Green Building and Sustainability

Green Building Techniques

  • Consider environmental impact when designing.

  • Make sure to utilize green-building technologies.

  • Design Residential/Non-Residential buildings that are energy-efficient.            

  • Prioritize Natural Ventilation and Solar Energy.

Sustainable Design

  • Sustainable Design involves the practice of building design that considers its positive impact on the environment while achieving and maintaining the goals of energy efficiency, durability, and enhancing the safety, comfort, and well-being of building occupants.

  • When adopting the principles of sustainability in our designs, we make an active contribution to reducing energy consumption. We also help to reduce CO2 emissions associated with project completion and construction, with the goals of reaching a zero-carbon community goal.

Architectural Design Approach for Sustainability

  • Optimize site procurable. 

  • Reduce non-renewable energy use and minimize waste.

  • Use environment-friendly products/reduce negative economic and environmental impacts. 

  • Protect and conserve water. Improve indoor air quality and building performance. 

  • Install green roofs (Solar Panel) and sustainable design for the walls.

  • Install energy-efficient (T24 compliant) natural lights and LED systems to reduce energy use.

Biophilic Design: Its Benefits for Buildings’ Occupants

  • Biophilic design is an architectural philosophy that seeks to create buildings and spaces that connect building occupants with nature while enhancing well-being and sustainability.

  • Buildings of this kind can incorporate natural elements into their designs in a variety of ways, such as adding water features (water falls) to the indoor design, taking advantage of natural light by installing skylights and ensuring windows and doors are positioned so that they reflect light and greenery during the day.

  • Building or home design that emphasizes proper ventilation and integrates indoor living areas with the outdoors is a solid architectural sustainability practice that can inspire occupants to adopt an eco-friendly attitude and can influence others to have a positive impact on the environment. 

Main Benefits of Biophilic Spaces for Occupants

  • Foster productivity and overall health.  

  • Environmental sustainability    

  • Increased property value
