Strong passive faced credentials supported by state of the art building services has delivered a class leading ‘A’ rated EPC with a carbon footprint believed to be one of the lowest in Scotland without the support of renewable technologies. A further innovation in air movement delivers a significant proportion of free cooling to the office area without the need for comfort cooling. This increased air flow rate contributes to a more healthy working environment – an important contribution to a BREEAM excellent.
The subsequent fit out for SPIE UK has demonstrated that developing the basic building in accordance with industry standards has allowed ease of space planning for a number of functional requirements. The focus on low carbon sustainable development is underlined through a BREEAM excellent accreditation and class leading ‘A’ rated EPC for this state-of-the-art office.
