Our world is rapidly changing with the unprecedented impact of the climate crisis. Understanding architecture’s impact on the environment and the urgency of addressing the crisis is paramount to KPMB. The Lab is hyper-focused on leading research to develop innovative, cost-efficient solutions that reduce carbon emissions and support regenerative design. To drive innovation forward, we approach this work holistically with clients, stakeholders, and allied professionals.

The Lab is integrated into every KPMB project. From the onset, we work with our design teams to unlock opportunities for clients and the communities we serve. The Lab supports projects through real-time analysis of design concepts to inform decisions and drive tangible outcomes. The Lab facilitates knowledge sharing and collaboration, regularly hosting leading researchers and practitioners to share insights and expertise with our team. Through partnerships with universities and like-minded institutions, the Lab helps accelerate sustainable design by contributing to research addressing the biggest questions and most pressing challenges our industry is facing.

We’re constantly exploring and advancing how our work contributes to community building, health and well-being, social equity, conserving resources, and ultimately, the resilience of our planet.
