COMPANY PROFILE<br />

ACHIEVING SUSTAINABILITY THROUGH DESIGN<br />

At B&W our sustainable business model ensures sustainability<br />

is at the heart of our work which we believe will not only make<br />

our business stronger in the long run but also those of our<br />

clients. Sustainable business models promote and invariably<br />

produce tangible economic, environmental and social benefits.<br />

Through our in-house technical experts our analytical<br />

skills bring focus to strategies at the outset, answering<br />

the individual aims of a project, business or market<br />

sector.<br />

A number of our projects have left a sustainable legacy<br />

such as the Horizon Building in Delhi, India which<br />

achieved LEED Gold and the Urban Planning Council<br />

Headquarters in Abu Dhabi which achieved a LEED<br />

Platinum rating.<br />

We use thermal modelling software very early in the<br />

design process to establish accurate building<br />

loads that are within 5% of the final building loads. This<br />

also enables sustainable design decisions to be<br />

made with confidence when assessing options<br />

and informing strategies.<br />

We hold sustainable workshops on projects with our<br />

in-house technical experts to ensure the most<br />

appropriate strategies are proposed. These workshops<br />

include updates on latest technologies and design<br />

codes and lessons learned from previous projects.<br />

As part of our ISO Accreditation, all our staff are<br />

provided with industry-leading training which includes<br />

our CIBSE Low Carbon Consultants and Level 5<br />

Energy Assessors.<br />

Our diverse practical experience strengthens our ability<br />

to help clients with their sustainability goals and<br />

policies and achieve legislative compliance or planning<br />

permissions by addressing sustainability.<br />
