Introduction
‘Ecolution SBS’ (sustainable building solutions), or 'Ecolution' for short, is an Environmentally Sustainable Design (ESD) consultancy dedicated to improving New Zealand's built living and working environments through high quality design and construction.
Founded on the three fundamental pillars of ecology, evolution, and solutions, Ecolution strives to advance the way sustainability is implemented in NZ buildings and provide tailored, low-cost, high-value solutions for it’s clients.
Ecolution's services focus on three key outcomes – health, efficiency and environment. The overarching term used for this aspect of buildings is ‘performance’. As a consulting addition to design teams (e.g. architects, engineers, etc.) Ecolution provides expert advice and services, supported by modelling and calculations, on ways to improve a building’s performance.
With over 10 years of industry experience in NZ and the UK, Ecolution has gathered a wide range of knowledge on local and international design methodologies, building types, regulatory frameworks and worked with many different clients of varying backgrounds.
A core belief at Ecolution is that 'simplicity rules'. Building projects are getting exceedingly complex which is contributing to the escalating costs. By pursuing and developing simple and practical solutions to given problems, we enable greater potential cost savings and a more enjoyable experience.
