After all – happy workers are more productive and perform better too. When it’s both functional and comfortable, your employees are set for success.

This solution can save as much as 15% of structural material and it also speeds up construction thanks to its simpler geometry. For example, opting for cantilevered slabs instead of having columns at the perimeter, results in thinner floor plates, saves edge beams and increases the overall span with the same number of columns. To immediately solve for ways to reduce the quantity of these materials used, there are different construction techniques that can be explored. Often times, these materials, such as steel and concrete, have a large environmental footprint (3). Reduce the amount of structural materials by optimizing a structural gridĪ large amount of construction materials are used to build the core and structure of the building itself. Higher profit can be obtained by either lowering construction and operational costs or increasing developer’s income by creating higher value.īased on my experience with working on office buildings of different scales at TIBA Architect Studio, Budapest, this article reviews ten key actions to improve early design decisions.ġ. Optimizing profit is equally important.Focusing on how we create healthier environments in buildings is beneficial because people-oriented workplaces motivate their employees to do their best, and it increases recruiting potential.ĭesign efficient and profitable buildings Our physical and social environment have bigger impact on our well-being than, for example, genetics, lifestyle or even the health care system (1). Our health is greatly influenced by the surrounding built environment, and is where we spend around 90% of our life.The good news is that a significant part of our project’s carbon footprint can be reduced at conceptual phases of design by implementing simple yet intelligent architectural solutions. The key question is which conceptual decisions have the biggest impact on our project and how can we achieve a sustainable project without expensive add-ons later? Since buildings are responsible for half of the world energy consumption and contribute with nearly 40% of global greenhouse gas emissions, our priority must be to cut CO2 emissions.
