Quantifying Outdoor Thermal Comfort
International Building Services and Environmental Engineers
We are an international team of building services engineers, environmental designers and lighting designers focused on delivering sustainability in the built environment.
We have been designing “green” buildings for 20 years and have evolved a team with the broad range of complementary skills that are essential to the design of high performance buildings of the future.
