Applying sustainability principles to developments like One East Point not only helps mitigate the climate crisis but also creates new green jobs that aid the global economic shift towards carbon reduction.
Our proposal is designed to be sustainable in both construction and completion by prioritising the following principles, and by following the ‘Lean, Clean, Green’ approach.
Buildings should reduce the amount of energy they consume to a minimum. Wherever possible, this should be achieved through passive and natural techniques. Leanness also applies to resource efficiency and waste reduction.
Buildings should, wherever possible, use energy and resources that do not further contribute to greenhouse gases and climate change.
Where appropriate, buildings should incorporate technologies that produce renewable energy. These are often more expensive than passive techniques but are especially crucial in promoting efficiency.
