Sustainable architecture. Collaborative engineering solutions that produce high performance, efficient buildings

Combining energy and resource efficiency, with the creation of light, healthy and spacious interior areas which lead to healthier and more productive lives has been PCD Engineering’s goal since the very start.

As sustainability affects the costs the building produces from the very start, life cycle cost analysis is a wonderful way to find out the impact of your measures, as well as the necessity of implementing new ones.

Today, we will look at what sustainable architecture is and what it achieves, as well as which solutions are best suited for the task.

From start to finish

Sustainable architecture is designed to last you for as long as you need it, meaning its output is consistent with planning and expectations. That allows for precise energy studies and modeling, leading to concrete approximations in terms of resource cost and a more efficient energy and resource system design. Energy audits become an indispensable tool in maximizing efficiency when it comes to sustainable design and development of buildings.

An integrated, well-planned design is the best way to head off on the right foot. The holistic design incorporates many of the disparate elements constituting a building and makes them part of a larger hole. No unforeseen changes or adjustments will be necessary, as everything is planned for – from the start.

Innovative designs

A collaborative approach features a mixture of ideas at its very core. A well-integrated team, specializing in various aspects of planning, construction, and engineering will be a strong contender for the creation of excellent, one-of-a-kind solutions to your daily problems.

Prevent barriers from cropping up, look ahead for any issues, and supply a thorough investigation by the world’s best construction consultants ahead of time. Design, construct and collaborate on systems that are only possible as part of the production from a team of experts with individual specializations, to support your sustainability needs.

Economic impact

Sustainable architecture isn’t only beneficial to the environment – it has a precise economic quality to it. The reduction of waste, conservation of energy and natural resources as well as improvement of productivity and competitiveness are all just some of the benefits. Implementing high-performance and efficient buildings comes with thousands of dollars in terms of savings down the line.

Efficiency is what gives many buildings a competitive edge, and by improving upon the dependence on natural resources, it’s possible to create increasingly self-sufficient systems. Sustainability provides you with the resources your business needs to move ahead, win grants and excel where competition fails, down the line. Excellent future-proofing systems and value propositions are incorporated into the concept.

Indispensable elements

Sustainability in design is primarily based on these factors: energy efficiency, interior climate, building materials, and superior design. It is at once noticeable that the fields are too broad to be neatly integrated by one expert or with one focus. Indeed – collaboration is the most efficient way to cover all these bases and create a building that is sustainable in the truest sense of the word.

And to achieve these tasks, PCD Engineering has spent the past two decades developing and supporting the necessary skill set to achieve sustainable design. Having been awarded many awards in our efforts, as well as being the founders of dozens of environmental initiatives, we have moved towards stewardship of this domain.

Today, we offer engineered solutions to our customers, specifically focused on green building design, performance, and system planning. Excellence, innovation, and quality are what we prize the most – so that our clients can receive the service they deserve. We hope you can join us in constructing a better future.
