Striving for environmental excellence.
The construction of the new halls adheres to HIC’s strict green principles. By minimising the environmental impact of the building works, we will also support the wider day to day impact of HIC locally, regionally and nationally.
We aim to achieve ‘Excellent’ rating under BREEAM (BRE Environmental Assessment Method) – the leading measure of a building’s environmental performance.
Innovative construction elements include:
- enhanced insulation levels to reduce energy consumption
- 100% recycled aluminium roof
- sustainably sourced timber
- biofuelled combined heat and power (CHP) engine which uses sustainably produced rapeseed oil as an alternative to natural gas for heat and electrical power
- rainwater harvesting for toilet flushing
- efficient automatic controls and energy metering
