Sustainability trends in the marketplace

Businesses and organizations have regulatory pressure to reduce carbon emissions, and consumers increasingly look to brands to be sustainable. In my exciting new role as Currie & Brown's U.S. head of sustainability, I will be spearheading our sustainability and carbon estimating initiatives. My background in construction business intelligence allows me to drive meaningful discussions about embodied carbon and establishing accurate budgets to support our key sustainability goals. These efforts can significantly contribute to understanding our carbon footprint and devising effective solutions to reduce it.

We specialize in carbon assessments and cost calculations to help clients get a better understanding of their embodied carbon impacts and lower their embodied carbon footprint and greenhouse gas emissions. Our lifecycle cost advice optimizes building fabric and component expenses through their lifespan. With expert guidance on LEED standards during planning, design, and construction, we ensure your projects meet top green building criteria. We also advise on the cost and schedule impacts of green strategies, facilitating efficient and sustainable project execution.
