Inkling LLP

CIBSE Building Performance Awards Small Consultancy of the Year 2024. We are a Building Physics consultancy and we exist to help make buildings more comfortable and energy efficient. Building Physics is the intelligent application of simulation software to predict how a building will perform and respond to occupancy and local climate. It explores the metabolism of buildings in terms of daylight access, how well they'll keep warm/stay cool (thermal comfort) and energy performance. Our advice is used to explore the implications of different design options, and optimise them throughout the building. We work on a wide variety of project types from single houses and whole housing schemes through to schools and colleges, offices, theatres and museums; both refurbishments and new-builds. We work with architects and engineers, nurturing concepts into solid designs. Our work supports planning applications, BREEAM assessments, EPC requirements and energy performance targets. At Inkling, we take pride in our communication skills, careful attention to our clients' requirements and delivery of exactly what is needed in a transparent way. We have a ‘free biscuits’ offer aimed at encouraging early, face-to-face discussions about Building Physics; explaining its value as a design tool; informing design decisions and giving guidance on how decisions will impact on thermal comfort and energy performance. We intend that our intelligence, approachability and the clarity of our reports will gain us repeat work and give Inkling a sustainable future.
