| Foster + Partners' building achieves BREEAM ‘Outstanding’ rating London-based architectural firm Foster + Partners has completed the first office building in England to achieve the BREEAM 'Outstanding' accreditation. 7 More London Riverside is the final and largest building within the More London masterplan, developed by More London Development, and provides a new 10-storey, sustainable headquarters for PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP. The building incorporates a range of energy saving strategies. In addition to a high-performance façade designed to offer shade and insulation, the building features solar hot water panels, green roofs and fully automated building management and metering systems. A Combined Cooling Heating & Power (CCHP) trigeneration plant provides a low carbon source of cooling, heat and power and has resulted in 55% less CO2 emissions than that required under the 2006 Part L2 Building Regulations. write your comments about the article :: © 2010 Construction News :: home page |
