Designed with Eco Efficiency in Mind
Sustainability
BREEAM
We aim to deliver our business parks to BREEAM certification, awarded to sustainable environments that enhance the wellbeing of the people who live and work in them, help protect natural resources and offer attractive property investments.
LANDSCAPING AND WILDLIFE
New landscaping forms part of our developments with existing hedgerows being retained where possible and extended where necessary. Careful planting aids biodiversity, protecting and enhancing existing flora and fauna while creating new wildlife habitats including bat and bird boxes.
WATER EFFICIENCY
Water efficient appliances combined with rainwater harvesting help to minimise the use of mains potable water. We also use sustainable drainage systems to reduce surface water run off rates to the benefit of the surrounding areas.
LOW CARBON FOOTPRINT
Our business parks are low carbon developments with a commitment to reduce CO2 emissions by over 20% through careful design and the innovative use of green technologies. Recycled and reclaimed materials will be used where possible.
WASTE AND RECYCLING
Segregated facilities minimise waste and maximise recycling.
ENERGY EFFICIENCY
Our business park units are highly insulated and carefully constructed to minimise heat loss and maximise energy efficiency.
SMART LIGHTING
Intelligent and low energy lighting systems, combined with the maximum use of natural daylight help to reduce energy use.
LOCAL ECONOMY
Our business parks provide new opportunities for construction and thereafter permanent employment. Covered cycle shelters, shower and drying facilities will help promote cycling as a viable alternative to the car.
