Jan Talacko Email & Phone Number

I am the proud founder and Managing Director of Ark Resources, a leading Environmentally Sustainable Design (ESD) firm based in Melbourne, Australia. Leading a team of industry experts, we deliver end-to-end solutions for our clients helping demystify ESD elements throughout the entire building and construction lifecycle, providing future-proof and cost-effective solutions. I am personally driven to make a difference to the environment and the building and construction industry. This drive and determination for change has been pivotal to the success of Ark Resources and my team’s focus on providing practical and accurate advice that balances sustainability and regulatory hurdles. With over 25 years’ of industry experience, I have had the pleasure of working across some of Australia’s leading edge ESD projects. This has allowed me to gain skills in developing and implementing Ratings Tools, Green Star NABERS, Carbon Neutral Certifications, Energy Auditing, Planning Stage Reports, Building Sustainability Index (BASIX), Water Sensitive Urban Design and high level, complex ESD Advice. I have also worked closely with federal, state and local governments in Australia on the development of industry tools and frameworks and ESD-focused research and development projects. Are you looking for an ESD provider you can trust for your next project? I would love to speak with you!
