Valor - SA Cannning Town ESG project

5A Canning Town

In 2023 we incorporated multiple sustainable initiatives into our new build scheme, 5A Canning Town, London, as detailed below. This Net Zero Carbon scheme was awarded an EPC A and BREEAM Excellent.

  • Installation of low u-value materials and passive design measures, coupled with the deployment of PV and ASHP which has led to a reduction in regulated emissions by 81% compared to the Part L 2013 baseline.
  • Assessment into the operational energy consumption using CIBSE TM22 and 54. This assessment showed that lighting is the highest energy consumer at the asset. Steps have been taken to improve performance by installing LED lighting, with the potential to use a Digital Addressable Lighting Interface.
  • Installation of energy sub-meters for enhanced performance monitoring.
  • Installation of electric vehicle charging points across 37.5% of onsite parking areas, exceeding the 2021 London Plan requirement of 20%.
  • Installation of 12 long term cycle spaces onsite with a green roof to the cycle shelters.
  • Installation of low-flow white goods and sanitaryware fittings, coupled with pulsed water meters, leak detection systems and solenoid valves to detect and reduce impact of water leaks both within the building and between the building and the site boundary.
  • Completion of a thermographic site walkover to identify and repair any continuity errors in the insulation since the building was designed to limit the amount of thermal bridging issues  which may occur and induce heat loss within the structure.
