GREEN BUILDING SOLUTIONS

 

Bureau Veritas works collaboratively with owners, architects, engineers and general contractors to design and build high performance green buildings.

BUSINESS CHALLENGE

Ahead of both industry and transportation, built environments account for a significant portion of all energy expenditures and offer the largest potential for efficiency improvement. Energy efficiency as well as corporate environmental and social responsibility are some of the drivers transforming the real estate market today, furthermore, global pressure and recent government initiatives have increased scrutiny of corporate energy use.

 

Urban populations are creating long-term demand for high-quality, low-carbon buildings in a healthy urban environment. Pressure is mounting on building owners and managers to minimize their corporate environmental impacts. Designing or retrofitting buildings to be energy-efficient and implementing tailor-made energy efficiency management plans can result in substantial reductions in energy consumption and costs.
