Air Quality:
A holistic approach to health.

Already a vital part of planning applications and the build process, air quality considerations have typically focused on achieving the baseline legal requirements for projects. With an ever increasing understanding that a better air quality environment can promote high levels of health and wellness there is growing demand for air quality services through the design process and through into operation.

Our experience on some of the UK’s most successful wellbeing-centred developments means we can support a project to deliver the many benefits of moving beyond compliance.

Our approach is simple: to provide clear information along with practical, robust and cost-effective solutions. The result is projects that contribute to a safer planet and healthier people.
