On Saturday 6th June, 20 colleagues from KJ Tait took part in the 26 mile Macmillan Mighty Hike.

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.

On Saturday 6th June, 20 colleagues from KJ Tait took part in the 26 mile Macmillan Mighty Hike around Ullswater in the Lake District raising an enormous £11,035 for this amazing charity – and the total is still rising!

 

Lush green hills and a lake in the Lake District, England.

The weather was kind to us in the end and despite some tired bodies, a few blisters and lots of sore feet, it was an amazing day all round and a great way to enjoy some stunning views and great company.

 

Will we do it again – most definitely!
