Energy Compliance Solutions For Architects & Consultants
Compliance and renewable energy expertise that ensures your designs perform as intended through to handover.
For Architects & Consultants
Architects and consultants spend significant time getting energy strategies right at design stage - specifying the right systems, hitting Part L and EPC targets, and satisfying planning requirements. Too often, that work is undermined at installation stage by contractors who don't build to spec, use substituted components, or leave compliance gaps that only surface at handover.
The result is a frustrated developer, a difficult handover, and a project that reflects poorly on everyone involved.
Flint Energy exists to close that gap. We combine deep compliance testing expertise with certified installation capability - so the system that gets built matches what was designed, the numbers stack up, and your client gets the outcome you promised them at planning.

A Technical Partner At Every Stage
1. Reliable Compliance Calculations
Our compliance consultants provide accurate, defensible SAP calculations and EPC assessments that hold up through planning, building control and post-completion sign-off.
We work to your programme and communicate clearly - so you're not chasing numbers at the last minute or managing queries from building control alone.
✓ SAP calculations (new build and conversions)
✓ Predicted EPC ratings and target-setting
✓ Part L compliance strategy
✓ Part O overheating assessments
✓ Air tightness testing coordination
✓ Design-stage energy modelling
2. System Design That Works Within Your Architecture
We design renewable energy systems around the building, not despite it. Working from your drawings and specifications, our engineers develop solar PV, battery storage, heat pump and EV charging designs that integrate cleanly with the architecture and structure.
Early engagement means we can identify constraints, agree routing and positioning, and produce technical packages that your contractor can build from without ambiguity.
✓ Solar PV system design (roof and façade-integrated)
✓ Battery storage and energy management systems
✓ Heat pump and low-carbon heating design
✓ EV charging infrastructure
✓ Coordinated technical drawings and specifications
✓ M&E interface coordination
3. Installation That Matches Specification
This is where most projects go wrong - and where Flint's model makes the biggest difference.
Because we designed the system, our installation teams know exactly what was specified and why. There are no substitutions without sign-off, no shortcuts that create compliance gaps, and no disconnect between what your drawings say and what ends up on the roof or in the plant room.
✓ MCS-certified solar PV and battery installation
✓ Heat pump installation
✓ EV charging infrastructure
✓ Direct coordination with main contractor and site team
✓ Specification compliance tracked through installation
4. Testing, Commissioning & Handover
We produce the compliance evidence your client needs - air tightness results, commissioning records, as-built EPCs and certification packs - on time and to the required standard.
If building control or the developer has queries, we handle them directly. You don't need to be in the middle of it.
✓ Air tightness testing and reporting
✓ Post-completion EPC assessments
✓ System commissioning certificates
✓ MCS documentation
✓ As-built compliance packs
✓ Handover support for developers and residents
Why Architects Work With Flint Energy
The most common failure point in renewable energy installation isn't the technology - it's the gap between what was specified and what gets installed. Substituted components, incorrect positioning, missing commissioning - these issues create compliance failures and client complaints that land back with the design team.
When Flint installs, we install to specification. Our engineers designed the system, so they understand the intent behind every decision. If site conditions require a change, it goes through a proper process - it doesn't just happen without your knowledge.

Compliance Advice That's Actually Useful
SAP calculations and EPC assessments are only valuable if the numbers are right and the advice comes early enough to influence design decisions.
Our compliance teams work proactively, flagging issues at design stage rather than after planning has been submitted. We give clear, practical guidance that helps you make better decisions faster.
Getting It Right From the Start Saves Everyone Money
Compliance problems caught at design stage cost a conversation. Caught at handover, they cost time, money and relationships.
Our involvement from early planning stage means the energy strategy is correct before it becomes concrete. Correctly specified systems, sized accurately from the outset, avoid the redesign costs and programme delays that come from getting it wrong later.
A Partner Your Clients Will Thank You For
When you introduce Flint to a developer client, you're giving them access to a team that will make their project run more smoothly.
Better compliance outcomes, fewer installation problems, cleaner handovers. We work hard to protect the relationships that architects and consultants have with their clients, and we understand that our performance on site is a direct reflection of your recommendation.
Who We Work With
We work with architects, planning consultants and sustainability consultants on residential and mixed-use projects across the UK, from individual houses and small developments through to large multi-phase schemes.
