These and other cost savings can only be fully realized when they are incorporated at the project's conceptual design phase with the assistance of an integrated team of professionals. The integrated systems approach ensures that the building is designed as one system rather than a collection of stand-alone systems. Some benefits, such as improving occupant health, comfort, productivity, reducing pollution and landfill waste are not easily quantified.
The Rock of Gibraltar (Spanish and Llanito: El PeÃ±Ã³n de Gibraltar, which stems from the Arabic Jabal á¹¬Äriq, Tariq's Mountain; originally called Calpe) is a monolithic limestone promontory located in the British overseas territory of Gibraltar, near the southwestern tip of Europe on the Iberian Peninsula.
