Sustainability

Sustainability at the heart of Brockeridge. 

Sustainability permeates the entire design and construction at Brockeridge Park. 

We’d be happy to discuss the full design process and our commitment to sustainability but here are a few examples to illustrate what we have done: 

Water management 

We’ve installed a carefully planned sustainable urban drainage system (SUDS). In a downpour, up to one million litres of water can be gathered from across the site and routed to two catchment sites from which the rate of flow into the local water course can be controlled. These areas form permanent ponds that have been attractively landscaped and linked with the established wildlife corridors around the site. 

We’ve also created a series of walkways around the site, ideal for a lunchtime stroll – with or without your dog – or simply enjoying you lunch in the fresh air on good weather days. 

Materials and supply chain 

Across the board we ensure that transport and the associated carbon miles are minimised by using local suppliers. Ibstock bricks come from Bristol for example, and the hardcore under the parking areas is recycled road planings from re-surfacing work at nearby Pershore and Eckington. Timber comes from suppliers who source from sustainable forests. This attention to detail and approach extends right through to carpets; these are provided by a company which places great emphasis on sustainability. 

Heating and cooling 

Each of the office buildings at Brockeridge Park is fitted with a sustainable heat/cool system based on well-established heat pump technology. In effect, heat is ‘pumped’ into the building to make it warmer, or out of the building to make it cooler. It’s extremely efficient so for every kilowatt (kW) of energy used to power the system, 4kW of heat are produced. The systems qualify for an ‘A’ rating under the government’s Enhanced Capital Allowance (ECA) scheme.
