More InfoWhen a building is constructed, occupied and maintained, the effect on the environment can be gauged in terms of an 'ecological footprint' which indicates the demand on the Earth's resources as compared with our planets productive capacity. The productive area of the Earth's surface available to supply all our food, energy, and infrastructure requirements corresponds to 1.9 hectares for each person on the planet. In 1999,
Australian's alone consumed 7.58 hectares each. This is clearly unsustainable. Through our design and building practices we hope to achieve an ecological footprint which is significantly lower than that of conventional volume building in Australia, as a positive
contribution towards reducing greenhouse gas
emission levels which unfortunately tarnish our
country's international reputation at present.
