New sustainable R&D laboratory to
achieve LEED Platinum standard.
The design achieves the following key
integrated environmental objectives:
| • |
Landmark sustainable building |
| • |
High quality internal environment |
| • |
Naturally daylit spaces that couple with the external
seasonal and diurnal variations in light levels,
tone and colour, creating a more natural environment
enhancing staff well being and productivity. |
| • |
Mixed mode systems to take advantage of natural
ventilation with additional mechanical cooling and
heating during summer and winter, wherever possible;
restoring control to the individual increasing comfort
and worker satisfaction. |
| • |
A climate responsive development, with orientation
and massing designed to minimised adverse impact
of the site, whilst maximising the potential benefits
of the climatic forces. |
| • |
Significant energy reduction, coupled with the
use of renewable energy sources, including the Chicago
River; leading to a zero carbon development. |
| • |
Optimisation of low embodied environmental impact
materials and the use of recycled materials and
optimisation of prefabrication of primary structural
elements for quality and speed of erection. |
| • |
On-site water collection (rain and grey water)
and treatment, eliminating the requirement for off-site
irrigation connections. |
