Our aim is to achieve significant savings in carbon emissions through energy efficient building design and technology.

We are developing buildings that will connect into a site-wide district heat network incorporating a distributed Combined Heat and Power (CHP) plant with top-up boilers fired by biofuels.

The cooling demands will be met by a combination of absorption chillers fed from the district heat network (tri-generation) and any extra demand from efficient mechanical chillers.

We are also using other renewable technologies including roof mounted wind turbines, photovoltaics, ground source heat pumps and solar thermal systems for generating hot water.

Our target is to cut carbon emissions by at least 40% relative to 2005 levels.

King’s Cross allows us to approach things differently.
