A tea related stat for you today…

Congratulations once again to our client, the Yorkshire North & East Methodist District, who are one of 12 capital projects to receive a share of a £6 million funding pot for their work towards achieving Net Zero by 2040

Geoff has visited Newcastle University’s School of Engineering, presenting a lecture as part of the Energy Management module.

Great news for our client the Yorkshire North & East Methodist District, who’ve been nominated in this year’s Community Energy Awards.

We’re firm believers that engaging in CPD helps our team, from graduates to team leaders, to enhance their skills and prepare for future projects.

North Yorkshire has been awarded £22 million from the Shared Prosperity Fund and Rural England Prosperity Fund.

Congratulations to the champions of this year’s d3a September Social.

James recently graduated from Newcastle University with a First-Class Honours MEng in Mechanical Engineering with Energy Systems.

Now that we’ve completed Heat Decarbonisation Plans for 14 of their buildings, Herefordshire Council have asked d3a to take forward detailed designs for the proposed works at Widemarsh and South Meadow Children’s Centres.

Our Architectural team have been busy preparing designs for a sustainable, low energy Community Youth Hub in Co. Durham.

Now that our client The Yorkshire North & East Methodist District have completed the installation of solar panels as part of their Pathway to Net Zero, the Church wanted their congregation to understand just how much electricity has been generated.

Times have been tough for SMEs over the last few years but add slow payment of invoices into the mix and it can really push cashflow to the absolute limit.

Having welcomed 2 new faces to our Architectural team over the last few weeks, it’s now the turn of our Energy team. Suhail Khan has moved to the north east from Leeds to join d3a as a Design Engineer.

Following a successful short placement with d3a last summer James has returned to spend his Part 1 year in industry with us. Studying Architecture at the Glasgow School of Art, James has been busy since we last saw him. Along with his studies, he organised a workshop between his University, UCL Bartlett and the Rwandan School of Architecture.

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.
