Sustainable living and the “climate crisis” are top of the 21st century agenda.
The construction industry is responsible for a significant proportion of total carbon emissions, yet we continue to produce poor quality, high carbon buildings. Many of these buildings will stand for decades, so what we do today defines our planet for the next generation and beyond.
The technology exists to build better, but a lack of knowledge and understanding prevents widespread commitment to higher sustainability standards in the built environment.
Although reducing carbon emissions is a priority, true sustainable design comes with positive side effects:
- Superior indoor comfort
- Healthier indoor environments
- Better quality buildings and spaces
- Cost effective living
A good building should be like a cup of tea. Warm when it’s cold, refreshing when it’s hot, and just what you need morning, day, and night. Pragmatism is essential though, sometimes a cup of coffee does the job.
