Sustainability is a very subjective term and very vast that can be related to many dimensions, like physical, social, economical, welfare and many more dimensions. We generally use it very small to very large contexts. However, when it comes to the development of the building , it is not a very small term and simple consideration as a small deviation from the perfection could impact the environment potentially. Statistics say, over 45% of the carbon emissions in UK are caused from built environments. Not only that, 73% of the domestic emissions in UK are because of the space heating along with the hot water provision. Building construction and demolition cause over 32% of the carbon emission, in the form of landfill waste.

2. What is Sustainability
 Sustainability is a very subjective term and very
vast that can be related to many dimensions, like
physical, social, economical, welfare and many
more dimensions. We generally use it very small
to very large contexts. However, when it comes
to the development of the building , it is not a
very small term and simple consideration as a
small deviation from the perfection could impact
the environment potentially.

3. DEVELOPMENT OF BUILDING
 Statistics say, over 45% of the carbon emissions
in UK are caused from built environments. Not
only that, 73% of the domestic emissions in UK
are because of the space heating along with the
hot water provision. Building construction and
demolition cause over 32% of the carbon
emission, in the form of landfill waste.

4. AIRTIGHTNESS IN BUILDINGS
 Sound very hard, but yes, this is the statistical
data that can’t deny. So, it would be wise for the
owner of the property to think and consider
making the designs at the earliest stages of the
development after standard assessment
procedure considering air tightness in
buildings as the most important factor.
 Yes, designers and contractors do this, but their
knowledge and expertise would be limited to
their experience and hardly can be related to the
environmental factors,

5. SOLUTION FOR BUIDING
REGULATIONS
 done like building regulations conservatory. And
the following question in the mind will be, ‘is
there any quick fix solution, or instant services,
which can make my building to not to be a part
of this carbon emission to a greater extent? Yes,
there is.
 There are a good number of sound testing
companies, which can provide the energy
performance certificates for the proposed or
designed architecture of your building.

6. ENERGY EFFICIENCY IN BUILDING
 They come to your property and assess building
energy performance and give you a clear picture
of the status of energy efficiency in the building.
During the new construction and refurbishment
of the building that already exist need this kind
of assessment.
 The assessment includes many kinds of testing
like building air pressure test, air permeability
test majorly. Then the other testings like air
pressure testing, air leakage testings are done as
a part of air testing services.
