Green building
Achieve LEED and BREEAM goals with externally certified solutions and comprehensive documentation for sustainable projects.
WHY BUILD GREEN?
Contribute to lower CO2 emissions and boost building attractiveness
Green building practices are a key strategy for meeting the challenge of climate change including reduction of CO2 emissions. Investments in energy-saving and other climate-friendly technologies also help create buildings and communities that are healthier places to live and work while helping reduce the risk of sick building syndrome.
At the same time, green building certification offers transparency on the environmentally-friendly credentials of buildings. Possible benefits include lower building operating costs thanks to alternative energy sources, higher building values and returns on investment, and increased rents.
OUR GREEN BUILDING SOLUTIONS CAN HELP YOU OBTAIN UP TO:
LEED points
for healthy and environmentally friendly products
BREEAM points
for indoor air quality, environmental product declarations and responsible sourcing
WELL points
and 3 WELL preconditions for material safety and transparency
DGNB points
