Blue Snow was set up in 2005 to provide boutique engineering and building technology services to the building and infrastructure sector. The focus was to assemble a team of industry professionals to assist developers, owners and design teams to enhance the performance of buildings in its design stage and buildings that are already in operation. As the company progressed, clients were increasingly asking for total solutions as opposed to just analysis. This drove Blue Snow to develop its own solutions as well as partner with other solution providers to provide services ranging from audit, design, analysis, solution implementation, commissioning, maintenance and now finance. As of today,Blue Snow has worked on more than fifty LEED and other green building certifications and numerous audit and improvement projects within ASEAN. |
