Worship Square, the first fully net zero carbon scheme by HB Reavis, is under construction and is expected to complete in early 2024.
The building is designed by MAKE Architects and will provide 13,000m2 of workspace and over 800m2 of terracing. It is set to have 50% less embodied carbon compared to current industry benchmarks – equivalent to the average carbon footprint of 3,000 homes.
Once in use, the air source heat pumps will reduce the building’s operational energy through efficient heating, cooling, and smart modelling. Photovoltaic cells on the roof will be providing renewable energy.
Worship Square is designed to achieve 5* NABERS and BREEAM Outstanding certification. It’s also aiming for a WELL Platinum rating, the highest certification for wellbeing – with a multi-functional fitness studio offering tailored classes, high-end changing facilities, 324 cycle spaces for active commuters, and free bookable Brompton bikes and e-scooters to enable active lifestyles.
The building has already received WiredScore Platinum and is one of only three schemes globally to achieve SmartScore Platinum.
The smart technology platform Symbiosy will provide analytics on everything from indoor air quality and temperature to room capacity, together with the ability to adjust settings and transparently show building usage.
People working within the building will have access to the MORE app and will be able to enjoy the team’s personalised concierge service, environmental insights dashboard, and other services.
