Breathe easy Air quality is an important contributor to human health, comfort and productivity. Clean air means healthier cities—and ultimately healthier people and ecosystems. Better Air Quality – From Outdoors to Indoors We offer in-depth and comprehensive air quality services covering all aspects of a project’s life cycle. Some of our services include emissions inventories, monitoring programs, health risk assessments, dispersion modeling, atmospheric emissions license applications, and construction and environmental impact assessments. We also provide modeling and monitoring services related to environmental noise (acoustics) and indoor air quality. Contaminated Land and Soil Remediation In dealing with the impact of site contamination and land remediation, governments, local authorities, and organizations are focusing increasingly on social, environmental, and commercial solutions that support human health and the environment.

Future Ready Solutions

We remove and manage all the complexities and liabilities associated with contamination, leaving our clients free to focus on the future of their business. We can mitigate the risks posed by contaminated land, protect current assets through monitoring and management, and future-proof to cope with an ever-changing regulatory landscape and climate. Breadth of Expertise to Deliver Complete Solutions Incorporating the impacts of climate change into our solutions, we are leading the way in sustainable remediation and engineering and have an established reputation delivering successful projects of all sizes around the world, across a multitude of sites, land uses, and sectors—chemical, pharmaceutical and biotechnology, roads and rail, oil and gas, mines and quarries, industrial and brownfield sites, commercial developments, and residential buildings. Where appropriate, we work with our remediation experts who apply advanced tools and technologies to design and implement on site remediation solutions. Groundwater and Hydrogeology We have helped clients around the world to efficiently sell or purchase sites, gain planning permissions, and avoid costly time delays and redesigns by quickly characterizing on-site water conditions. Our expert hydrogeologists can design tailored solutions to protect water quality and security, characterize and abate groundwater contamination, and identify and plan around the presence of shallow groundwater and springs or abstractions to optimize land use and value. From Project Concept to Completion From project concept to completion and beyond, we have the scale and expertise to

work with clients on large, complex areas of contaminated lands and small legacy sites. Whether planning a change of use for a site or rehabilitating a brownfield site, we can evaluate ground constraints, opportunities, and sustainability considerations. We place great importance on understanding our clients’ businesses and challenges, while taking a pragmatic and balanced approach to ensure our solutions deliver long-term commercial, environmental, and economic success. A Water-Led Approach for Built and Natural Environments Water is our most essential natural resource, responsible for shaping the built environment and sustaining the natural environment. Managing water effectively and sustainably is more critical than ever. Climate change, urbanization and aging assets have added pressure to the water resources of communities, infrastructure, and ecosystems. The resulting impacts on stormwater, water quality, water supplies, as well as the associated shifts in the regulatory landscape, require an integrated approach with innovative thinking. At WSP, our water experts understand the regional complexities and local subtleties of addressing water-related environmental challenges. Through our range of multidisciplinary capabilities—from water risk management and hydrological modeling to water quality control and ecosystem restoration—we can support clients’ needs throughout a project’s life cycle. By effectively planning, managing, cleaning, and restoring our water resources, we can help create a sustainable and resilient future for business operations, communities, and the natural environment.

Energy We help clients across all sectors unlock opportunities to meet the rising demand for power, maintain secure and reliable energy supplies, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and deliver future energy schemes to help create a sustainable world. The energy sector is transforming. Economic power shifts, resource constraints, technological advancements, population growth, rapid urbanization, industrialization of emerging economies, energy consumption levels, power generation capacities, as well as environmental challenges and resource shortages are all global trends that are having a powerful influence on the sector. In a world where we cannot count on unlimited access to energy and the question of climate change is becoming increasingly important, how we produce, process, distribute, and use energy—ensuring accessibility to affordable and clean energy—has become one of our greatest challenges. To adapt to inevitable changes, ensure sustainable energy systems, and mitigate climate change, governments and businesses alike must identify and understand their implications, improve energy efficiency, foster renewable power generation, and achieve exceptional environmental performance, all while implementing innovative strategies and business models to ensure secure and reliable energy supplies. From initial development and planning studies through to front-end design, project management, and commissioning, WSP provides multidisciplinary engineering, technical, and project delivery services at all phases of a project. We help clients across all sectors—buildings, oil and gas, mining, industrial, transport, and

infrastructure—unlock opportunities to meet the rising demand for power. We work with our clients to reduce both energy end use and the release of greenhouse gas emissions and to deliver future energy schemes that create a sustainable world. We offer our clients expertise in district heating and cooling distribution, energy management and efficiency , geothermal energy, hydropower, nuclear energy, wind energy, power transmission and distribution, solar energy, and thermal energy and bioenergy.

Reducing the environmental impact of buildings is a key factor when planning the future of sustainable cities. While legislation and energy codes are becoming increasingly stringent, more building developers are committing to sustainability.

Green Building Design

Climate change is the single largest global environmental challenge today. Buildings contribute to this problem, being responsible for approximately one-third of the world’s greenhouse gases. However, going forward they could also be part of the solution.

• Tele2 Arena in Stockholm, • South Key Plaza in London, • L’Avenue Shanghai, • Sales Force Tower in San Francisco, • National Museum of African American History and Culture in Washington, DC, • New City Office Complex in Warsaw • the Menlyn Maine green precinct development in Pretoria, and • Four Seasons Hotel and Residences in Toronto. Our teams are involved in both new and existing buildings. At new buildings, they hold design charrettes, create energy models, guide energy efficiency decisions and manage green building certifications. At existing buildings it’s a case of carrying out energy audits and retro commissioning to recommend improvements and show cost benefits, so business owners can make the right decisions. A Holistic Approach to Whole Life Cycle Design Our holistic approach to green building design accounts for the whole life cycle of the building, from the earliest stages of design through construction and operation to demolition. We advise on building massing and orientation, consider the energy embodied in construction materials, optimize natural resources, and incorporate renewables where possible. In addition, we support clients worldwide in achieving the highest levels of green buildings ratings such as LEED in the US and Canada, BREEAM in the UK, and Green Star in Africa, Australia, and New Zealand.

Sustainable Buildings Specialists We specialize in designing high performance, energy- and resource-efficient buildings—tailored to client objectives and to the needs and well-being of occupants—with a special focus on minimizing their environmental and ecological impact. Our projects include commercial and residential buildings, research laboratories, stadiums, museums, and public infrastructure plans. Our experience spans sustainable buildings such as:
