Trinity House has achieved BREEAM Outstanding, reflecting the commitment to sustainability by the team.
Last night’s Scottish Property Awards in Glasgow recognised 30 Semple Street, Edinburgh with two awards:
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 team set ambitious environmental targets for sustainability, energy efficiency, and for the wellbeing of occupants, maximising the credit score in every BREEAM category to achieve an Outstanding rating with a final score of 89.7%.
BREEAM Outstanding is the highest assessment rating under the BREEAM scheme, and a considerable achievement for the project and for the team.
Well done to all involved!
