Our team of consultants, designers, scientists and specialist engineers work directly with developers, architects, clients and other design, construction and business professionals to integrate resource efficient and environmentally responsive design into built projects. Our solutions include site and building design, energy and water efficiency and building ecology. Building energy and thermal software modeling. The correct sustainability strategy must be utilized for every project if you want to maximize your sustainable outcomes. We can identify the maximum relevant sustainable design strategy for your building. You cannot have a sustainable design for a facility if you don’t comprehend and utilize the local climate to your advantage. If you don’t design for the actual local climate then you will need energy and resources to make the building comfortable. The right interpretation of this climate knowledge leads to the most appropriate sustainable design strategy. That’s the beginning key to reducing building energy use. Once we comprehend the local climate and what it brings to your building design as healthy as the needed comfort performance criteria we can identify the most suitable sustainable design strategy for the architects and engineers to design to. Our project specific integrated design guides ensures that all the design team is active together and subsequent the same path towards the equivalent required outcome. We use our detailed sustainable design science skills and specific software to identify the superior shading options for your facility. Natural ventilation design is a key segment of our sustainable strategy for new and existing buildings. We design and engineer a range of spontaneous ventilation options including chimney and skylight or window design locations to maximize air flows. Using our selection of world’s best software we can divulge at all designs stages the impact on a building from a range of options. We do labor in water as do a lot of BSD consultants. Our sustainable design strategy expertise will maximize your building’s efficiency ensuring that you last up with a pliable building that is cost effective, comfortable and cheaper to run. We undertake detailed compliance reports as needed after our site inspection. If you spend all the time and effort and cost making your building more sustainable if it is not operated correctly then the outcomes will not be maximized. We undertake commissioning management for your facility either through the design process or for Green Star compliance. We also have the sustainable design science and overall sustainability knowledge skills to aid you improve your building from a sustainability perspective. The climate analysis assisted the architects in designing a building that was best competent to the location that it was in. Once this was identified, VIM started planning a design strategy that would make the building do the work. Vim undertook detailed investigations into the spontaneous ventilation options including thermal chimney design options, thermal comfort diagnostics, compliant solar opportunities as well as water reuse and recycling.
