How to make any building future-fit?

 
Cundall has released a five-step guide to optimal building performance, ‘How to make any building future-fit’. Targeted to portfolio owners, investment managers, campus operators, and facility managers, the guide is a practical roadmap to helping buildings benefit from the equivalent of a fitness program to achieve optimum performance.  

From evaluation of current performance and review of existing investment strategies, through to climate resilience, the guide is a practical and elementary first step in achieving building fitness. The guide also outlines the importance of a considered ESG strategy in achieving optimal fitness. 

Building performance can be an indicator of what an asset owner stands for, and can be seen in benchmarking such as the Global Real Estate Sustainability Benchmarks (GRESB). It is also indicative of the ESG concerns of the tenants, which is why properties with high performance ratings, such as NABERS, LEED (O+M), attract higher rents and tend to have tenants who remain in place for longer.

Cundall’s Building Performance Services (BPS) team considers the entire lifecycle of a building. For new projects, the team engages at the initial concept stage and then remains involved through to handover and beyond, provides ongoing performance measurement, verification, and optimisation. The services extend beyond energy to also address water, waste, Indoor Environmental Quality (IEQ), tenant wellbeing, digital building services, and other factors that affect both operational performance and occupant experience.

Cundall is committed to delivering sustainable engineering and design solutions across the built environment and is recently certified carbon neutral by the Carbon Trust. The global business is on track to achieve its goal of being a carbon positive business by no later than 2025.
