·        A CCS score of 36 (awarded both credits plus exemplary level credits) - Contributed by ISG
·        Very low water use fittings
·        Sub metered substantial energy uses
·        Zoned heating and lighting systems
 
Working in partnership with ISG, the Britspace building achieved a BREEAM rating of Excellent with a score of 74.1%. BREEAM sets the standard for best practice in sustainable design and has become one of the most comprehensive and widely recognised measures of a building’s environmental performance.
