Hackney

Last year we undertook a major refurbishment of a 1990’s warehouse on Lee Conservancy Road in Hackney. We chose to refurbish an existing building rather than demolish and rebuild as we saw
this as an opportunity to bring an asset lacking in energy saving credentials up to modern standards, without releasing unnecessary embodied carbon and creating excess waste material by way of a complete redevelopment.

The asset is targeting an EPC rating of ‘A’ in 2024, following the implementation of the below environmental initiatives.

• Complete lighting upgrades to high-efficiency LEDs across the entire warehouse.
• Installation of PV panels on the roof of the warehouse.
• Installation of electric vehicle charging stations across several parking spaces. 30% of parking spaces are EV, exceeding the 2021 London Plan requirement of 20%.
• Heating system upgrades to deliver efficiency improvements.
• Responsible sourcing of materials during the refurbishment works, minimising waste and maximising recycling.
