Buildings have a significant impact on the environment resulting from the emissions of gases contributing to global warming and acid rain.  These emissions arise from the burning of fuel used in buildings.  The construction of buildings and the materials used affect the world's ecology, climate and resources.				Ainsley Gommon Architects are also committed to sound environmental practice in our business and we operate an accredited Environmental Management System to ISO 14001.   Please read our Environmental Policy
The challenge of improving the thermal performance of buildings and reducing their environmental impact will require that clients are encouraged to involve themselves in important strategic decisions.  The Architect's role is important in enabling this to happen.
Ainsley Gommon Architects promote energy efficient design by using an integrated approach that embraces siting, built form, building fabric, services, landscape and the Standard Assessment Procedure (SAP) and National Home Energy Rating (NHER) scheme.				Sustainable design : Drybridge Gardens
Avoiding wasteful working practices is important to ensuring efficient construction methods, buildings and relationships.  Ainsley Gommon Architects have been involved in a number of Partnered projects and are advocates of Partnering for procurement as part of an overall strategy for improving environmental standards in design and construction.
