We are often approached now by clients who have ambitious long-term sustainability and net zero targets. The end numbers for major commercial developments are calculated long before the site is acquired, and the ground is broken.
The impact of developing infrastructure on sustainability goals
One of the challenges in reaching sustainability goals alongside cost is the infrastructure needed to support measures. It is not enough to develop innovative ways to harness green energy, the UK needs to change supply lines and develop battery storage to ensure that energy can be distributed and stored.
The Net Zero Roadmap for Existing Buildings
Meeting regulations and guidance around carbon emissions is a far simpler undertaking with new building projects because everything can be measured from the embodied carbon during construction to projections on operational carbon. When we look at the built environment and retrospective measures, however,
Tracking Embodied Carbon in Buildings
Understanding embodied carbon in assets throughout the whole life of a building is critical for the clients we work with keen to reduce emissions. Building services consultancy engineers have always been focused on improving the design and efficiency of a building to optimise its performance and now more
Public Health Services: Roof and Sanitary Systems
Our engineers ensure that both the foul and wastewater and rainwater drainage flows generated from both of these disciplines are designed and managed in a manner that they connect into the below-ground drainage systems provided by others in a way that can be easily coped with.
