Sustainable DesignToday, more than ever, environmental considerations are crucial
issues for the success of our business. This is particularly so for
our apprach to design, in which promotion of truly sustainable
solutions is a cornerstone.So much of the energy expended in buildings is due to the way in which
the external environment impacts on the building facades. We
therefore establish the key parameters on building orientation,
massing and fenestration, on building materials, insulation
methods and construction techniques to minimize embodied CO² and
create the internal environment necessary for really low energy building
services installations. We use our understanding of human factors to
develop designs that are responsive to both people and to the seasons,
considering key criteria such as access to daylight, natural
ventilation and building adjacencies. This creates internal
environments that are both delightful and stimulating, but also are
cheaper to run and maintain.To achieve both sustainability and value for money in our designs we
favour a 'passive' approach to energy conservation concentrating
on high insulation values, low airtightness and thermal mass,
and a compact building form narrow enough to avoid air-conditioning
while minimising the external envelope subject to heat loss.In our urban design work we are very conscious of the need to create
settlements which will stand the test of time and where the
communication patterns are such that people are encouraged to travel on
foot, cycle or by public transport rather than by private car.We recognise that the products of our designs will have a significant
environmental impact and we are committed to exercising our professional
skills in such a way as to minimise such environmental impact in so far
as this is possible within the instructions received from our clients.
Therefore it is our objective to incorporate good sustainability
principles into our design output and actively encourage our clients to:
use low embodied energy materials (both in manufacture and transport);
adopt solutions which result in low energy consumption in use;
allow for the incorporation of renewable energy sources; install
water saving components and techniques; use environmentally benign/non-
polluting materials; use timber from sustainable sources; adopt
insulation standards above the current building regulations; use
components and materials that can be safely recycled; and minimise
waste in the construction process.Please visit our Sustainability page for further information on our approach sustainable Design.
