Floyd Energy® (Floyd Group Pty Ltd) has been independently assessing thermal performance in building designs for Australian architects, builders and developers, and homeowners since 2001 – that’s before government legislation.
With 30 years’ experience in the building materials sector, specialising in windows and glass, two of the key components in obtaining a thermally efficient building, Wayne Floyd, Founder & Managing Director of Floyd Energy®, was already advising builders, architects and developers on how to alter building design to achieve thermal comfort and energy savings.
With the launch of Floyd Energy® he could now apply his extensive knowledge across all aspects of a building’s design.
In 2003, all Australian state and territory governments commenced staged roll-outs of mandatory energy efficiency standards into the Building Code of Australia (BCA). With this, an influx of energy rating businesses soon followed. But Floyd Energy® was already ahead of the energy rating industry, pushing-the-limits of energy appraisal software programs. Wayne and his growing team were using their building knowledge to ask the pertinent and often difficult questions to deliver best outcomes for clients.
Floyd Energy® has grown its service offering beyond energy ratings to consultancy services and worked with Australian government departments, regulatory authorities, building materials suppliers, industry associations and volume builders.
Floyd Energy® has built a reputation of giving clients and industry bodies independent advice, a clearer understanding of the impact of home and building energy rating process on their respective businesses, and caring about delivering long-term well-being and comfort and designing buildings for the future.
