Energy and Environment

Triggered by population growth and global warming, public agencies have been facing serious challenges related to energy and the environment. At a micro scale, the question of energy efficiency in buildings and districts has been gaining prominence due to its obvious economic and social benefits. At a macro scale, the question of creating efficient waste management systems that reinforce public health policies has been driven by booming cities in the MENA region.

Our team of energy and environment experts has a strong record in providing solutions to clients in the Levant and GCC. At a micro scale, we work closely with private and public entities on environmental impact assessment and sustainability strategies that are integrated within design solutions. At a macro scale, we have been the leading advisor in Lebanon on waste management strategies and air quality monitoring for over 15 years.
