6. Sustainable business practices require that we protect the
environment and address the needs of our staff, our clients
and the communities that we serve. But they also help us to
reduce our overall costs and improve profitability. The ‘triple
bottom line’ challenges us to extend the way we account for
the success of our business
BREEAM (Building Research Establishment’s Environmental
Assessment Method) is the world’s leading and most widely
used environmental assessment method for buildings, with
over 115,000 buildings certified and nearly 700,000
registered. It sets the standard for best practice in sustainable
design and has become the de facto measure used to
describe a building’s environmental performance

27. THE EDCM APPROACH
A thorough understanding of the Clients objectives can only be achieved through thorough liaison and discussion with the
Client.
Liaison and communication are key factors in developing the design process: to develop the design and operational briefs.
EDCM have the experience, foresight and communication skills to ensure that the brief is developed and agreed with the Client.
Within the design process EDCM’s primary objective is to ensure that the overall concept of the buildings is established in
respect of its configuration and use: the precise scope and performance of the systems would be defined together with precise
quality control standards in respect of materials and workmanship.
The defined requirements would not be limited to the static performance of the systems so as to maintain good environmental
conditions but would also include a financial commitment to achieving low owning and operating costs within defined
objectives.
