...sustainability must be a practical attribute, neither bolted on as a series of ‘clever accessories’ nor so over burdening or complex that it makes the building impractical.

Green thinking
The recent
introduction of Part L regulations and Government grants for the use of new
technologies as well as research into sustainable construction provide the
obligation as well as the incentive, to think green from the initial design
phase of a project.
A sustainable
approach looks at all aspects of the design procurement and construction
process, optimising the approach to provide minimum impact on the future of
economic, environmental and social terms.
Scott Brownrigg believes that a truly
sustainable building can only be achieved through a fully inclusive and
collaborative approach. Design must be
considered as part of the process that influences the sustainability of the
building and needs to be driven by the entire project team from developer and
occupiers' FM to sub-contractors.
