will give you valuable insight on the services we offer, how to achieve net zero and how we can provide due diligence and value engineering to your projects.
During the construction stage we can interrogate your stage 4 tender design and prior to a single brick being laid we can offer you data driven decision making based on cost efficient design trade-offs maximising construction cost savings. We all like to save money!
The extract below is taken form our service brochure and shows how we can influence your design while maintaining all regulatory and environmental targets.
We hope you find this useful and if you would like a copy of our brochure please download using the link below.
Net Zero Infographic
Net Zero is a ground breaking concept that aims to create a sustainable future by balancing energy consumption and renewable energy generation. It involves reducing energy demand, optimising efficiency, and utilising renewable energy sources to achieve a net-zero carbon footprint.
Achieving net-zero is a complicated process due to several interrelated factors and challenges. Here are some of the key issues: Energy Demand and Diversity, Complex Energy Systems, Existing Building Stock, Cost and Financing, Policy and Regulation, Behaviour and Occupant Engagement and Monitoring and Verification
Overcoming these challenges requires collaboration among stakeholders, continuous technological advancements, supportive policies, and public awareness and engagement. Net-zero is a complex process that demands an integrated approach and comprehensive strategies across multiple domains to achieve sustainable and resilient energy systems.
To help you navigate through this complex process Creative Energy launches its 5 Cs to Net Zero status. We hope you find our infographic useful and if this is something you would like to discuss further please don’t hesitate to reach out.
