Winner
Gifford Consulting Engineers

Gifford has been taking the lead in introducing sustainable building principles to a wide range of its clients under the concept of 'Commercial Green'. This is a design philosophy developed to put more good green principles into practice. Gifford has been making its ideas a reality by incorporating affordable variants of environmental ideals in building designs, and as a consequence, injecting a number of small but significant energy saving concepts. This award recognises their efforts to put engineers at the forefront of helping clients understand the true benefits of energy efficient, sustainable buildings.
