We’re thrilled to welcome Simon Bland, as our new Architectural Technologist, to the d3a team.

Yesterday we said a fond farewell to Arnaldo Sanha, who's spent the last year working with our Architectural Team as a Part 1 Architectural Assistant. In that time Arnie's Revit skills have really taken off and he's made a huge contribution to live projects.

Thanks to Northern Powergrid and Regen for inviting Geoff, from the d3a Decarbonisation team, to speak at their Community Energy Forum.

Brad & Andrew from the d3a Energy Team have just got back from a few days in London. Apart from the obvious sightseeing they were also visiting communal energy schemes.

Lots of heat mapping going on at d3a this week. Scoping out the heat networks of the future. Quantifying demand and mapping pipe routes for optimal distribution and minimal heat loss.

The d3a Energy Team are now putting their talents to good use in Norfolk where they’re working on a Heat Mapping and Master Planning study for King’s Lynn & West Norfolk Council.

Today at d3a it's all about training and investing in our team.

The d3a energy team packed their buckets and spades and headed to the seaside last weekend. They were attending Flourish at Scarborough Spa, an event organised by the Yorkshire North & East Methodist District.

Great news for our client Chinley, Buxworth and Brownside Community Association. They have been successful with their National Lottery Bid and secured £490,000 towards their new Community Centre!

Phase 4 Public Sector Low Carbon Skills Fund announced.

If you’re considering a retrofit to improve the energy efficiency of any building, whether it’s your own home or the local community centre, you will eventually have to decide between a new gas boiler or an air source heat pump.

The d3a team have carried out site surveys at a selection of public sector buildings for Herefordshire Council; ranging from children’s care centres and libraries right through to the local crematorium.

We’re on site at Sewerby Methodist Church today as solar PV panels are being installed. The plan had been to record the whole process with a drone, but the snowy weather forecast got the better of us.

This week d3a are welcoming Andrew Little, our new Graduate Engineer, to the Energy team.

Big news for the d3a Energy team. We’ve won a contract with Herefordshire Council to carry out detailed Heat Decarbonisation Plans on a number of council buildings across the County and we’ll be making site visits later this month.

Having been heavily focused on recruitment for the last few months the d3a team have been working with Durham University to promote the opportunities available within small and medium sized businesses.

The search is officially over and we’re delighted to introduce Simon Timperley as our new Associate Architect.

Stockholm's district heating network has 3,000km (1,860 miles) of pipes and now supplies electricity to 800,000 homes using industrial-scale heat pumps which capture heat from domestic wastewater, data centres and seawater, alongside incinerated non-recyclable waste and forest biofuels.

Walls are being moved, cupboards emptied, new carpets laid and colours chosen. We’re busy expanding to incorporate a new meeting room and create workstations for new employees - watch this space.
