More sustainable buildings that help to Net Zero

New buildings that produce 37% less carbon than a building built to current UK standards.

Water efficient design that stores rainwater for re-use, reducing pressure on local draining systems.

Where possible, existing buildings are being thermally insulated and fitted with new high efficiency lighting, heating and ventilation systems.

Embodied carbon minimised through use of low impact construction materials and circular economy approach i.e. how those materials may be reused within their lifetime to minimise environmental impact.
