TM59 Overheating Assessments for Comfortable and Compliant Buildings Nottingham

Welcome to Compliant EPC, your trusted partner in building compliance and energy efficiency. Our TM59 Overheating Assessment service ensures that your residential or commercial properties are designed to provide comfort while meeting regulatory requirements. Our expert team is dedicated to helping you achieve optimal thermal performance and mitigate the risk of overheating, adhering to the latest standards and best practices.

What is TM59 Overheating Assessment?

TM59 is a technical memorandum published by the Chartered Institution of Building Services Engineers (CIBSE). It provides a comprehensive framework for assessing the risk of overheating in new and existing buildings. The assessment evaluates whether a building’s design and performance will maintain comfortable temperatures for occupants throughout the year, especially during heatwaves and periods of intense solar gain. For many residential schemes, however, this level of simulation is not always necessary, as glazing, ventilation, and dwelling layout fall within the prescribed limits of Approved Document O, explaining when the Part O Simplified Method can be used instead of TM59 modelling.
