SUSTAINABILITY & DESIGN SERVICE/RESEARCH

Sustainability has been a central theme of JAD Studio work. To remain at the forefront of advances in sustainable design, our Research and Development Group includes a multi-disciplinary Sustainability Forum and dedicated Sustainability coordinators. We consider environmental performance holistically: from the embodied energy of materials to life-time energy performance. In many of our projects, we have pioneered renewable energy solutions.

Our design decisions are always informed by detailed analysis. We invest in innovation and have been at the forefront in developing new design tools. Over a period of time we have pioneered technological advances in our working methods, and worked closely with industry to develop the application of new materials and construction techniques in individual projects around the world. Our commitment to research into sustainable environments has allowed us to bring our expertise to bear on an unprecedented range of projects, at a variety of scales; and our post-occupancy research allows us to refine design solutions to ensure long-term flexibility.
