Sustainable & Green

Buildings

Our definition of sustainable green buildings

Buildings designed, constructed and used in a responsible way from their creation, use and eventually their decommissioning, with the aim to reduce or eliminate negative impacts on the environment and to promote a positive effect for the future.

​

With this definition in mind our aim is to support the upgrading of existing buildings, with the latest technological solutions and materials, so they are as sustainable and as green as possible moving forward, while understanding the complexities of working with an existing building that was not necessarily built in a sustainable way and to construct new buildings sustainably from the very start, while making sure we include, at all times, the wellbeing of the buildings occupants, its users and its neighbours. (Wellbuildings) Creating a sustainable green building is not just a matter of adding solar pv panels or ground source heat pumps. It requires the ability to carefully match existing technologies and materials within the new and existing building’s construction and use.

​

So, for all sustainability and green energy projects we first examine the current position and how the latest products and systems would be a natural fit. The next step is to explore the possibility of using a combination of technologies, that would work in harmony with each other and to carefully integrate these into the design to create your sustainable ‘green building’ which may include upgrading the existing construction, including many options such as upgrading the thermal insulation, the use of energy efficient lighting and even draft proofing. However, the options are numerous and with our expert advice we can help you to make an informed decision on the most effective options for your unique project.

​

Solutions may include the following ideas and technologies.  Some are very easy choices to implement, while others require a more thorough analysis.
