At NDY, we acknowledge that buildings have a significant environmental impact. It is estimated that the built environment is responsible for 40% of the world’s carbon emissions. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change also considers the building sector to offer the most cost effective opportunities for carbon emission reduction.
As building services engineers we have both great responsibilities and opportunities. We are well-placed to work with clients to minimise inefficiencies and deliver more environmentally friendly outcomes.
NDY does much more than just analyse energy efficiency; we assess satisfaction, well-being and productivity and can assist in delivering cultural change. Our services extend to developing new designs and ‘greening’ existing buildings.
Our specialist Ecologically Sustainable Development staff work with clients to resolve sustainability issues. But our commitment is much broader than groups of specialists; all of our people understand and are committed to excellence in sustainable design.
Our commitment to sustainability set us apart from others in our industry. We don’t just watch from the sidelines. NDY is an active participant in the search for new ways to measure sustainable outcomes. We contribute to industry events and invest heavily in research and development.
NDY will remain committed to the development of sustainable solutions and consider energy efficiency to be consistent with cost effectiveness. We embrace sustainability for the benefit of ourselves, our clients and the world in which we live.
