Launched in April 2008, the Aedas Green Book is our reference guide to sustainable practice and a summary of our goals and strategies to achieve them. Developed by Aedas Sustainability, it is being adopted by the practice’s 11 offices throughout the UK. The Aedas Green Book provides a showcase for Aedas projects and practice procedures.
The Aedas online Green Tool is accessible to employees at all times though the practice’s knowledge management intranet, as it supports architects’ workflow, coordination with consultants and the sharing of project experience across design teams.
Aedas Green Book and online Tool are complemented by Design Guides that assist designers in communicating sustainability and incorporating passive and active systems for sustainable design. They also provide guidance on specifying sustainable materials, construction and compliance with legislation and standards. Case studies illustrate these principles applied in practice.
Summarising our industry-recognised strategy, Aedas Green Book is an annual snapshot of our progress and the comprehensive service and research resources we offer.
