High performance buildings
Integrated design that optimizes sustainability
High performance building design
High performance design is a collaborative approach to designing buildings that achieves high quality internal environments and improves energy performance to optimize environmental and social outcomes across the life cycle.
Through integrating design practices from the outset of a project, we can maximize the performance of a building across a number of key attributes:
- Total carbon optimization
- Disaster resistant
- Improved safety and security
- Accessibility and integration with place
- Cost efficiencies
- Optimized functionality
- Reduced risk
Our global integrated design studio brings together the best people, ideas, technical expertise and digital solutions from across our network. We design new and refurbish tall towers, always striving to advance high performance outcomes for our clients.
We focus on optimizing environmental and social outcomes, which is underpinned by our unique digital design and delivery model.
