| VOS Group Water Solutions |
VOS engineers indentify innovative solutions for water supply, harvesting, treatment and reuse using state-of-the-art design and modelling to exceed current water regulations and industry best practice. A unique point of difference is our ability to link water reuse solutions with hydraulic and mechanical services, in-house, at the design stage.
VOS Sustainable Engineering has a range of capabilities in water and energy management, encompassing water and energy saving studies, total water cycle management, water sensitive urban design, water and energy modelling and materials selection. The VOS Sustainable Engineering team produce innovative designs that minimise the demand for water, energy and materials and provide alternative supply through water reuse and on-site generation of power using renewable sources.
Vos group has more than 20 years of experience within the building services industry and a core strength of the VOS sustainable engineering group is the wealth of knowledge that senior staff have in the field of building services (mechanical, electrical, hydraulic etc) which provides an excellent linkage to meet ESD objectives and develop practical cost effective solutions.
VOS Sustainable Engineering is accredited under Green Star, ABGR, NABERS and NatHERS, and has undertaken appraisals on many high profile developments. Each site offers unique opportunities for resource sustainability and our engineers identify these opportunities at the earliest project stage, working in close consultation with clients. |
