Innovate Green Office
Regional BCO Award Winner of Corporate Workplace 2008

Leading edge techniques led to this scheme achieving the best ever BREEAM score for a UK office building at the time. However, that alone would not have merited an award. The project also stood out as an elegant and pleasing place to work, said the regional judges.

The design strategy adopted by this building will result in low energy bills. Savings of £1.30 ft² are significant when rents are £12-15 a ft². All this was acheived while showing that a green scheme could meet institutional standards.

The national judges were impressed by the flexible layout of services and techniques such as rainwater harvesting and vacuum drainage, which are expected to cut sewage by 75%. Other innovations include natural ventilation powered by a combined heat and power generator which blows air through hollow floors.
