BEST MOMENTS
‘The concept of sustainability can be split into Environmental Sustainability, i.e the ability to enhance the environment and Economic Sustainability, the ability to generate income and employment, and then finally Social Sustainability, the ability to generate human well-being.’
‘It gives us overall better management of the building and the structure after handover. So we’ve got all the base data, so therefore when we monitor through the building management systems we should be able to match reality against the projected view of what we think it should be running at.’
‘Sustainability is multi-faceted and concerns the achievement of a sustainable balance between economic, environmental, and social requirements.’
