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.
Please feel free to telephone the office for an informal discussion
regarding any of the services we provide.
