Despite these hurdles, there was agreement in the room that there was a vision across the industry and this was expressed as: -.

As we evolve our perspectives to consider how to coexist with our planet and not just take from it, we can see that industrial plastics have the potential to help make strides in reducing the carbon footprints of what we build, live in and use.This is, after all, the spirit of Bryden Wood; to challenge what exists for the sake of progress.

Therefore, I hope that we will continue to design for – and use – carbon capture and its benefits for a long time to come..

Gabrielli, Paolo, et al,.Occupant thermal comfort modelling demonstrated that mechanical systems were able to keep people at a comfortable temperature, whatever the weather.

This gained HEA04 BREEAM credits, and contributed to the projects’ BREEAM Very Good rating.. A-rated energy performance.All of these design features helped to achieve exceptionally low carbon emissions, with both centres achieving A rated energy performance certificates.

Barnet Copthall has an Asset Rating of 20 which exceeds the requirements of Part L2a, and delivers CO. 2. emission reductions of over 37% when compared to the target building.They are good examples of projects that follow the “Be Lean, Be Clean and Be Green” guidelines in the London Plan Energy Hierarchy..
