An ESD Firm that specializes in highly efficient designs

The 2019 research of Trivess Moore and colleagues has shown us that the large majority of ESD designers aim for mediocrity in their projects, i.e. buildings are designed to only meet the bare regulatory minimums with no further forethought. This is troubling as Australia’s environmental requirement standards are well behind other developed nations and this attitude of minimizing capital cost at the expense of building efficiency, we believe is the wrong way of approaching design. Instead, research has shown that spending the extra effort on initial optimization during the planning stage yields far greater operational savings during a building’s lifecycle. This is where our firm excels, as our company ethos strives to build more efficient buildings rather than the cheapest and we justify this with the immediate savings seen from using novel building materials, alternative modelling solutions and new approaches to environmentally sustainable design as shown in the research literature.
