Sustainability Insights

As the development sector works to reduce its carbon footprint, energy efficiency is becoming not only required but desired in the construction and operation of large-scale built environments. Knightsbridge has incorporated innovative energy technologies such as District Energy and Deep Water Source Cooling in a variety of projects. In addition to being good stewardship, minimizing long-term reliance on non-renewable energy also reduces capital costs over the building’s lifespan, making the development attractive to investors and tenants both financially and environmentally.

The choice of materials has a direct impact on the health of both the people who use a space and those whose work goes into its building. Knightsbridge’s experience with environmentally preferred products such as cradle-to-cradle and energy-saving materials assures that all projects are developed with both planet and people in mind. We are also experienced in integrating reclaimed materials where possible, not only to build green, but to also bridge the past to the future.

At Knightsbridge, green building begins long before construction starts. Our expertise in site potential optimization and sustainable design supports clients in choosing the right location and plan for a built environment that is environmentally considered from the ground up, during the construction process, and for the people who will live and work in it.
