The KJ Tait Manchester office recently took part in a LandAid fundraising challenge.

Last night’s Scottish Property Awards in Glasgow recognised 30 Semple Street, Edinburgh with two awards:

  • Net Zero Development of the Year, sponsored by Thomson Gray
  • Architectural Excellence Award (Commercial), sponsored by EQ Accountants, part of the Sumer Group

KJ Tait were appointed as Mechanical and Electrical Engineer for the project, and also as BREEAM Assessor and NABERS Assessor.  This allowed energy strategy, building services design and performance assessment to be considered together from an early stage.

The project demonstrates what can be achieved when operational energy use, carbon performance and design quality are addressed in a coordinated way.  It is encouraging to see this approach recognised.

Our thanks go to the wider project team for their collaboration throughout the design and delivery process.  The awards provided a fitting close to the project.

The KJ Tait Manchester office recently took part in a LandAid fundraising challenge, supporting the charity’s work to end youth homelessness in the UK. 

 

Martin, Mustafa and Richard raised funds through the LandAid platform, contributing to this worthwhile cause along with other practices and consultants from across the built environment sector. 

 

LandAid brings together property and construction professionals to fund projects that provide safe, secure and affordable accommodation for young people.  The charity also supports services that help young people maintain housing, education and employment. 

 

For KJ Tait, this aligns with a wider interest in how the built environment can contribute to social outcomes as well as environmental performance.  While our day to day work focuses on building services engineering, we recognise the role the industry plays in addressing broader challenges. 

 

Congratulations to the the KJ Tait Team who raised £772, well over their target.  But it is not too late to make a contribution and you can do so via the below link:
