Sustainability Building design at DHD

DHD has been at the forefront of sustainable design and construction for over a decade.


Our Journey

Sustainability Building is a leading international low energy design standard with over 50 buildings designed, built and tested to the Sustainability Building standard worldwide. We are proud patrons of the Sustainability Building Trust and have developed Sustainability Building projects across numerous sectors including commercial, industrial, education, residential and leisure.

In 2019, the world parliament and Scottish Government both declared climate emergencies. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, there is now a sharp focus on building resilient and sustainable communities. This includes the buildings we construct - from how we design and build them to the comfort of occupants and the long-term efficiencies.


Sustainably built. Delivering quality & comfort.

Sustainability Building buildings provide a high level of occupant comfort while using very little energy for heating and cooling, based on the core principles of:

• Low air permeability
• Enhanced insulation
• The omission of cold bridging
• A constant supply of fresh air

All Sustainability Building buildings follow a rigorous quality assurance process verified by an independent certifier to confirm that the building successfully meets all the criteria defined by the Sustainability Building Institute.
Sustainability Building buildings have the perfect mix of quality, innovation and sustainability.
