This, coupled with more cost-effective and sustainable operations is a great place to start.<\/p>\n<p>But our attentions shouldn\u2019t end there.<\/p>\n<p>When considering <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/energy-news\/sustainability-built-environment\/88403\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">sustainability within the built environment<\/a>, it\u2019s important to look beyond the physical elements of construction and examine how we create commercial spaces which fit the bill in terms of function, form, longevity, and wellbeing.<\/p>\n<p>By striving to create developments which not only create a better future for the client, the building, and its occupants, it\u2019s possible to play a role in protecting the future of our planet, too.<\/p>\n<h3>Sustainable supply chain in construction<\/h3>\n<p>Of course, the ability to develop a sustainable design solution is only ever going to be as strong as those setting the brief, outlining the budget, and making the final decisions. But as \u2018net zero\u2019 ambitions make their way onto corporate agendas; it is the collective responsibility of all who operate in the built environment to be that \u2018critical friend\u2019 and challenge a brief if there\u2019s a way to make a project more sustainable.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s why, rather than adding such a sentiment as a \u2018nice to have\u2019, there should be a sustainability target set at the very start \u2013 with all parties bought into the strategy and rationale behind it. And it should be revisited, tweaked, and referred to throughout the project roll-out.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, that\u2019s in an ideal world. But a great place to start is by making the case to source materials and labour responsibly \u2013 and preferably, locally. Negating the requirement to ship supplies across vast oceans in a bid to keep costs down, will help to reduce the emissions associated with \u2018getting\u2019 the infrastructure to site, but also means any product issues can be rectified quickly, too.<\/p>\n<p>With a vast pool of sub-contractors to choose from \u2013 in most locations \u2013 it pays to be picky. As well as sourcing endorsement from \u2018happy customers\u2019, look for proven eco-credentials too, particularly when it comes to recycling, travel, and the firm\u2019s own procurement.<\/p>\n<p>Naturally, there will always be cases where a development is driven entirely by budget and ambition \u2013 rather than longer-term implications of the design \u2013 or when it\u2019s simply impossible to procure goods in any other fashion.<\/p>\n<p>But, even if you are surrounded by people for whom ethical construction sits at the very bottom of the pile, it is still possible to make a difference. Examine your own carbon footprint, implement change if necessary, and be sure to highlight your own \u2018green credentials\u2019 as part of any bids.<\/p>\n<h3>Sustainability is about more than bricks and mortar<\/h3>\n<p>When considering sustainability within commercial interiors, it\u2019s important to look beyond the physical elements of construction, too. The past two years have given workers a \u2018reset\u2019 when it comes to where they carry out their jobs \u2013 and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/planning-construction-news\/future-of-the-office\/100224\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">office space<\/a> needs to be sympathetic to the needs and wants of those who use it.<\/p>\n<p>While 2020\u2019s overnight shift to homeworking was the start of a complete shake-up in terms of the commercial landscape it forced employees to consider what they want from their career too \u2013 as well as where they want their workspace to be.<\/p>\n<p>The ambition to curate holistic design is on the up \u2013 and nowhere more prominently than within the office environment. Be it quiet zones for focused work, or relaxed areas which mimic the comforts of home, the new era of the workplace brings with it a very different set of specifics.<\/p>\n<p>Although it\u2019s not an approach which suits every corporate entity, many organisations have woken up to the need to offer sustainable solutions not just in the bricks-and-mortar sense, but via the attitudes and environment they offer colleagues.<\/p>\n<h3>Building sustainability into your HR and operational strategies<\/h3>\n<p>Going back to an earlier point around sustainability being more than simply striving to become carbon net zero, we mustn\u2019t forget that colleagues expect the firms they work for to show their eco-commitments in all facets of company behaviour too.<\/p>\n<p>Including a nod to sustainability in your company\u2019s value proposition should hopefully be a given \u2013 but bringing those to life rests solely on the shoulders of the people who live and breathe them. Therefore, building your recruitment strategy around a desire to collaborate with those who share your way of thinking, is key.<\/p>\n<p>Company leaders should not simply look to fill vacancies with people who have the right qualifications, experience, or background \u2013 there are plenty of capable project managers, architects, and developers out there. Rather, make it a priority to employ rounded individuals who are open-minded about bringing something new to the table and driving positive change.<\/p>\n<p>By sourcing talent which truly embraces the opportunity to push the envelope, while challenging clients to genuinely think about the way they intend to use a space, it\u2019s possible to start bringing about meaningful change.<\/p>\n<p>Simply recruiting someone based on their \u2018green\u2019 interests isn\u2019t where investment should start and end, though. Offering continued training around what it means to be sustainable to colleagues \u2013 perhaps through CPD-accredited courses \u2013 will pay dividends in the long run.<\/p>\n<p>Paper-free offices are nothing new, but technology allowed many architecture, design, and construction firms to maintain some semblance of \u2018business as usual\u2019 during the height of the pandemic.<\/p>\n<p>Switching lengthy proposal documents for concise PDFs, embracing 360-degree photographic reports, and implementing virtual walkthroughs and handovers are all solutions which are here to stay. And, to take that one step further in terms of operations, consider the potential of using green power to heat offices, reducing non-essential travel, and offsetting the environmental cost of commuting \u2013 both in-country and overseas. This can be done via initiatives which help to plant trees across the globe \u2013 such as TravelPerk \u2013 alongside a sustainability \u2018code of conduct\u2019 to ensure everyone upholds company commitments.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, as a global population \u2013 never mind industry \u2013 we still have a long way to go. But as the people behind buildings that might outlive us all, it\u2019s our responsibility to create them with the future firmly in mind.<\/p>\n<div class=\"mk-custom-module-container\">\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kirsty Shearer, development director at Agilit\u00e9 Solutions looks at how we can shape the sustainable future of commercial design.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":17,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[304],"tags":[702,594,172727,701,465],"stakeholder_rel_tag":[],"contributor_rel_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-106167","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-planning-construction-news","7":"tag-architecture","8":"tag-building-design","9":"tag-featured","10":"tag-supply-chain","11":"tag-sustainable-construction"},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.9 (Yoast SEO v26.9) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Sustainable office spaces: What the future holds for commercial design<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Kirsty Shearer, development director at Agilit\u00e9 Solutions looks at how we can shape the sustainable future of commercial design\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/planning-construction-news\/commercial-design\/106167\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Sustainable office spaces: What the future holds for commercial design\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Kirsty Shearer, development director at Agilit\u00e9 Solutions looks at how we can shape the sustainable future of commercial design\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/planning-construction-news\/commercial-design\/106167\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Planning, Building &amp;
