Sustainable Building Design
Open spaces are configured so as to improve conditions within the urban fabric. They are designed to create favorable microclimates, offer opportunities for recreation, provide natural drainage and more. The building sector is one of the largest consumers of energy, water and materials. Significant savings are achieved by adaptation to local conditions, setting requirements for the building envelope and systems configuration and implementing passive design. Energy and daylight simulations with state of the art tools are performed to guide design decisions.
