Designed with sustainability in mind, the unit is targeting an EPC ‘A’ rating, it will be powered by all electric infrastructure, it’s power secured from 100% renewable sources and solar PV roof panels are provided to reduce the amount of power drawn from the network and thus effect savings on utility costs for the occupier.
