ECOLOGICALLY SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENTS (ESD)

Building owners generally understand the benefits of incorporating ecologically sustainable principles into new developments. Correctly interpreted and applied, the benefits can include healthier buildings in which to live and work, which cost less to operate. Applied in a commercial sense, increases in productivity are also achievable.

But ESD isn’t restricted to new buildings or commercial buildings. It plays an important part in retrofitting buildings, as well as in alterations and additions - whether applied to a single house or a multi storey office building or anything in between.

Good ESD principles include:

• ensuring emphasis on passive energy use
• improving indoor environments to promote people’s well being
• using environmentally safe building materials and renewable energy sources. 

Environmentally sustainable initiatives for all projects also include:

•  passive energy design
• water and waste minimisation 
• rainwater and storm water harvesting
• renewable sources for domestic hot water systems.
  

We provide assistance with setting appropriate performance benchmarks that can be monitored throughout the design, building, ongoing use and deconstruction phases of the building.  This allows us to help you achieve realistic and affordable solutions that also improve the health of our planet.

Our services can range from a simple analysis and report of a suitable product through to a full environmental assessment of proposed designs.
