The design meets both theoretical Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) A Rating and more importantly, has the potential to deliver an actual Display Energy Certificate A rating which determines the building’s energy in use.
Integration into the local public transport links was also key to the Co-op and the building will be easily accessible by cycle routes, and close to bus and tram routes.
The building was also the subject of a climate change study funded by the Technology Strategy Board. This reviewed the building’s resilience and capacity to adapt for future climate scenarios, both overheating and surface water flooding.
A bespoke innovation credit was awarded by the BRE in recognition of the team providing industry thought leadership in this area at the time. This was one of four bespoke innovation credits awarded by the BRE for this project.
The building sets a new benchmark for commercial office design, achieving a balance of sustainability, operational efficiency, space flexibility and high quality.
The project succeeds in translating the client’s ethical approach to society and the environment in their business through their commitment to deliver a truly outstanding building.
