At Pearce Bottomley Architects, we are committed to promoting the sustainability of the built environment from the inception of each project. By using passive solar design, natural ventilation, specification of traditional, local materials, and the promotion of high thermal efficiency we can ensure that the carbon usage and environmental impact of our buildings is minimised cost effectively.

 

We are able to design and manage projects to comply with Building Regulations Part L and regularly select materials with reference to ‘The Green Guide to Specification’.

 

We have achieved BREEAM ‘excellent’ on two Environment Agency Offices - a new build in Ely, Cambridgeshire and a refurbishment of an existing building in Peterborough.

 

In the past, we have also carried out our own environmental assessments on our healthcare designs based on the NHS Environmental Assessment. This has recently been replaced with BREEAM healthcare, in which we hope to achieve a minimum of ‘excellent’ on all our current healthcare schemes by working closely with other members of the design team.
