• Large floors to reduce wall-to-floor ratio.

• Proposed lower carbon content concrete floor system.

• Local and sustainable materials used as much as practicable.

• Base isolation, which considerably extends asset life and reduces total-life carbon footprint.

• Diagrid design above the base isolators, which will reduce the building’s steel requirement by 25-30%.

Incorporating high performance double glazing and Low E coatings to minimise the amount of ultraviolet and infrared light that can pass through glass.

• High end building management system.

• CO2 monitoring for optimum air quality.

• Natural ventilation opportunities.

• System tuning post-construction to optimise performance.

• Long-life LED light fittings with associated lighting controls to all landlord facilities.

• Use of heat pumps to provide domestic hot water to toilets and end-of-trip facilities.

• No fossil fuels.

• WELS-rated water fittings to all landlord facilities to minimise water use.
