Sustainable buildings

The global construction industry has a massive environmental impact. Sustainable practices can help minimize waste, conserve energy, and save money, however, it must be done with consideration for the human perspective.

Building designers and consultants must support clients in navigating in the constantly evolving sustainability agenda and ensure that buildings are designed to be attractive and liveable for the individual users.

Understanding the project context and the clients’ agenda is essential when defining a sustainability strategy. We use our own Sustainability Toolbox to highlight relevant focus areas and define ambition levels in collaboration with clients and partners.

We have global expertise in Life Cycle Assessments, timber structures, energy optimization and circular economy to design carbon neutral buildings. Our human centric approach places the health & well-being of building users in the centre of design.

Our experts master more than 20 global recognized environmental certification schemes such as LEED, BREEAM and DGNB that document the sustainability impact of all types of building projects.
