Buro Happold’s building services solutions aim to deliver best value at the lowest capital cost. Our approach is to influence the form, fabric and functionality of the development at an early stage in the design process. By carefully analysing the building envelope, orientation, façade engineering and spatial layout, we can reduce energy consumption – and running costs – through lower solar gain, heat loss and air infiltration.
Our innovative design solutions embrace the latest technologies such as energy-saving facades, recycling systems, solar water heating, wind turbines and photovoltaic cells to improve the building’s performance and sustainability. Integrated building services systems create a balanced and controllable internal environment: natural ventilation, heating and lighting systems are combined with active systems such as air conditioning to provide a high level of comfort and operational efficiency.
