Sustainable development is an intelligent investment. With the increased awareness of global warming issues it is clear that the evolution of building legislation will require higher and higher standards of energy efficiency. The green solution nearly always involves higher capital investment but the long term rewards are worth considering for more than just the moral obligation that we have to future generations.

  • Government tax offsetting initiatives with subsidised ‘green’ energy installations.
  • Lower functioning costs.
  • Avoidance of future ‘ecotaxing’ or ‘ecopenalties’.
  • Protection from future energy price hikes.
  • Reduction of the costs of ‘sick building syndrome’ effects on employee comfort.
  • Maintaining resale value in the face of obligatory building energy efficiency evaluation.
