We offer real-world input: cutting-edge knowledge of environmental impact, development cost, schedule and occupant needs, centred on what can be achieved at the drawing board.

This typically begins with performance targets for resource consumption and waste minimization, a process that requires close collaboration between the CPGreen team, the project consultants and developer.

We view cost and impact across the life of a building — an approach known as lifecycle costing. This is a long-term perspective of investment and return that goes beyond initial capital investment. We look at operational costs, maintainability, durability of
materials, life expectancy of systems and a building’s potential for re-use.

We offer project-specific information on materials, products and technologies, assessing impact in terms of expenditure, occupant well-being and the environment at large.

For projects that do not require the full spectrum of green services, we offer targeted performance analysis such as daylight reliance and energy use resulting from choices pertaining to facade design.
