Environmental and Sustainability
At chapmanbdsp we integrate technical environmental principles into our creative engineering design. We believe the days of considering a sustainability department as a specialist service or an add-on have long passed.
Our environmental consultants are embedded into every delivery team across the business, creating a network of talented individuals who sit alongside the engineers to ensure passive and environmentally conscious design remain at the heart of each project from inception to delivery. We also have the agility to create project specific teams from across that network to tackle environmental design led projects, from architectural competitions to city-scale masterplans.
With varied backgrounds in architecture, environmental sciences and engineering, our consultants are well versed in navigating the constantly shifting landscape of planning and policy, utilising advanced building physics to shape buildings and neighbourhoods, achieving environmental certification to celebrate achievements and creating spaces that promote health and wellbeing.
First and foremost, we consider ourselves creative designers, tasked with finding solutions to protect ourselves from everything the changing climate can throw at us, whilst ensuring we tread as lightly as possible, minimising our impact on the planet.
