Sustainable office building will achieve net zero carbon
Summary
The HDR team was originally involved in overseeing the strip out of the building before being appointed as Mechanical, Electrical and Public Health (MEP), Vertical Transportation and Energy consultants. Originally dating back to the 1980s, the building, which is located between 1 Sloane Gardens and Tarnbrook Court in London’s Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, will be repurposed to provide a high quality, flexible and sustainable working environment. The all-electric building is an example of Grosvenor’s commitment to net zero and how innovative low carbon development can contribute to this goal, with 99.95% of strip out waste having been diverted from landfill and 98% of the full scheme. Adrian Gray, HDR’s Global Corporate (Office) & Commercial Director, said “Sustainability and biodiversity are at the heart of this project and a range of innovative materials and technologies have been used to guarantee the greatest positive impact. Tenants will also enjoy an exciting addition to the exterior of the space; a new roof terrace will be constructed, providing spectacular views of the surrounding Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea to the west and Westminster to the east.
