ENVIRONMENTALLY SUSTAINABLE DESIGN

ESD Services (Environmentally Sustainable Design)

Your partner for project-specific ESD requirements across education, health, residential and commercial sectors.

The JHA ESD team has grown steadily through repeat work and referrals from architects, contractors, and public agencies who value clear, practical advice. We help clients navigate an evolving sustainability landscape and interpret the project-specific requirements set by government agencies and shaped by sector frameworks. Our team brings a mix of senior specialists and emerging practitioners who work closely to deliver consistent outcomes on every project.

We support projects from concept through construction and provide practical, reliable guidance that aligns with the brief and design intent. We take ownership of our advice and work closely with project teams to support clear decisions at every stage, backed by experience across residential, commercial, education, community, defence, and health projects, as well as heritage upgrades and complex, multi-stage, mixed-use developments. Clients value our quick responses, clear explanations and collaborative approach.

We use industry-leading modelling tools to test ideas, resolve constraints and support performance-based outcomes. Our capabilities include passive design, natural ventilation, energy modelling, thermal comfort, daylight analysis, embodied carbon, LCA, and CFD, where required. We encourage continuous learning and support team members who want to deepen their modelling and advisory skills.

Our team holds accreditations across Green Star, NatHERS, NABERS, CBD, WELL, LEED, ISAP, WUFI, AFRC, Living Building LFA and EnviroDevelopment.
