Sustainability
At PUNCH Consulting Engineers, sustainability is central to how we design and deliver projects. We are committed to reducing environmental impact, improving whole-life performance, and creating long-lasting value for clients, communities and the built environment. We embed sustainable thinking at every stage of design. Our approach includes Whole Life and Embodied Carbon Assessments to inform early design decisions and promote low-carbon, resource-efficient solutions. We prioritise circularity by designing structures for future adaptability.
We actively promote and advocate the adoption of Environmental Performance Declarations (EPDs) for all products used in construction. We are also strong advocates for the use of environmental accreditation schemes, including LEED and BREEAM and have been involved in numerous projects which have been certified using these schemes.
At PUNCH, we understand the value of education. That’s why we support our staff who wish to undertake further education and training. We encourage staff members to maintain their Continuous Professional Development (CPD) accreditations with Engineers Ireland. We also continue to offer training in sustainable design and construction through seminars, in-house lectures, and external training programmes. We promote the achievement of professional titles with institutions such as Engineers Ireland, the Association of Consulting Engineers of Ireland, the Institute of Structural Engineers, and the Institute of Civil Engineers.
