Environmental impact assessment and certification of sustainability are key elements of the new approach to integrated planning.

The application of certification systems to rate the level of sustainability of the built environment, such as LEED®, BREEAM and ITACA (Italian National Rating System) represents a shared strategy and an effective way to guarantee high standards of environmental performance.

Manens provides specific services for the LEED Certification assessment, including Documentation and Administration, Commissioning, Energy and Daylight modelling – supported by a team of Professionals consisting of Commissioning Authorities, Energy and Daylight modelling specialists and LEED® AP™ accredited specialists.

We also provide consulting services for BREEAM accreditation, a certification widely adopted also in Italy to assess the sustainability of buildings.

Manens has specific skills and experience in the Italian Green Building Certification System – ITACA, and can provide specific consultancy thanks to our accredited Professionals. Moreover, we offer lighting design services, an area in which we have also gained a high specialisation over the years. Our technical team of acoustics professionals, working with advanced simulation software, is also dedicated to finding cost-effective solutions to complex acoustic issues
