DOING THE RIGHT THING
ZERO CARBON
Lean
Lean technologies such as LED lighting, daylight & occupancy sensors, heating and cooling set point control, mixed mode ventilation and mechanical heat recovery ventilation all help to reduce any project’s energy demand.
Clean
Clean technologies such as ground and air source heat pumps, chilled beams and thermal storage are used to exploit local energy sources, supplying energy efficiently and cleanly by connecting to district heating networks.
Green
Green technologies work together to maximise opportunities for renewable energy by producing, storing and using renewable energy on-site from technologies such as solar panels, solar thermal heating, green roofs and even wind power.
Let’s provide a greener future together
With more and more emphasis on carbon and the choices we make, it’s important we work together and act now
A vision to do better
It all starts with a vision to do better and we know that everyone wants to do the right thing.
Knowing your vision from the start is key and allows us to design in the most efficient and cost-effective way to meet your needs.
We are partnered with leading sustainable design experts to ensure that all of our buildings are lean, clean & green.
Think lean, clean & green
As well as choosing high-performance building fabrics we also look to leverage our ‘lean, clean & green’ ethos.
By incorporating lean approaches & technologies such as DfMA, LED lighting, daylight controls and mechanical heat recovery ventilation; innovative clean technologies such as air or ground source heat pumps and renewable green technologies such as solar panels and wind turbines we can create net zero in operation spaces.
Monitoring energy demands
Throughout the use of the building, it’s important that it is sustainable which is why the use of the ‘lean, clean & green’ technologies along with the way the building is designed is fundamental to achieving net zero energy consumption.
Continually monitoring your energy demands with the use of smart controls and specialist systems provides the control you need long after you’ve moved in.
Why does it matter?
Reduce the impact of
Climate change
Greenhouse gas emissions are changing our planet with increasing sea levels, melting the polar ice caps and reducing wild habitats for the animals and plants that live within them. But it’s not too late. We have a greater understanding, data to learn from and a carbon conscious to act upon. We are in an important part of history and it’s the actions we take today, that will lead us into a greener future.
Increase
Public health
We’ve all experienced the effects of our carbon impact… from extreme weather conditions to high levels of pollution in the air and water. Reducing GHG emissions will lessen the likelihood and severity of these extreme weather events across the globe, will improve air and water quality for all, maintain biodiversity, and in turn, support a healthy food supply.
at the heart is always
Sustainability
With sustainability at the heart, we continually innovate and challenge our thinking to ensure we meet the needs of today, without compromising the needs of our future generations and the planet.
All of our materials are sourced from sustainable and certified sources coupled with our net zero energy design, the operational costs of our buildings will be minimal to zero and for some, will even earn money with the surplus energy generated from incorporated green technologies.
The time to act is now
Do the right thing!
Reducing our carbon impact is now a worldwide emergency for many reasons. From reducing the catastrophic effects of global warming to improving public health, we’re all responsible for the effects of our actions.
If we don’t act now, there will be irreversible damage for future generations but together, we can unlock the challenges ahead to leave a positive impact on our world for generations to come.
Let us guide you to achieve net zero energy in operation
The value and benefits
- Minimal running costs
- Wider health benefits
- Engaging environments
- Rapid construction
- Our future generations
- A thriving planet
- Leading the way
Designing with net zero energy in mind allows us to ensure a sustainable future for generations and eliminate demand from the traditional sources of energy we use today. Not only is this better for your budget, it will also go a long way to playing your part in eradicating the burning of fossil fuels, and releasing large amounts of CO2 and greenhouse gases which are detrimental to our planet.
We are proud to say that we don’t use ANY fossil fuel systems in our buildings.
Using net zero construction methods, NZB’s controlled factory environment also means the team benefit from safer working conditions, away from tough external elements and with improved mental wellbeing.
As precision engineering takes centre stage, along with a greater understanding of our carbon impact, we create high-quality, engaging environments with greater air quality, reduced noise and improved access to daylight, all of which have a positive impact on our wider health and wellbeing.
Knowing how we use the spaces in which we learn, work and live is key to ensuring we create engaging environments that make us happier, healthier and ultimately more productive.
With the highest quality of spaces being achieved in every sector, you can be sure to provide meaningful learning experiences, increased focus and encourage high performance for all your occupants.
The speed in which we can deliver your new net zero environment, not only allows you to move in sooner, but also reduces the impact we have in your community and on the local environment.
With certainty of programme your budget remains on target and our impact on site with construction activity is minimal.
Ensuring that the decisions we make today, don’t compromise the needs of our future generations is vital for a world in which we all thrive. With the rise of energy prices, carbon impacts on humanity and skills shortages we must start to think long-term.
We can change the future, today!
The natural world is changing all around us and not for the better. Our wild spaces are in retreat due to our actions and not taking accountability for them. Today, we have the best data, technology and knowledge to enable us to do more.
Let’s think long term, so that our planet can thrive, not just survive.
We all want to do the right thing. Most of us have a carbon conscience. We can all change our behaviour, but it takes a special kind of person to make a difference.
