Sustainability

We understand sustainability principles, and we use this expertise to turn design intent into actual performance

When we talk about successful sustainability design, at Intrax, we consider decarbonisation, climate-resilient design, building life cycle energy and water efficiency, the occupants' health and wellbeing of the occupants and the social value created to the surrounding community.
