- Active travel amenities: With over 170 spaces for bikes, e-bikes, and more, we will support your sustainable commute
An innovative green system
We’ve pushed the boundaries of smart building technology with the installation of a smart blue-green roof which will absorb rainwater and store it beneath its plant layer.
The roof is connected to cloud technology and ‘told’ when a period of intense weather - like a storm or drought - is due to arrive.
For example, if a storm is looming, the water is released into drainage systems so that the roof can absorb more rain, reducing the risk of local flooding.
If a drought is coming, the system automatically uses the stored rain to water the plants on the roof and the green walls - keeping them happy and healthy.
Helping you reach your sustainable office goals
Energy performance
The Castle House redevelopment and its extension will have a combined energy intensity of approximately 81kWh/m2 per year - better than the UK Green Building Council’s 2025 - 2030 energy performance target
Smart sensors
Castle House and its extension will use smart sensors to monitor indoor and outdoor air quality, advising customers on window usage for optimal ventilation, and automatically switching off fans to conserve energy
Low emissions
Each part of the redevelopment will create under 600kgCO2/m2 embodied carbon, meeting Bruntwood’s 2030 target
EPC rating
Our Castle House is targeting an EPC A rating and the Castle House extension is targeting an EPC A or B rating
