Frank Shaw Associates is committed to the environment and follows the developments of sustainable architecture closely. We endeavour to promote the many long term benefits associated with occupying an environmentally friendly building to our clients on every project. These include:-
- Reduced running costs
- A better standard of living
- Improved occupant health
- A less toxic environment
- A positive company image
We follow a sustainable approach to the design from the outset, and give careful consideration to each building’s orientation, location on the site, layout, fenestration and the specification of construction materials. Working closely with other members of the design team we devise solutions which optimise the use of resources and energy during construction, throughout the life of the building and at its end, without losing sight of the capital cost. These basic principles are applied to any building design.
