In a recent Environmental Business Review APAC article, Matthew Carlisle, Sustainability Associate Director, shared his insights on the benefits of hybrid cooling, its adaptability across Asia, and why we are fans of this approach. Hybrid cooling combines traditional air conditioning with fans, enabling higher temperature set points and significant energy savings. It enhances comfort, reduces operational costs, and extends the lifespan of HVAC systems. As we pursue net zero carbon in the built environment, adopting hybrid cooling can play a vital role in our decarbonisation efforts.

Is power or water best for cooling a data centre?   That's what Andrew Livesey examines in his latest blog, which is available to read now. Cooling is vital for data centres, but location, sustainability goals, and AI-driven workloads drive the choice between the solutions.   Read the full blog now:   #CriticalSystems #DataCentres #Cooling #Sustainability https://lnkd.in/gmyqARqq

Barton Park, Banksia (Bidjigal Country) has been transformed from an old sporting field into Bayside Council (NSW)’s largest community sporting and recreational hub. All floodlights were designed to significantly reduce upward light spill benefitting neighbouring residents, the CASA Regulations and the local wildlife. Projectors were used to illuminate the stadium, highlighting its structure and contours, while safety by design principles ensured that users feel safe within the park. Bollards along pathways and solar light poles were installed to enhance pedestrian access and sustainability.

In Part 4 of our ‘World Green Building Week: Insights into the ESG Landscape’ series, we delve into the insights shared by Belinda Morgan, who facilitated the thought-provoking discussion on the disruptive impacts of climate change and sustainability on natural, economic, and social systems. Belinda Morgan, Partner, commented, "There's a real desire to make a difference and move this forward." Watch her full takeaways from the session below. #WorldGreenBuildingWeek #ESGLandscape 

As the year comes to a close, many asset owners will be reflecting on the previous 12 months and asking themselves what opportunities lie ahead in 2025 for improving ESG performance.   In this month’s insights article for GRESB, Cundall’s Katarina Persson tackles this question head on, reflecting on standout trends from GRESB’s global results data and identifying key areas where, those with the right strategies in place, will have a range of opportunities to deliver measurable and meaningful impact. Whether it’s turning climate and nature-related risk reporting into positive progress or driving greater social value, 2025 will be packed with change for our industry.  If you are new to GRESB reporting or are keen to discuss strategies to improve your score in 2025 and beyond, get in touch with our team. #ESG #GRESB

As #Movember comes to a close, our Singapore team has done it again and raised over $1300 in support of men’s health. The team not only sporting a new look with their Mustaches, but have been driving awareness for men’s health issues. Starting important conversations and supporting each other by sharing stories and raising money to support this vital cause. A special shout out to Joanna Goh who did a made-to-order cake sale (to ensure there was no food waste!) and donated all proceeds to Movember. Let’s keep the conversation going and help change the face of men’s health! #MentalHealth #Wellbeing #SelfCare #HealthMatters

What better way is there to reflect on this year than with lovely company, overlooking St. Paul’s Cathedral?   Many thanks to our clients and other friends who joined our Cundall team in London for festivities and to close out a successful 2024 and step into 2025. We hope you enjoyed the evening, and we are looking forward to another collaborative and inspiring year ahead! ✨

What if we could predict a building’s energy performance in seconds, saving time and making smarter design choices right from the beginning?     Our latest blog explores the exciting potential of parametric modeling and machine learning to accelerate early design decisions. By training models on vast data sets, we’ve taken the first steps towards creating tools that can predict energy efficiency almost instantaneously. These innovative methods underscore the need for collaborative efforts and data-driven approaches to create buildings that are adaptable, efficient, and resilient.     As the authors highlight, “To make meaningful strides towards carbon neutrality and comply with increasingly stringent EU standards, we need to look beyond simple fixes and instead turn to powerful, data-driven tools.”    Discover how these advancements are shaping the future of sustainable design.
