Green credentials
Much is vaunted about sustainability and efficiency of buildings
but Landid is one of the few developers who produce buildings that
regularly exceed environmental expectations.
We believe that whilst the buildings in which we work protect us
from nature's extremes, they must also provide a pleasing and
healthy internal environment and minimise the impact on natural
resources. Care is taken to work through the initial stages of a
project to refine the siting, orientation and external envelope of
buildings, and to address internal space planning options and
circulation patterns to provide flexible, welcoming and efficient
use of every area of the site.
Landid's directors have a long and impressive record of developing
buildings that not only provide a high quality working environment,
but are efficient and produce real energy cost savings for
occupiers; having been involved in the beta testing of the original
BREEAM system, and having installed the first major solar façade in
a UK office development.
This commitment continues today, with our new build and
refurbishment projects regularly achieving Grade B EPC
certification, through the use of energy efficient plant and
materials, and a combination of solar and ground source systems to
augment energy requirements. Equally as important, the key
members of Landid's professional consultants have worked together
as a team for many years and apply the same determination and high
standards to every project, be it a speculative or bespoke
development.
Green agenda
- Global Concern - to reduce carbon
emissions - The issue of climate change is now
universally recognised - The main objective is to reduce carbon
emissions and to encourage a greater
awareness of sustainability issues - This is driving an increased demand
for sustainable products - including
property
The affect of green issues
on property
- Roughly half of all EU energy consumption
is attributed to buildings - 70% of London's emissions come from
buildings - In the UK 17% of carbon emissions are
from commercial buildings and 27%
from homes
