Sustainability as the driving force in every project

From energy to materials: our holistic approach

Our specialised sustainability teams focus on broad and integrated solutions. In the process, we examine, among other things:

• Energy use
• Water management
• The health and well-being of users
• The responsible use of materials

Throughout the design process, we strive to minimise our carbon footprint while maximising the positive impact on the lives of users.

Confident decision-making thanks to unambiguous analyses

Depending on the stage of a construction project, we apply the appropriate analyses and methods to accelerate and optimise the design. With our continuous search for relevant data, figures and images, we provide concrete tools for designers and building owners. This results in clear documentation highlighting the sustainability ambitions and qualities of the design – from the early concept phase to many years after completion.

Our services that make sustainability tangible

Sweco supports sustainability with a wide range of specialised services, including:

• Guidance on building certification such as BREEAM, WELL, GRO, EPB and consistency with the EU taxonomy
• Wind and shade studies
• Daylight and artificial light simulations
• Life cycle assessments (LCA) and advice on materials
• Full-scale circularity analyses
• Dynamic building simulations
• Integrated water management at the site and building level
• Energy concepts and energy audits
• Technical renovation strategies
• Advice on cultural heritage management
• Support during feasibility and competition phases
• Seasonal commissioning

Multidisciplinary collaboration for feasible and future-proof designs

Our experts combine their ambition and knowledge with a realistic view of what is feasible. They work closely with colleagues from other disciplines, such as architecture, stability and MEP, so that sustainable measures are fully interwoven into the design. In doing so, we remain involved throughout the life cycle of the building to ensure a lasting impact.
