This investment follows the building鈥檚 achievement as the first BREEAM Outstanding Office at design stage in the UK with the highest score achieved of 89.12% in October 2009. Already performing well with building emissions some 40% less than current Building Regulations with a target of reaching zero, the building incorporates聽 many energy saving features including a biomass boiler, high insulation standards, natural ventilation and a small array of photovoltaics.
This much larger array of photovoltaics will enable net carbon emissions resulting from energy consumed in the operation of their space heating /cooling, hot-water systems, ventilation and internal lighting to be zero or better.
