The facts behind the sustainability story
8 Bishopsgate is the first tower to speculatively target — and now achieve — BREEAM Outstanding and EPC A rating.
Low embodied and operation carbon thanks to every element of the building being optimised from foundation materials to reduced cooling demand.
Powered by sustainable and smart technologies. An AI integrated analytics platform captures, analyses and shares energy performance, while the unique floor-by-floor air provision can be tailored to the individual preferences of each business.
Urban planting across accessible roof terraces and throughout the building boost biodiversity and enhance each person’s experience, while innovative ways of reusing water reduce the demand and, therefore, environmental impact.
