Hosts:
As June is our Green Month, we wanted to learn from best practice and chose a building which achieved 98.5, the highest scoring office building, using the BREEAM standards: Bloomberg European HQ,
Bloomberg have kindly agreed to host our visit and to share their collective experience with attendees.
The building:
The beautifully crafted Stirling Prize winner sits at the heart of the City of London comfortably and respectful to its context.
The vision of former NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg became a reality in the hands of the team at Foster + Partners, whose original design intent was delivered by Sir Robert McAlpine.
Starting with a very positive use of the often overlooked Ground Floor, the development has not only recuperated a historical route and some of the most exciting Roman ruins in recent years but also managed to create a destination within a beautifully crafted building. This is a great example of the opportunities design can unlock when the users (employees and community) are part of the design brief.
Some key green features you might not be familiar with are
- Integrated ceiling panels, which contribute to heating, cooling, lighting and acoustic performance
- Rainwater harvesting
- Natural ventilation through its beatiful bronze fins
- Smart air distribution system to adapt ventilation to levels of occupancy
- An on-site combined heat and power (CHP)
