We’re reaching a point where sustainability is becoming the new normal

​

What most developers and owners typically do when wanting to go green inexpensively without  a process is to take short-cuts, which actually ends up costing them more money,frustration and brand reputation.

​

The primary reasons projects are failing to meet green building standards include:

• What developers fail to understand is that achieving green building standards comes from optimizing the architectural design from the start. When implementing sustainability too late in the process, project teams are forced to redesign plans completely, which incurs huge costs, additional resources and a significant delay in project deadlines.

• It is hard for a project manager to understand all certification credit requirements and their impact on each design discipline, architects, MEP engineers, lighting specialists, facade specialists, sanitary engineers, civil engineers, energy experts and contractors without which it is impossible to achieve strict certification compliance

• Stand alone green features such as landscaping and air purifiers do not make a project green, neither in the eyes of certification authorities nor in the eyes of your customer base. Greenwashing is highly perceivable and strongly rejected.

• And when it comes time to choose green features, materials and technology, there are so many labels, certifications, technical specifications and products that you cannot decide which one will serve your project best and perform accordingly

And if you decide to just skip the green part, you’re at risk of putting a development out there that will be non-compliant with environmental regulations a few years down the road, have increasing energy and maintenance bills, represent a lower standard and value to both customers and investors and suffer from a poorer image.

We have created a brief for developing

high performance green buildings at low cost

​​

Are you an owner, investor, or PM who has a project you want to make sustainable or achieve green certification but you’re unsure where to start? Have you been told that achieving green building standards and certification costs a lot more and is an extremely complicated, long, painful process? Or have you already incorporated green features in your project and still have low occupancy, high operational bills and have not significantly altered your brand to reflect the purposeful business you want to be? 

If the answer is yes to any of these questions, then this is The Green Design Brief you have been looking for. Here’s why.

​

With our 10 years expertise in Green Building Engineering, we have helped all our clients meet high performance, heathy, energy efficient standardized green buildings at little to no additional cost and with zero delay to project deadline and we’ve collected all this knowledge and compiled it in our step to step guide.

​

As sustainability consultants and green building engineers, we’ve seen many of our clients struggle meeting green building standards and we feel we have an obligation to support you, property owners, developers, project managers, architects and designers to produce sustainable, resilient and healthy building environments that people want to live in seamlessly.

We developed a holistic process which relies on bioclimatic architecture and where green principles are integrated early in the design stage resulting in high building performance at low cost.

We then took this high result-driven process and documented it in The Green Design Brief so our clients could easily implement it internally on their projects to achieve green building standards.
