Sustainability Advisory

RDT Pacific’s sustainability advisory services deliver better long-term outcomes for your projects, people, and the environment.

Sustainability is here for the long-term

Sustainability is no longer aspirational; it is a long-term lens we can apply to all decision-making.

Leveraging our extensive global experience in developing sustainability strategies, as well as our in-depth knowledge of New Zealand-specific building issues, we serve as our clients’ sustainable property advisors. We assist at three levels: strategic, property portfolio, and building. Our ultimate goal is to empower our clients to achieve a valuable and sustainable built environment.

RDT Pacific has established a strong market presence by providing targeted and tailored sustainability advice on property projects. We offer strategic guidance to organisations aiming to develop and demonstrate significant progress in sustainability.

Green Star certification services

As a project management partner of the New Zealand Green Building Council (NZGBC), RDT Pacific shares a commitment to promoting healthier, eco-friendly buildings that adhere to the highest sustainable design and construction standards.

A building or community with Green Star certification has proven it meets best practice sustainable design and build benchmarks.

Green Star is an internationally recognised rating system that delivers independent verification of sustainable outcomes throughout the life cycle of the built environment.

We support NZGBC’s vision by bringing sustainable innovation to the forefront of our industry.

RDT Pacific Green Star Accredited Professionals have the skills to work on projects targeting Green Star and make high-quality submissions as part of the rating. We ensure the entire assessment process is a smooth, cost-effective and rewarding experience for all involved.

We are proud to have been the Project Manager and Green Star Accredited Professional to deliver the first Multiple Building Single Design Certification 6 Green Star in Aotearoa New Zealand.
