We have considerable experience delivering highly sustainable projects, including BREEAM and NABERs accredited schemes, and those with high EPC ratings.
We are proud to have been involved in the design and construction of the University of Nottingham's Energy Technologies Building; the world's first zero-carbon operational laboratory complex and the first laboratory complex in the UK to achieve BREEAM ‘Outstanding
The building was designed to use renewable and ambient sources including its own smart grid and features pioneering technology designed to minimise the building’s demand for heating, cooling, lighting and ventilation. Purpose-built to facilitate the University’s research into low carbon energy, the building comprises an innovative earth duct passive cooling system which uses the thermal mass of the surrounding earth to provide passive cooling and preheated ventilation air. It has an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rating of 6 within category A, whilst 100% of waste was diverted from landfill.
