The building’s operational energy efficiency and low lifetime carbon targets will be delivered via 100% renewable grid electricity, rooftop photovoltaic panels, an intelligent Building Management System, energy-efficient all-electric heating, hot water, and cooling systems, and demand-driven displacement ventilation to the office floors. The building’s occupiers can expect to reduce their occupational CO₂ emissions by up to 82% compared with a typical office building.
The use of low-carbon materials and circular economy principles for the facade and interiors will exceed GLA and Camden policy targets for sustainability and energy efficiency, with the dry nature of the construction allowing for future deconstruction and re-use with minimal wastage.
The building also has a strong wellbeing ethos, with landscaped terraces on most levels, a communal rooftop garden and yoga deck, and large windows to maximise daylight. The use of natural materials and extensive internal planting will help provide clean, highly oxygenated air, which will be continually assessed by air quality monitors, with the ventilation systems designed in response to Covid-19 ventilation guidelines.
