Sustainability Advisory
BUILDING A BETTER WORLD.
With a triple bottom line focus, we strive to create a built environment that is environmentally, socially, and economically sustainable.
ENVIRONMENT
High-performance buildings and structures leave minimal impact on the environment, are inherently beautiful, and support community vision.
ECONOMY
Sustainability need not come at the cost of profit. With early integration into the project, we can apply creativity and advanced technology to deliver resilient, sustainable, and cost-effective designs.
SOCIAL
Through focusing on low environmental impact and high-social gain projects, we preserve our freedom of movement in nature. Resilient and adaptable buildings provide stability and peace of mind to their occupants.
SUSTAINABLE PROJECT DELIVERY & CARBON REDUCTION
Our diverse and expansive portfolio of projects across multiple sectors has positioned us to work with forward-thinking clients and teams seeking excellence in design. Leading the collaborative process, we integrate early sustainable design considerations, such as net zero carbon and energy, water conservation, waste reduction, circular design, and community health, where they can have the most beneficial impact on the project.
LOW CARBON OPERATIONS
We have benchmarked our 2018 Operational Carbon Footprint according to the GHG Protocol, ISO 14064-1:2018 Part 1, and the Climate Registry General Reporting Protocol Version 3.0 guidelines and standards. We are also addressing our largest emitter activities to reduce our carbon footprint across our offices and are providing financial support to carbon emissions reductions projects for our excess corporate emissions.
SUPPORTING INNOVATION THROUGH RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT
Staying up to date on climate trends and resilient design practices is paramount. Our team of engineers, scientists, designers, and technologists actively research new and improved methods of analyzing embodied carbon, optimizing structural design, modelling whole-building energy efficiency, and enhancing envelope durability.
COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT & EDUCATION
We provide educational resources and outreach to all employees and clients to continuously improve our collective acumen at tackling the challenges of climate change, resource scarcity, urban densification, and social inequity. We commit to community-focused projects that provide more green spaces and help offset both our own carbon footprint and that of the buildings and infrastructure we design.

We believe building performance is sustainable performance.
As both legislated and voluntary responses to the environmental crisis continue to become more ambitious, Sustainability Advisory at Entuitive seeks to reduce our own carbon footprint, coordinate our services to provide a holistic approach to sustainable planning, design, and delivery, and equip our clients with the knowledge they need about how building performance can contribute to a sustainable future.
