How we categorize our projects
Vanilla – The construction process and/or product performance is in compliance with law, regulations, codes and standards.
Green – The construction process or product performance is beyond compliance, but not yet at a point where what is constructed and how it’s constructed can be considered to have near-zero impact.
Deep Green – The construction process and our product performance has a near-zero impact on the environment and thereby Future Proofs our projects.
What does Deep Green look like?
Deep Green is defined by 6 zeros that relate to the priority opportunities for reduction of the environmental impact of our projects, i.e Energy, Carbon, Materials and Water. These zeros are:
- net zero primary energy
- near zero carbon in construction
- zero waste
- zero hazardous materials
- zero unsustainable materials
- net zero water for buildings and zero potable water for construction in civil/infrastructure
