Sustainable Building Design and Management

With 50% of UK CO2 emissions (excluding air travel) originating from buildings, it is clear that the construction and operation of buildings is a key factor in an effective response to climate change. The problem is compounded by a legacy of unsustainable building design making up the majority of real estate in the UK and the challenges of implementing sustainability programmes on leased buildings.

Sustainable building design is achieved most successfully when integrated from the planning stage and including full life cycle assessments. However not many businesses have the luxury of being able to specify their own building design, and more commonly face the prospect of modifying existing buildings to achieve sustainability goals.

The most economical and rapid route to reducing the footprint of your business often starts with sustainable building design and operation. We help clients to integrate sustainable resource and energy use into their buildings. Our specialists work at any stage of specification, design or construction, or with existing buildings to ensure minimum wastage, energy use and resource exploitation.
