MISSION

Make heat work—for life.

Heat is one of the biggest opportunities we have to lift comfort, lower cost and cut emissions at the same time. Done well, it becomes a backbone for how places work.

People living well. Communities thriving. The planet healing. That is the direction.

STUDIO

An energy systems studio for places that cannot afford guesswork.

If you are responsible for an estate, a network or a town, you are carrying a lot. Keeping buildings warm without wasting money. Cutting carbon without breaking services. Making decisions that still feel sound in twenty years, not only in year one.

Generation 7 exists for that space. We help you see the whole system, slow the overwhelm and turn complexity into steps you can actually take.

SIMPLE IDEA

We can live in a better world if we design for it.

We choose a world where people live well, communities thrive and the planet is part of every decision.

CULTURE
BRING YOUR HUMANITY
TO EVERY MOMENT
The organising idea that guides how we think, relate, decide and collaborate.
WHAT WE BELIEVE

Better outcomes come from better starting points.

Heat is not only an engineering problem. It is wellbeing. It is financial resilience. It is community stability. It is environmental responsibility showing up in pipes, controls and decisions.

Systems succeed when the people around them can succeed too. That means better briefs, clearer ownership and designs that work with real life rather than fighting it.

WHY IT MATTERS

A once in a century shift.
Most places are not ready.

Estates are running on equipment older than the people operating it. Bills keep rising faster than budgets. Targets are approaching faster than teams can adapt. And heat, the thing every building needs, is still the part no one wants to touch.

40%
of UK emissions relate to heat
36%
of public estate energy spend is heat
20 to 60%
losses in typical legacy systems

When heat fails, life stops. Care homes become unsafe. Hospitals delay. Families choose between comfort and cost. This is social, economic and ecological all at once. The stakes are already here.

ROADMAP

A progressive way to redesign your energy future.

01
See the whole estate
Loads, patterns, constraints and real behaviour before anyone touches a spanner.
02
Reimagine the flows
Where heat comes from, where it goes and where it is being lost.
03
Design for people, place and planet
Low temperature logic, flexible zones and integrated renewables.
04
Build what future generations will thank you for
Upgradeable, repairable systems that stay coherent over decades.
TEAM

Engineers who think in systems.

We bring systems strategy and infrastructure engineering together so briefs, funding cases and designs point in the same direction. We can translate between board papers and plant rooms without losing what matters.

ORIGIN

Where this work really began.

Our founder Oliver first learned what a better world can feel like through community, not theory.

Working on a project in the Philippines, he found a way of life shaped by connection. People looked out for each other. Decisions were shared. The land was not separate from life, it was part of it. There was very little, yet a deep sense of belonging.

That experience did not give him a slogan. It gave him a direction.

Generation 7 grew from that simple belief: when we design systems, we should design for connection, for place and for generations to come, because that is how life works well.

CREDIBILITY

Experience is what turns belief into outcomes. We know what it takes.
