JHA is committed to Environmentally Sustainable Design (ESD) across the board on all of our projects.
We believe in the following key values:
Simplicity
Providing simple solutions to complex regulatory and rating systems requirements
Efficiency
Improving performance and reducing costs by good design
Innovative
Exploring novel sustainability initiatives bespoke to individual projects
These are the fundamental principles behind our work in the built environment and what makes our Environmentally Sustainable Design (ESD) team get out of bed each day. We believe in striving for elegant passive design solutions as a foundation on all projects in preference to bolt-on ESD Initiatives.
The use of modern sustainable technology should be to complement excellent design and add value to the development, not simply a ‘tick-box’ exercise to meet regulatory requirements.
Our team use a range of analytical techniques and dynamic simulation packages to provide rapid technical insight into the predicted performance of our projects. This allows informed changes to be made early in the design phase to optimise performance whilst the design is still fluid.
Our company personnel include Green Star, ABSA, BREEAM, NABERS and CBD accredited professionals, covering green building rating schemes across the globe and drawing upon the strengths of all of them in our daily work.
