HFD Property Group's flagship development at 177 Bothwell Street
will be fully electric with zero carbon emissions, when it is
completed in Autumn 2021.
The building will be powered by 100% renewable energy, with its
electrification representing a further 14% reduction in annual
energy use. The move has significantly reduced the estimated
consumption, from 18.1 to 15.6 kWh per m2, per year.
The combination of building design, quality specification and
intelligent technology will make 177 Bothwell Street highly energy
efficient, through a series of measures including the building's
facade and glazing, which maximises natural daylight whilst
maintaining a high thermal performance.
Already projected to achieve an Energy Performance Certificate
(EPC) 'A' rating, the changes mean the building should now complete
with a score below eight - nearly 50% more efficient than a
standard 'A' rated building.
Facilities for climate-friendly commuting have also been included
in the building, with extensive provisions for cyclists and 48 car
parking spaces, with the electrical capacity for all of them to
become electric vehicle charging points.
A large section of 177 Bothwell Street has been pre-let to Virgin
Money for its new headquarters, while HFD Group's serviced offices
business will occupy 65,000 sq. ft.
