Sustainability

The disciplines of wind engineering all have the goal of supporting the efficient use of energy and materials, reducing waste, and maintaining a safe, comfortable environment. For decades, this has been the work of CPP. We carry these values forward not because it is now popular to do so, but because it has always been what we do.

 

How do wind engineering services support sustainable design?

  • Air quality services help protect the comfort and health of indoor and outdoor environments and reduce energy waste by ensuring the effective and efficient use of mechanical systems.

  • Wind loads and effects services reduce the amount of materials wasted by overbuilding and allow the design professionals to use only the cladding and structural materials needed to ensure a safe and comfortable building.

  • Renewable energy services support the effective use of non-carbon-based energy and help ensure that the structures that produce renewable energy are designed to account for wind effects, reducing the need for replacement and unnecessary maintenance costs.

  • Safety & comfort services help architects and engineers reduce waste and carbon-based fuel dependency by creating effective natural ventilation systems, building designs that account for smoke and fire behavior, and that promote health, comfort, and productivity indoors and in pedestrian-level areas.

 

Whether you call it green, sustainable, low-carbon foot print, or any other popular term, CPP has supported it since 1981.
