About Energycount

A friendly team of sustainability and energy consultants based near Poole, Dorset — for over 20 years now, doing the clever calculations for projects all over the UK.

In plain terms: we get your project through planning, past Building Control, and over whatever environmental hurdle is in the way. We do it hundreds of times a year — big schemes, single extensions and everything in between — across just about every planning authority going. So if your project feels complicated, relax: we’ve almost certainly met its twin.

The stuff we do

The bit most consultants leave out

We’ve been on your side of the table

Alongside the technical work, we’ve built and managed our own development projects — from buying the land to handing over the keys. We’ve sweated the same deadlines, argued with the same Building Control officers, chased the same suppliers and watched the same budgets wobble. We’ve made the expensive mistakes already, so you don’t have to.

That changes everything about the advice you get. When a calculation fails, we don’t just email you the bad news and an invoice — we know what a spec change actually costs to build, so we point you at the fix that’s cheapest and most practical on a real site, not just the one that’s tidiest on paper.

You’re not buying a set of numbers. You’re getting a consultant who’s stood exactly where you’re standing — and treats your project like one of their own.

Oh, and we make tools

When the software we wanted didn’t exist, we built it — and the troop of monkeys has grown into five free, browser-based calculators. ΨMonkey works out junction thermal bridging psi values to BS EN ISO 10211; WaterMonkey handles Part G water efficiency with live PASS/FAIL at 125 or 110 l/p/d; SoakMonkey sizes soakaways to BRE Digest 365 straight from your percolation test; NutrientMonkey works out nutrient budgets across the Natural England catchments; and U-Monkey builds up any wall, roof or floor to give you a live U-value to BS EN ISO 6946. All free to use, no spreadsheet wrestling — meet the whole troop of monkeys (and yes, it’s still growing).
