Closing the
performance gap
in buildings
Working towards Net Zero Carbon
Our emphasis as a business is to integrate our three key service disciplines – Design, Energy and Facilities Management – to deliver excellence in buildings.
This multifaceted offering of design specialisms allows the Company to provide an informed holistic approach to building services design which champions energy and sustainability good practice. This approach is strengthened by our Facilities Team who provide invaluable up to date feedback in regards to energy in-use, effective performance and maintainability of installations.
In recent years it has become apparent that buildings frequently do not necessarily operate in line with Client and Designers’ aspirations with regards energy, wellbeing and performance.
KJ Tait’s focus is to close this performance gap through the collaboration of our three key service disciplines to provide an integrated service and informed project designs.
