What we offer
Science: The systemic study of the structure and behaviour of the physical and natural world through observation, experimentation, and the testing of theories against the evidence.
Sustainability: Defined as meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs (reference Bruntland). Strictly applying this definition to building is difficult because we currently use fossil fuels and other resources for most of our buildings. Sustainable Buildings are those that make a significant step toward achieving the goal of sustainability relative to a facility of its type that would otherwise be constructed or operated as expected in its application.
