GREEN BUILDING CERTIFICATION
Sea levels are rising, the oceans are getting warmer, droughts are getting longer. These are only a few examples of what climate change can cause. Climate change is told to be one of the major threats to our way of life. It is said that buildings contribute up to one third of global greenhouse gases emissions. Buildings which are not designed or built right consume larger amounts of virgin materials and use energy inefficiently that have huge emissions.

Green building certification are systems that allow projects to be assessed and benchmarked against other developments to see where it stands in terms of sustainability. Certifications focus on some key areas which include efficient use of energy and water, alternative sources of water, renewable energy, reducing and recycling pollution waste, good indoor air quality, use of ethical non polluting non-toxic sustainable materials, adaptable design and ensure quality of life for the occupants.

Operational Building Performance
Building performance optimisation is about reducing energy consumption and operating costs, increasing the effectiveness and wellbeing of the staff and increasing business security by having a more resilient building. A key part in this process is reviewing the design intent and evaluating the performance of the existing buildings systems through energy auditing. We provide a range of services designed to fine tune and optimise energy performance and indoor environmental quality, enabling our clients to achieve more for less out of their buildings.
