Sustainability in the built environment

We help clients navigate the transition to more sustainable buildings from design phase to operation through solid experience in how buildings are designed, planned, financed, operated, and retrofitted within their local context.

Elevating sustainability standards in the built environment globally

Our global, multidisciplinary collaboration delivers comprehensive sustainability consultancy and design solutions. Our regenerative approach to the built environment aims at flourishing communities that are dynamic, emergent, resilient, and circular.
Strategy
We provide strategic advice on EU Taxonomy alignment, ESG, CRREM and Net-Zero objectives striving for a holistic perspective.
Certification
Our 150+ licensed assessors guide you through processes across major schemes such as BREEAM, DGNB, LEED, Miljöbyggnad, NABERS, Passivhaus, WELL, and Level(S), aiding in target setting, design, and construction for optimal certification outcome.
Energy
Our energy efficiency services include retrofitting strategies, simulations, and performance evaluations, complemented by expertise in passive design, district heating/cooling, and renewable solar and wind energy.
Materials and Carbon Assessments
We undertake whole life carbon assessment (WLCA), using our global insight into the embodied carbon associated with building materials and the operational carbon from energy use. We use carbon assessment to focus our carbon reduction strategies, advocating for building design that accommodates material efficiency, use of biobased materials and circular principles.
Indoor environment
We prioritize indoor environmental quality through optimisation of thermal comfort, daylight, acoustics, and air quality, all crucial for occupant health.
Durability and Adaptability
We deliver services in climate risk assessment, building automation and smart building designs to ensure durability and adaptability in the face of evolving climates and user needs.
