Sustainability
During the period of building Chiswick Business Park the soil and rubble was retained on site and reused in landscaping the park. Recycled still and concrete was used when possible. This reduced the waste of row materials, and carbon emission by minimising the number of lorries.
All rainwater from the terrace of the building is collected and reused in watering the plants and lakes. Also water is reduced by using dual flashing system in toilets, so this means less or more water used when needed and washroom hand basin are fitted with spray water. This can reduce 80% the amount of water used in normal taps.
The large glasses from floor to sealing can increase the temperature in the building dramatically. So buildings are fitted with intelligent external louvres which respond to sun position and create a level of shading reduce the need for cooling system.
The energy used in the building is produced by companies that invest in greener energy. Smart
lighting system is used so when an office is empty the lights turn off automatically. Solar thermal panels are mounted on the roofs of the buildings to produce hot water. Also the water and energy used in the building are monitored by building management system, so this means any high usage due to leaks or poor management can be identified on time.
All buildings use paper from the same merchant, after use the paper is recycled and sold back to
the same merchant, that reduces the waste of paper and tree cutting in third world countries. Any other product is sourced by local suppliers when possible, this is done to minimise the energy produced by transporting those products. Also the management team working with other guests have built a green list of products, for example baying non toxic products and 100 % recyclable products.
In Chiswick Business Park chemical use is reduced by 80%, this is achieved by using ultra micro-fibre technology which allows to use less cleaning chemicals. Weedkiller used in paths are replaced with weedbuner , also a friendly bacteria is introduced in the pond to control the algae.
The flower bedding plants in the pots are changed four times a year at Chiswick park, using a polytunnel to keep the plants during winter reduces the need the plant in half, which means reducing the carbon emission on transporting the plants in half.
Green waste from the site is kept in compost hips and approximately 60% of this is braked down
by warms introduced in those places and ready to be reused again. Also the lawnmower used on
site spreads the grass clipping in the existing lawn, this means less fertilise is needed for the lawn, and the carbon footprint minimises by keeping recycling the green waste within the site.
At Chiswick Park employees are encouraged to cycle at work, there are appropriate secure cycling parking, lockers and showers that get the water from solar panels. Also to reduce the carbon footprint there is a buss rout on-site and street car is introduced to use the car that can be shared with many people by using pay as you go scheme. Electric vehicles are being used on site to reduce carbon emission, noise and pollution level.
To increase the biodiversity hedgehog houses are introduced in the gardens to protect them from foxes and cats, also to prevent the being run over during migratory times. warning signs are placed ‘Toads in the road’
At Chiswick Park the make a lot of events such ‘The yellow umbrella day’ to raise money for local charities. Chiswick Park management team helped on planting and caring for 3000 trees on neighbouring Hounslow.
