Sustainability + Net Zero

Our Approach

Our integrated design approach addresses the inter-relationship between environmental responsibility, resource efficiency, comfort, community development, and the economics of building construction and operation. We consciously make choices based on efficiency of systems, local proximity of materials and services, minimal waste production, life-cycle economics, and overall community well-being to best serve our clients and the environment.

Our experience has shown that it is possible to address high-performance cost barriers and deliver green projects that add value and improve the health and wellbeing of both building occupants and the community.

Our Commitment

Number TEN’s Net Zero Knowledge Community

The Number TEN Net Zero Knowledge Community has been established to help provide clients with high performing, resilient buildings to address climate change and rising energy costs.

The Knowledge Community’s Mission:

  • Contribute meaningfully towards the carbon reduction targets outlined by all levels of Government and as set out in the AIA 2030 challenge.
  • Deliver evidence-based solutions rooted in life-cycle costing for innovative, high-performance buildings.
  • Design buildings and spaces that improve occupant health and wellbeing.

What We Do:

Some of the initiatives we have undertaken include ongoing data tracking to chart our projects modelled and actual energy performance, the annual measurement and management of our own organizational carbon footprint, the development of in-house capability in early energy modelling, embodied carbon and daylight analysis, along with ongoing advocacy and sustainable design education.
