| When kjp approaches any new project sustainability is always at the forefront of our planning process. Below you will find a list of Cross Cutting Issues and Environmental Issues which we use as a guide and marker system to follow and improve upon with each development. |
| |
- Minimise carbon dioxide production from all aspects of construction, management, occupation and demolition, including transport , and incorporate adaptation to climate change impacts
- Build in participatory design and post-occupancy evaluation to inform the design of future sustainable developments
|
| |
- Maximise efficient use of land and buildings in relation to infrastructure requirements and carbon emissions
- Maximise sustainable energy supply and use i.e. renewable energy and energy efficiency
- Minimise waste and maximise recycling both during construction and after occupation, including design for deconstruction/easy alterations in the future.
- Conserve water resources and minimise vulnerability to flood risk
- Minimise polluting emissions to water, air and soil and minimise noise and light pollution
- Maximise use of materials from local and sustainable sources, while minimising embodied carbon emissions in products and materials.
- Protect and enhance biodiversity
