Engaging in Sustainable Construction requires organizations to understand and comply with the various regulatory elements as well as voluntary certifications that can enhance the market value of the building projects and help to sustain the environment. LEED, GRIHA, ECBC, MOEF, BIS EN16001, ISO14000, CDP, CER’S are just a few of the various certifications or compliances that organizations will need to

navigate. Surmount has in depth knowledge of such requirements and is able to facilitate organizations through them successfully to achieve the targeted certifications/compliances.

Good sustainable building design requires simulation of the performance of buildings for its Energy, Water, Light/Views, Air quality, Acoustics etc before it is built. Unfortunately, not much can be changed once the building has been built and therefore it is critical to simulate and understand the performance of the building apriori. These performance simulations serve as the basis by which the investment in capital and equipment can be

optimized to get the best return on investment for any owner/developer. Many of these simulations (e.g. Energy, Light) are also required by the certifications such as LEED, GRIHA, ECBC etc. Surmount has the expertise to achieve these performance simulations and identify the best outcomes in any development situation.

Building automation is a practical way to achieve sustainable construction and living. While facilitation and simulation support the development of the right design, automation is a critical part of the enablement of such a design. Automation allows both monitoring of critical resources consumed and the important aspects of the living environment (e.g Energy consumption, Lighting management, Gas leakage monitoring,

Security intrusion monitoring), it allows occupants the ability to control and manage these critical aspects. Building automation can be deployed at various levels, from the most sophisticated to the most simple. Depending on your needs, Surmount has a variety of solutions ranging from Integrated Building Mangement Solutions that handle multiple aspects of the occupants environment to individual apartment safety/security type solutions.
