occupied in 32 months.
The innovative, environmentally sustainable design attracting additional funding from the EC Thermie programme, as a demonstration of a ‘zero energy' office.
Additionally the building design incorporated green roofs, photo voltaic cells, daylight optimisation, mixed-mode ventilation and high heat recovery facilities.
