"Developer Robertson Group and its team, led by Keppie Design, worked hard with the tenant and BRE to achieve the highest ever BREEAM rating of more than 84%. Many materials were recycled or locally sourced. The building is highly insulated, naturally ventilated and uses thermal mass for cooling. Solar energy pre-heats water and rain is harvested for toilet flushing. The judges praised the rigour given to locally sourcing timber and adapting the design to suit."
