Sustainability
Realise your Project Goals Sustainably with Connected Expertise
The concept of sustainability is an essential part of the planning process for operations, development and capital investment schemes. Clients use our sustainability expertise to shape strategies, inform design, and make investment and asset management decisions across the built and natural environment. Our solutions help you address challenges, set expectations and realise goals. In doing so, we help deliver lasting value in many forms, such as improved investor confidence, stakeholder satisfaction, lower carbon footprints, efficient resource usage, and planning and regulatory compliance.
We can evaluate proposed projects to identify opportunities in the final solution, applying integrated thinking to help shape a new building or retrofit an existing building, assisting clients to achieve sustainability ratings under accreditation systems including LEED, BREEAM ® and CEEQUAL. We investigate qualitative and quantitative benefits such as reducing energy/carbon outputs or producing a more profitable business model with lower capital and operational expenditures (CAPEX and OPEX).
