The project was designed around a simple objective — enabling the building to generate its operational energy requirements through onsite renewable energy while reducing both operational and embodied carbon.
Our engineering approach combined efficient building services with renewable technologies and sustainable material selection to maximise long-term building performance.
Key features included:
- 575kWp roof and canopy solar photovoltaic system
- High-efficiency building services
- LED lighting with intelligent controls
- Low-carbon construction materials
- Sustainable timber roof structure
- Water-efficient building services
- Building designed to achieve an A1 BER
Working collaboratively with the wider design team ensured the sustainability strategy could be successfully integrated throughout design and construction.
