COP26 Communiqué Signatory:
DLR Group’s average reduction target of predicted net energy use intensity based on performance data, has consistently exceeded the national peer group average. In 2020, our integrated design process resulted in a 53 percent pnEUI reduction compared to average buildings. More than one-third of design projects were adaptive reuse or major renovation projects, further contributing to the embodied carbon savings by reusing existing buildings. Beyond embodied carbon, DLR Group is addressing the impact of designs on another precious resource – water. In 2020, the energy delivery process of our designs saved an estimated 1.4 trillion gallons of water.
