It s estimated that people spend about 90 per cent of their time inside. The way an office tower is developed and managed therefore has a profound impact on human health and productivity. The air and water quality, lighting, thermal comfort, acoustics of the indoor environment, when effectively designed, can promote employee and tenant satisfaction. Not only that, building owners want to strategically manage building performance, capital repair projects and operating costs in the most cost efficient way possible for long-term savings. You need a consultant that has a strong understanding of the building lifecycle from start to finish a consultant that can identify and mitigate future potential performance issues. 3 COMMERCIAL WSP has unparalleled experience in delivering and maintaining commercial projects for investors, developers and owners around the world.
