  2. All buildings achieve EPC A, 11/13 BREEAM ENE 01 points and will undergo post-occupancy evaluation to ensure any energy-performance gap is closed
  3. All buildings reduce water consumption by 44% compared to a typical building baseline
  4. The buildings have been designed to maximise user comfort through thermal comfort strategies, ambient indoor noise levels and provision of outdoor rest areas
  5. An ecological scheme that delivers a significant net-gain in on-site biodiversity
  6. Highest levels of responsible construction with the scheme scoring a Considerate Constructors Scheme (CCS) score of 40
  7. Waste minimised through construction with less than 1.9 tonnes/100m² floor area produced and 95%+ diverted from landfill 
  8. 26,000 tonnes of aggregates are site-won, i.e. sourced from on-site crushing of existing materials, taking 1,300 truck deliveries off the roads
  9. On-site transport innovation through the provision of Coventry’s first cycle share scheme
