> About BuildDesk
Who we are
BuildDesk Ltd is a UK company based in Portishead on the outskirts of Bristol. BuildDesk provides software tools and consultancy to help improve the use of energy in buildings.
helping national and local governments to set policies on energy
helping regions and local government to implement sustainable energy plans
helping businesses make cost-effective energy improvement investments in their buildings
We are also keen that when energy is needed, as much of it as possible comes from renewable resources. Fossil fuels are a precious resource and we don’t want to see them wasted through inefficient buildings and processes.
BuildDesk helps people to plan for, develop, build, live and work in buildings in an energy efficient way.
Our mission is:
Together with our customers BuildDesk creates an energy efficient and sustainable building environment, by uniquely connecting people and optimal know-how
The BuildDesk software suite helps architects and engineers make their working processes more efficient by doing most of the time-consuming calculation work and making it possible for them to focus on designing and planning. Our software makes it easy to calculate the energy efficiency and predicated carbon emissions of buildings.
BuildDesk Training provides you with the needed theoretical insights as well as hands-on training for keeping up to date with building legislation and the consequences for design and construction. Training ranges from simple U-value calculations through to preparation for full accreditation for producing Energy Performance Certificates
BuildDesk undertakes a wide range of consultancy projects that help to make the built environment more energy and carbon efficient
We provide support to government and business clients for policies that will help to improve the environmental performance of the built environment. This will reduce their contribution to damaging climate change. We also help our clients to develop policies to adapt to the changes in climate that are likely to occur in future decades.
Having a policy is only useful if it is implemented. We help clients to put their policies into effect, whether they are about major infrastructure planning or improving the building efficiency of a small business.
We have considerable knowledge of the nitty-gritty detail of how to put together low carbon buildings. We can explain the range of options available, help clients choose how best to proceed and can ensure critical issues are addressed during construction and use of the buildings.

At BuildDesk we believe that everyone should be able to live and work in comfortable buildings that use minimal energy. We help our clients to make this a reality through a range of software products, advice and services.
BuildDesk produces a suite of software that allows users to make calculations to meet the energy efficiency needs of building regulations. Our software allows you to speed up the process of completing your calculations and provides you with flexibility to test different scenarios.
There are a wide variety of issues to address to improve efficiency or sustainability. BuildDesk can help you understand the concepts that are critical for the built environment. We can also offer specialist training to provide people with the skills they need to calculate the energy efficiency of buildings.
BuildDesk offers consultancy on a range of issues relating to the use of energy and sustainability in the built environment. We help clients formulate strategy, determine their policies and implement changes that have real benefits.
BuildDesk provides a Building Performance Assessment (BPA) service for existing commercial buildings. The BPA helps clients save money by using building modelling techniques to reduce the energy consumption of their buildings without compromising the indoor environment.
