Environmentally Sustainable Design (ESD)
Environmentally Sustainable Design is now an expectation for any new development, building or structure. It's a critical aspect of designing the communities of the future to minimise our environmental and ecological impact.
Environmentally Sustainable Design provides affordable living outcomes, improved comfort levels and environmental benefits. TMK has developed considerable expertise in ESD that complies with statutory and voluntary certification schemes and increases the overall market value of the project.
Environmentally Sustainable Design (ESD) principles aim to improve the health and comfort of building occupants whilst minimising negative impacts on the natural environment during construction and throughout the lifecycle of the building.
Our ESD Consultants work collaboratively with architects and designers in the early stages of design to improve the projects environmental performance without increasing costs.
Environmentally Sustainable Design is essential to good design. By incorporating ESD in the early stages of a project, you increase the opportunity to make a sustainable difference and realise the greatest savings. Using ESD principles, we can maximise a building's performance by leveraging the passive environmental potential.
Our goal is to help clients make informed decisions on different forms of energy and methods to minimise energy and water use, reduce greenhouse gas emissions and improve quality of life.
