Multiplex has completed a successful trial of materials passports at the One Nine Elms project in Vauxhall, London.
The materials passports trial on phase one of One Nine Elms, being developed by R&F Properties, focused on the luxury hotel element of the scheme, comprising 267,000 sq ft over 19 storeys. Multiplex claims this is the first materials passports pilot in Britain to focus specifically on difficult-to-manage fit-out elements, including high-value bespoke stonework as well as tile, screed, insulation and bathroom fixture elements.
Multiplex collaborated with the circular built environment consultancy Maconda Solutions, using Upcyclea software to gather building material information. This data was then used to generate key metrics that produced scores for the project’s carbon footprint, circularity, material health and financial residual value, creating the so-called ‘circular signature’ (the circularity equivalent of a built asset’s carbon footprint).
