Edward Architectural Services

Based in Leeds City Centre, Edward Architectural Services provides an enthusiastic and friendly design service to a wide range of clients and sectors.  Graham Edward, the founder and Managing Director, has been designing buildings for 28 years, with an increasing focus in recent years on incorporating renewable energy systems into each project.Over the past seven to eight years, government legislation has encouraged architects and designers to use more and more renewable building techniques and energy sources.  At the same time, residential clients have become more and more interested in incorporating renewable principles into the design of new homes and conversions.  For these clients, EAS has come up with a “Green Template” to provide a shopping list of practical sustainable initiatives for their homes.EAS prides itself on its thorough understanding of the constantly moving current statutory regulations in housing, especially in relation to the various sustainable energy initiatives.  Graham and colleagues have made it their business to be in a position to advise clients so that they can be confident they are fully informed of the latest regulations and are getting the very best from their sustainable energy strategies.

 

Graham finds solar PV a particularly useful way to increase the green energy production in a project, primarily because it will easily slot into the roof slope, therefore not affecting the integrity of the building design.  It is also easy to fit and retro-fit, and has proven itself to be an economical way of achieving the required energy efficiencies.

EAS has been involved with solar technologies on a wide variety of building types, from small retro-fit schemes to much larger housing schemes and commercial schemes looking to achieve 10% renewable energy.  One recent project incorporated solar PV panels onto the roof tops of the town centre car parks at the Royal Armouries in Leeds.  This project was designed to provide energy back into the national grid.

 

Always committed to help, advise and be innovative, Edward Architecture takes its position of trust seriously, and recommends only trusted suppliers to provide the best possible outcome for each project.

 

Graham Edward says:  “As building product specifiers, we’re more than happy to specify the Crompton range of solar technology because they’ve been supplying switch gear to the building trade for many, many years.  We work with a number of contractors, all of whom are happy to recommend the Crompton Solar range for its time saving function and its quality.”
