van Heyningen and Haward has always been interested in minimising waste and maximising people’s enjoyment in their environment. Our projects have always revitalised old buildings and made efficient new ones, and tried to reduce energy use and maintenance costs. This has evolved into a much more mature focus on understanding and reducing lifetime carbon emissions as a vital component of our professional responsibility.
As the extent and impacts of the climate collapse become ever clearer, we have sought to become more knowledgeable, and evidence-based, working with software like OneClick and PHPP, and with like-minded colleagues in other disciplines, to understand and advocate alternative solutions to clients and stakeholders.
