Our Commitment

Hansen Yuncken incorporates sustainability principles into our activities through a flexible approach to service delivery.

Our expertise and knowledge continues to grow with each project, ensuring our clients benefit from leading edge practices.

We recognise the competing issues with energy and water management and the interaction between a building and the living and working space for users.

Hansen Yuncken are committed to the values and principles for selecting ESD materials. We understand the controls needed during the construction and commissioning phases of a project.

These principles, our knowledge and commitment, underpin our acknowledged leadership in Ecologically Sustainable Development.

The Difference

ESD is about making informed value based choices for sustainability. Our experience and knowledge in sustainability provides valuable assistance for our clients and design teams in making these choices.

Hansen Yuncken can provide distinct advantages such as:

  • In-house design managers who can assist in integrating ESD into construction documentation
  • Cost advice on the read cost of ESD initiatives
  • Knowledge and experience with Green Star, ABGR and NABERS
  • Ecologically sustainable site management practices
  • Commissioning management using in-house experts
  • Structured training and induction of building managers and users
  • Commercial guarantees of Green Star and ABGR outcomes
  • An active network of Green Star professionals

Community Involvement

Bonorong Park Tasmanian Devil Enclosure
Our Tasmanian team have recently managed free of charge the construction of a new enclosure for the endangered Tasmanian Devil, encouraging sub contractors to donate materials and time to this project. The Tasmanian Devil has come under threat from a deadly facial tumour, and this development is important in the preservation efforts.
