Sustainability

The SiteThe site is located adjacent to the Floating Harbour and the building benefits from

views over the water. The extension and reorientation of the core will significantly

enhance the floor plates and will increase the prominence of the waterside location.

Accessibility The building is easily accessible by public transport being close to Bristol Temple Meads

station and situated just off Victoria Street which is served by many bus routes. The

building is also close to Castle Park and the amenities of Cabot Circus and Broadmead.

Secure bicycle storage facilities will be provided within the basement, together with

lockers and showers.

Disability Discrimination ActThe building will be fully accessible in accordance with the requirements of the

Disability Discrimination Act.

Off street disabled parking will be provided and level and/or ramped access will be

provided to the main reception area with level thresholds at ground floor level and lift

access to all office floors.

Development Layout and Design The development will be designed and constructed to a high quality and will enhance

the internal space of the building and the local built environment. The design has been

progressed targeting a BREEAM rating of ‘Very Good’.

EnergyThe insulation within the building will be upgraded and the extension will be

constructed to high standards of insulation (both thermal and acoustic).

Building services will be designed to minimise energy use.

WasteSegregated storage space for recyclable (and non-recyclable) waste material will be

provided. A large proportion of the building will remain therefore significantly reducing

waste created compared to a full demolition. The existing Redcliff Street elevation will

be carefully demolished and materials and components will be reclaimed if possible.

Water 6 litre flushing cisterns will be standard, together with other water saving devices, such

as automatic basin taps.

PollutionIndoor air quality will be ensured through the use of low emission solvents. Materials

and components known to contain chemicals harmful to the environment will not

be specified for use. The development will not be detrimental to external air and

water quality.

All external light fittings will be selected to comply with requirements of Campaign for

Dark Skies (ie. downward directed only).

Materials Reclaimed masonry from the demolished elevation will be reused where possible in

the new extension. Components incorporating recycled materials will be used where

possible. All timber will be obtained from managed sources.
