3. WHY USE
STROMA
TECH?
For Environmental Consultancy
We provide a nationally-available package
of environmental assessments and
surveys, including flood risk, ecological,
contamination, noise and more.
For Code, BREEAM, HQM &
CEEQUAL
We advise how best to attain the required
rating. We don’t just mechanically assess
the project, but provide real value with
guidance to achieve cost effective and low
risk compliance. We keep clients fully
informed using management software
tools (for example Tracker Plus for
BREEAM) and through conventional
communication methods.
Our BREEAM accredited professionals
can help to obtain additional credits
and provide key benefits into the
assessment process, as well as having
assessors qualified and experienced in the
new BREEAM domestic refurbishment
category.
For Energy Assessment
(SAP, SBEM, DSM, etc.)
Stroma Tech is an acknowledged expert in
energy assessment. Our sister company,
Stroma Certification, is a leading provider
of software, training and certification in
these subjects and this has undoubtedly
influenced us.
Our domestic assessors (SAP) are
celebrated for their efficiency and
consultative approach. Our non-domestic
team has a range of capabilities such as
dynamic simulation modelling (DSM),
thermal bridging analysis and daylight
assessment as required on the most
challenging projects.
For Air Tightness and Acoustic
Compliance
Stroma Tech is one of the UK’s
pre-eminent providers of consultancy and
testing for air-tightness.
We employ one of the UK’s largest teams
of air-tightness testers and advisors, with
a formidable level of collective experience.
We provide fast, cost-effective testing of
buildings, compartments, fire-protected
rooms, plenums, ducts and more. Few
can compare with our ability to advise on
design and construction approaches to
achieve compliant results.
Our team has extensive experience of
acoustic design, from separating walls
and floors in residential developments
to acoustically sensitive rooms in a
commercial environment, including
education, healthcare and offices.
We use environmental and sound
insulation modelling software to predict
environmental noise, plant noise and
internal acoustic environment.
We carry out all aspects of acoustic
testing and environmental noise
measurements for developments of
all conceivable sizes and types, for
compliance with Part E, BREEAM, BB93,
HTM 08-01, NPPF and more.

Stroma Tech offers seminars and workshops to
assist you with project success?
In SAP, Code for Sustainable Homes and BREEAM workshops,
our assessors and consultants can work with designers,
contractors or developers to review the project requirements
alongside compliance criteria; this enables us to outline key
areas of risk, cost and challenge and allow for timely and
effective consideration of such factors.
Design and construction seminars on air tightness and acoustics
allow our senior test engineers and acousticians to share their
compliance expertise with your project teams. During concept
design stages, we can equip your design team to design for
effective results; at the construction stage, we can work with
key trades to assist in achieving intended design objectives
on-site.
Stroma Tech can provide Energy Strategy Reports
for your projects?
Stroma Tech’s expert consultants can develop suitable energy
strategies to ensure success, whether to meet challenging
sustainability requirements such as those defined within the

energy targets. We have extensive experience of developing
successful strategies for contractors, local authorities,
developers and design consultants.
When employed at early stages of your projects,

savings and mitigate risk?
