LLDD Sustainability


Our core design principles inherently integrate sustainability principles in the following ways:

  • LLDD designs for longevity of a living space and durability of materials for the long term

  • LLDD seeks to recognize the true sustainability value of a high quality orientation with regards furniture, materials and technology

  • LLDD designs holistically and considers the full life cycle of resources used

Practical pointers with regards the sustainability of your living space:

Energy supply and demand are the largest sustainability factors to consider with regards the sustainability of your home/living space. The following ideas may help in considering how to implement your sustainability goals:

Energy supply 

  • Sign up for 100% green electricity from your Utility

  • Install as much solar and battery storage as practically possible

  • Drive an electric car which you can charge at home using your solar resources

  • Electrify your cooking by switching from natural gas

Energy Demand

  • Design your home to be as energy efficient as possible by installing insulation, electric cooking, natural ventilation, modern windows, natural shading

  • Manage your HVAC system as efficiently as possible by ensuring its electric and your have smart thermostats in the home

  • Use fans as much as possible to minimize your use of AC

 
 
 
 
 

Other sustainability considerations for your design plans include:

  • Toxicity of paints used

  • Recyclability of materials used, including furniture

  • Food waste disposal options

  • Consider wood as the best building material, followed by steel and then concrete

 

A further dimension to LLDD’s sustainability approach is the importance of a fair wage and equal opportunity for the LLDD crew itself. 

Equally, LLDD priorities suppliers who adhere to the best possible sustainability standards available.
