ABOUT
SOGEIN Energy and Carbon Consultants was founded in 2018 with the straightforward goal of improving buildings design using applied building physics.
Our goal is to assist our clients in streamlining their shift towards a sustainable future by enhancing the way that building energy, carbon, occupant health, and wellbeing are managed at the design and operational stage. We support the integration of building performance modelling into building design and analysis, as well as the use of data to evaluate the effects of decisions made throughout design, operation, maintenance, and retrofitting.
Our mission is to contribute to the decarbonisation of the built environment, ensuring buildings are designed to the highest energy, carbon and comfort standards using our strong understanding of applied building physics and advanced modelling.
Our building physics team makes predictive assessments of the environmental performance of buildings and finds optimal ways of regulating internal environments by balancing the many factors that influence the way a building is designed. From temperature and humidity to airflow, daylight, and air quality, we apply a deep understanding of physics to the design of low-carbon, healthy and high-performing buildings.
SERVICES
SOGEIN Energy and Carbon Consultants offers top-tier technical analysis and consulting tailored to elevate building performance, meet design objectives. We provide engineering design services with a keen focus on performance and sustainability, with robust technical expertise based on building physics principles. We collaborate seamlessly with other consulting engineers firms, enhancing their strengths while delivering specialised expertise where it’s needed.

PROJECTS
Our team has a combined experience of over 10 years in both commercial and residential schemes. Some of these include:
RETAIL AND OFFICE BUILDINGS
The development will comprise 134,000 sq. ft of offices and 5,000 sq. ft of retail. The development has been designed as a low carbon building ≤600kgCO2e/sqm in line with Greater London Authority’s requirement. BREEAM ‘Outstanding’, LEED Gold, EPC ‘A’ and NABERS 4.5 Star ratings.
CIBSE Admittance Method Heating and Cooling Loads, Thermal comfort CIBSE TM52 and BREEAM Hea04, Low and Zero Carbon Feasibility Study (BREEAM Ene04), Stage 4 Operational Energy Assessment CIBSE TM54, Energy Strategy / Sustainability Statement, Daylight and Sunlight Assessment
123 Victoria Street is a mixed-use office and retail with 245,000 sq. ft GIA. The 1977’s building has undergone refurbishment in 2012, conserving its architectural heritage character with brighter modern façade. 123 Victoria Street achieved BREEAM ‘Very Good’ rating and 100% renewable electricity.
