Emma Sadie Thomson (EST) contributes to the reduction of carbon emissions in the City of Adelaide. 

EST’s exterior work involves the provision of ‘green infrastructure’ across the city. These installations provide ecosystem services for the city which includes reducing the urban heat island effect through shading and evapotranspiration and reducing energy used for heating and cooling through building insulation. 

Plant installations inside buildings improves indoor air quality by removing harmful volatile organic compounds found in office spaces and oxygenating the environment. Mood, productivity and wellbeing in the work place are improved. 

Working with clients to create custom designed plant installations that match the customer’s space, all of EST’s plants and products are locally made and grown, reducing transport emissions associated with procurement. 

EST’s maintenance service reduces the need for replacement plants and ensures that plants are growing at their optimum.
