VolkerFitzpatrick has completed the first building in the UK to achieve an ‘Outstanding’ rating under the latest BREEAM New Construction 2018 guidance.
Apex Park DC10, a 433,000 sq ft industrial unit in Daventry, was built using alternative cement replacement products and reusing materials, such as crushed concrete and recycled aggregate, from site.
The development also uses a range of climate mitigation measures, such as rainwater harvesting and electric vehicle charging facilities. And it features a 1.2MW roof-mounted photovoltaic array that powers low-energy LED lighting and air-source heat pumps, helping to achieve the building’s carbon-neutral regulated energy and A+ Energy Performance Certificate.
