Software and web tools are an integral part of Southfacing’s business.
We have worked with the London Energy Partnership and a consortium of other companies to develop Low Carbon Designer, a low and zero carbon electronic toolkit. The toolkit allows building designers, developers and planners to better understand the impact of energy on developments; it will encourage low and zero carbon developments and help achieve their 10% renewable energy target. This project is funded by the Department of Trade and Industry and the London Development Agency with support from the Greater London Authority and many other partners.
Version one was released late in 2008 and can be downloaded from the London Energy Partnership website here: www.lep.org.uk/projects/toolkits.php
