Our refurbishment of this 43,036 sq ft warehouse space at Premier Park, Park Royal achieved Net Zero Carbon from an operational perspective and an Excellent BREEAM rating, adding significant long term value to the property.

We completely remodelled the layout of the unit and extended the square footage by adding a first floor to the ancillary accommodation, achieving SEGRO’s aims for the building. Key measures that were implemented to achieve Net Zero Carbon (in operation) and the BREEAM certification, include:

EV charging points can be used by the occupier and the general public to encourage a switch to electric vehicles.
Solar powered picnic benches enable employees to work and relax outside, along with a woodland walk and nature boxes to attract wildlife.
Secure bicycle parking encourages employees to cycle to work instead of drive, with rich biodiverse growing roofs and wildlife habitat panels.
Low maintenance, drought-tolerant planting is nectar-rich for butterflies, bees, moths and other invertebrate wildlife.
Photovoltaic panels installed to the roof, provide electricity to the premises and any excess back into the network grid, saving approximately £24,000 per annum. All SunPower panels are backed by the industry-leading 25-year coverage of the SunPower Complete Confidence panel warranty. Comprehensive data about the energy produced is fed into an App for review. The data is also live streamed in real time on a big screen in the reception area for visitors and employees to see.
CO2 sensors implemented to the office MHVR units increase / decrease the fresh air supply based on the level of CO2 within the office space. When the office is unoccupied, the unit does not run at full speed. This technology is fairly rare in terms of its use in office space.
Heat recovery up to 85% for additional energy and cost savings.
Water reducing producing products, such as non-concussive taps and rainwater harvesting feeds to the WCs, are anticipated to save over 400,000 litres of water per annum.
Reclaimed and reused building materials installed including bio-based carpet tiles – 395 square metres of carbon neutral flooring (Interface Heuga 727) was installed, resulting in the retirement of 4 metric tons of carbon dioxide – the equivalent of the emissions from a car travelling 15,974 kilometres.
Rather than install new, we decided to install a recycled raised access floor to the additional office space to the first floor office. Re-using the existing raised access floor to the ground floor.
Airlite decoration was used on all wall surfaces. It is the first technology designed and developed exclusively to improve the air quality inside and outside living spaces. It prevents dirt in the air from settling and, at the same time, eliminates bacteria and prevents the formation of moulds. It drastically reduces the amount of solar heat absorbed by buildings, thereby reducing air-conditioning energy costs up to 30% and lowering the associated CO2 emissions that cause climate change.
New energy efficient LED light fittings producing 161 luminaire lumens per circuit Watt.
