Sustainability Part L 28% better than 2002 levels, 35% better by 2016 Mayor’s office ‘10% of energy supplied from low carbon depletion technology’ Uvalues 50% of facade glazed to balance daylight autonomy and energy flows The envelope of the building has been functionally designed with high efficiency facades of low Uvalue. Each facade has been engineered in relation to its orientation Benefit from mixed use by shifting heat from ‘exothermic’ activities, (casinomeeting offices), to more ‘endothermic’ activities, (hotel) The site offers immediate benefits for sustainablity by concentrating population at one of London’s major transport nodes within close proximity to rail, underground, bus, cycle and pedestrian routes.
