Sustainability
Sustainability. . . . perhaps the most over used word of
this decade. However, the concept is now well routed within
government policy and as such must be considered in every phase
of the construction process.
Methods such as BREEAM can be used to "rank" your project when
in the application stage. Although capital outlay may be higher
in some circumstances a building with a higher BREEAM rating
will generally enjoy lower operating costs.
SWEL can advise on ways to meet your 10% renewable obligation
under the "Merton Rule".
We can help with any of the environmental aspects of your
planning application or construction process. |
