At Local, creating residential communities where social and environmental sustainability is a part of everyday life, not an optional extra. We're transparent about our sustainability targets and ratings. It sets us up with a clear plan. Ensuring we keep operating in the green, so our planet is too. We're aiming for: 🌟 7.5 stars NatHERS rating: We're committed to a 7.5-star average for energy efficiency, meaning your home stays comfortable year-round with less energy. ♻️ 4.5 Star NABERS Energy rating: Our new projects target 4.5 stars to keep energy use low in shared spaces—so you can enjoy the solar-heated pool guilt-free. This rating is awarded after the building is complete and energy use can be assessed. 🌟 5 star Green Star Buildings: All new Local projects will target achievement of a minimum 5 Star Green Star rating. The proof is in the pudding, with our inagural project, Local: Kensington achieving: 🌟 7.8 stars NatHERS rating. 🌟 6 star Green Star under the Design & As Built v1.3 Rating Tool.

Build Green, Live Better 🙌 Our planet is crying out for sustainable solutions, and the construction industry is answering the call. Green building is no longer a luxury but a necessity. By adopting eco-friendly practices, we can create healthier, more energy-efficient, and environmentally responsible structures. From the materials we use to the energy systems we install, every choice matters. Incorporating renewable energy sources like solar and wind power, optimizing water usage, and selecting non-toxic materials are just a few ways to build greener. The benefits extend beyond environmental protection. Green buildings often boast improved indoor air quality, reduced energy costs, and increased property values. Let's embrace a future where construction harmonizes with nature. By choosing green building, we invest in our planet's well-being and secure a brighter future for generations to come. It's time to build responsibly and leave a positive footprint. hashtag #bosstechengineering hashtag #sustainable hashtag #construction hashtag #gogreen

Shaping tomorrow starts with smart choices today. Carbon management drives construction forward, blending CO₂ capture with innovation to balance progress and sustainability. #WeBuildGreen #Sustainability #CarbonSmart

CLEAN ALPHA: SUSTAINABLE BUILDINGS According to the UN Environmental Programme, 37% of global emissions today come from buildings, both residential and commercial. Future buildings will be structures that minimise their environmental impact and enhance the health and wellbeing of their occupants. They will use less energy, water, and materials, and produce less waste and greenhouse gas emissions than conventional buildings. They will also provide better indoor air quality, thermal comfort, and natural lighting. As embodied by the trademark Pink Floyd tune, these buildings will not just be another brick in the wall. Rather, with their embedded efficiencies, sustainable buildings will lower utility bills, increase property value, and reduce maintenance costs. The drive towards efficiency in the building sector has the potential to create new jobs and stimulate economic growth, as these require more skilled labor and innovation than conventional buildings and offer interesting long-term opportunities for investors. We talk about these themes in our latest Clean Alpha. Read it here ⬇️ https://lnkd.in/dumK88qG

Approximately 37% of global #CarbonEmissions come from the building sector. 🌍 #ClimateChange is a global issue, and the building sector has a critical role to play. It's not just about ticking boxes and meeting regulatory requirements – it's about being part of the solution to a global crisis. We know that sustainability is no longer a nice-to-have, but a must-have in our industry. It's time for us to think differently about how we design, build, and operate our buildings. We need to prioritise sustainable materials, reduce waste and energy consumption, and incorporate innovative technologies that minimise our environmental impact. #Sustainability #ConstructionIndustry
