Comprehensive Facade Consulting Solutions

Sustainability Consulting

At Heights Consultants, we believe that sustainable design is not just an option, but a responsibility. Our Sustainability Consulting service helps clients create facades that not only look spectacular but also minimize environmental impact and contribute to occupant well-being.

Our Sustainable Design Philosophy

We approach sustainable facade design with a holistic perspective:

Energy Efficiency

Minimizing energy consumption for heating, cooling, and lighting.

Material Responsibility

Selecting materials with low environmental impact and high recyclability.

Occupant Well-being

Enhancing comfort, health, and productivity through biophilic design principles.

Resilience

Designing facades that can withstand and adapt to changing climate conditions.

Circular Economy

Considering the entire lifecycle of the facade, from construction to eventual deconstruction and material reuse.

Our Services

Green Building Certification Support

We provide comprehensive support for various green building certifications:

LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design)
BREEAM (Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Method)
WELL Building Standard
Living Building Challenge
Local green building standards (e.g., Green Mark, NABERS)

Our support includes:

Pre-assessment and feasibility studies
Documentation and submission preparation
Coordination with certification bodies
Performance testing and verification

Passive Design Strategies

We integrate passive design principles to reduce energy demand:

Optimized building orientation and massing
Natural ventilation strategies
Daylighting optimization
Thermal mass utilization
Shading system design

Renewable Energy Integration

We incorporate renewable energy systems into facade design

Building Integrated Photovoltaics (BIPV)
Solar thermal collectors
Wind energy systems for high-rise buildings

Embodied Carbon Analysis and Reduction

We assess and minimize the carbon footprint of facade materials and construction:

Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) studies
Embodied carbon calculations
Low-carbon material selection
Carbon offset strategies

Circular Economy Principles

We apply circular economy thinking to facade design:

Design for disassembly and material recovery
Use of recycled and recyclable materials
Modular design for easy replacement and upgrades
Waste reduction strategies during construction

Biophilic Design Integration

We incorporate nature into facade design to enhance occupant well-being:

Living walls and vertical gardens
Bird-friendly glazing design
Integration of natural materials
Fractal patterns and nature-inspired forms

Water Management

We develop facade systems that contribute to responsible water use:

Rainwater harvesting integration
Greywater recycling systems
Condensation collection from HVAC systems

Advanced Capabilities

Building Performance Simulation

We use advanced modeling tools to optimize sustainable design:

Whole-building energy modeling
Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) for natural ventilation
Daylight and glare simulations

Parametric Sustainability Optimization

We employ parametric design tools to rapidly iterate and optimize facades for sustainability metrics.

Post-Occupancy Evaluation

We conduct studies to verify the performance of completed projects and gather data for future improvements.
