Sustainable Design Approach
Our ecologically sustainable design strategies seek to make optimal use of scarce resources, recognizing that both building materials and the energy utilized to extract and create them are finite. A sustainable building maximizes daylight and fresh air, providing a superior environment for its occupants and resulting in long-term contributions to the surrounding environment. The components of sustainable design include:
• Advanced building control systems
• Climatically responsive planning
• Waste reduction
• Natural daylighting
• Building orientation
• Urban redevelopment
• Thermal massing
• Intelligent building systems
• Building simulation
• Building performance ratings
