TM54: Evaluating Operational Energy Performance of Buildings at the Design Stage

As the climate emergency intensifies, there’s a pressing need for buildings that deliver exceptional operational performance and meet net-zero targets. TM54 is your essential guide for bridging the gap between predicted and actual energy use, ensuring that your projects achieve not just compliance but excellence.

Why Choose TM54?

  1. Accurate Energy Predictions
    TM54 goes beyond basic compliance modelling. It provides a step-by-step approach to estimate energy use with precision during the design stage, covering everything from lighting to HVAC, small power, and more. By accounting for real-world factors, TM54 helps you design buildings that perform as intended, reducing costly performance gaps.

  2. Comprehensive and Flexible Approach
    Tailored for engineers, consultants, and designers, TM54 can be applied to any type of building—whether new or existing, in the UK or internationally. The methodology allows you to model various scenarios, conduct sensitivity analyses, and refine your design based on realistic energy use estimates.

  3. Informed Design Decisions
    By integrating TM54 into your design process, you gain valuable insights that go beyond initial predictions. Understand where energy is likely to be used, identify the most effective performance measures, and optimize your building’s design to meet stringent energy targets. With TM54, energy modelling becomes a powerful tool for making informed design decisions at every project stage.

  4. Achieve Net-Zero Goals with Confidence
    TM54 aligns with the industry’s push towards net-zero. It equips you with the tools to deliver on ambitious operational energy targets, ensuring your projects not only comply with regulations but set the standard for sustainable design.

  5. Continuous Performance Monitoring
    TM54 supports you beyond the design phase, providing guidance for post-occupancy evaluations and ongoing performance tuning. Use the methodology to keep your building’s energy performance on track, making adjustments as needed to maintain optimal efficiency.

TM54 is a pathway to creating energy-efficient, sustainable buildings. With its practical approach, you’ll deliver projects that not only meet compliance but set a new standard in net-zero energy performance. At Walker Energy Analysis, we bring deep expertise in implementing TM54, guiding you through accurate energy modelling, scenario testing, and fine-tuning to optimise efficiency. We help bridge the gap between design and reality, ensuring your projects meet regulatory standards and excel in delivering sustainable, low-energy buildings.
