Sustainability

One of the highlights of Parc Gelli Werdd is that it comprises highly sustainable buildings.
Using Active Building and Passivhaus principles involving high levels of insulation and part of electricity requirements generated using on-site solar PV, this low carbon development will champion reduced building running costs.

Designed with the aim of achieving ‘Net Zero carbon in-use target’ and having achieved BREEAM “Excellent” and EPC “A” ratings, this development includes an innovative building management system (BMS) that incorporates a bespoke metering and monitoring platform to enable both billing and detailed performance monitoring. Tenants will have access to an online dashboard to monitor electricity uses to sub-circuit level and billing costs for their units.

Data collected via the BMS will be used to provide future learning in relation to sustainability and de-carbonisation, to both enhance the performance of the development and to inform the construction and operation of new premises.

By adopting good practice, tenants should be able to enjoy lower energy costs as a result of the sustainable features of the development.

Additional sustainable benefits include:

• EV rapid charging points.
• Dedicated “car sharing” parking spaces.
• Secure bicycle storage and showers/changing facilities.
• Inclusivity
• Accessible toilets available for all units.
• A fully resourced Changing Places room available in the office building.
• The entire development is at grade, with a lift to supplement a stairway to the first floor of the office building.
• Dedicated disabled car parking spaces.
