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% ( or even 20%) renewable obligation under "Merton Rule" style planning initiatives.

We can help with any of the environmental aspects of your planning application or construction process.
