We are committed to integrated, sustainable, energy conserving design, which has the result of reducing building operating costs, improving human comfort and health, reducing pollution and negative environmental impacts.
- Apply a sustainable approach in all our designs from conception to completion: by designing from first principles, the basics.
- Promote Life cycle costing and material longevity.
- Use ‘environmentally friendly’ local building materials and skills where possible, together with promoting the use of recycled and recyclable building products.
- Combine material efficiency, building configuration with creative and innovative design.
- Optimise passive design through the buildings form and fabric; passive ventilation to reduce artificial approaches and use of natural light to reduce the need for additional lighting.
- Consider where appropriate the use of passive solar gain to reduce additional heating requirements
- Integration of ‘environmental technologies’ within an overall building strategy to meet clients needs and budget.
