Sustainability

Central Park Sustainability Statement

Treasury Holdings in conjunction with international consultants URS have developed a bespoke assessment framework and toolkit in order to ensure sustainability is considered at each stage of the development lifecycle. These tools go beyond the limitations of traditional assessment tools such as BREEAM which only consider the physical environment but also take into account social and economic factors which contribute to a building‘s sustainability credentials.

At present Central Park uses BREEAM methodology in the design of its buildings. BREEAM (BRE Environmental Assessment Method) is an environmental assessment for buildings. It is a voluntary scheme that aims to quantify and reduce the environmental burdens of buildings by rewarding those designs that take positive steps to minimise their environmental impacts.  The main objectives of the scheme are:

• To distinguish buildings of reduced environmental impact
• To encourage, reward and promote best environmental practice in building design, operation, management and maintenance
• To raise awareness of the benefits of building to better environmental standards

The benefits for the operator of a BREEAM rated building include requirement for less energy, less water consumption and greater thermal comfort.
