What sustainability services did HollenPlus provide for the FT Building refurbishment?

HollenPlus provided a full suite of sustainability services for the 230,000 sq.ft. back-to-frame refurbishment, including BREEAM consultancy, Energy Statements for planning, Whole Life Cycle Carbon Assessments (WLCA), and Post Occupancy Evaluation (POE).

Why is Post Occupancy Evaluation (POE) included in the BREEAM services for the FT Building?

Post Occupancy Evaluation (POE) is a critical part of the BREEAM process that assesses how the building performs in practice once occupied. It helps bridge the gap between design intent and actual operational performance, ensuring the FT Building meets its 'Outstanding' sustainability targets.

Does the FT Building refurbishment include a new façade?

Yes, the project involves a comprehensive back-to-frame refurbishment with a completely new façade. Our Energy Statements and sustainability planning account for the improved thermal performance and carbon impact of these structural upgrades.

How does HollenPlus support BREEAM Outstanding targets for large London offices?

We provide the technical modelling, carbon assessments, and strategic planning required to achieve BREEAM Outstanding. For the 230,000 sq.ft. FT Building, this involves meticulous data verification and the implementation of best-practice sustainability standards from planning through to post-occupancy.
