Sustainability

You're going to hear the term sustainability more and more. Especially in relation to office design and fit out. Recent Carbon Trust research revealed that non-domestic buildings account for 18% of the UK's carbon emissions. Everyone is waking up to the fact that they have to reduce their carbon footprints to address the impact we're all having on the planet and it's environment.

Sustainable design is not just about using sustainable materials like wood from sustainable forests, or recycled plastic, it's also about making use of daylight and air, using energy efficient technology and materials that don't give off high levels of CO² or harmful chemicals.

It is a common misconception that designing and fitting out a sustainable office is a lot more expensive than a conventional office. This isn't necessarily the case and in the long run it can save you money on things like energy bills. It will also boost productivity and creativity too as your workforce will be working in a more natural, cleaner environment. And when you consider that Office Blueprint can design and fit out your sustainable office, we can guarantee you will get value for money and cost certainty.

Office Blueprint are a CarbonNeutral company and without trying to appear 'holier than thou', we make sure that all our partners and our suppliers adhere to environmental guidelines too. We feel it's important to take into consideration where our furniture and fittings are manufactured and also how far parts have had to travel in order to complete a task chair for example.

It's not always easy trying to reduce our carbon footprints but now companies have a chance to be sustainable and more profitable!
