Impact
2nd Floor, 63 Poland Street, 

Soho, London W1F 7NY

We’re green by default.

We aim to leave a legacy of green buildings behind us, knowing that we’ve done all we can to decarbonise our buildings.

We pledge to leave this world in a better place than we found it.

02 Our Performance
We pride ourselves on re-use over new build, focusing strongly on saving carbon at every possible opportunity. If materials can be re-used, and can be fit for purpose going forwards then why would you replace them? The chart below shows the amount of carbon V7 have saved by re-using existing buildings:

During our transformation projects, it is equally important to look ahead and focus on creating buildings that are highly energy efficient, result in no operational carbon and are low cost to run. The chart below shows how our projects are projected to perform compared to the RIBA 2030 target:

03 Our Commitment
We pledge to leave this world in a better place than we found it. We aim to leave a legacy of green buildings behind us, knowing that we’ve done all we can to decarbonise our buildings.
We take our responsibility very seriously and fully support the UK and global transition to Net Zero. We work in accordance with the UKGBC net zero carbon buildings framework and we are fully committed to exceeding the Paris Agreement target of 1.5ºC degrees by 2030 and net zero carbon by 2050.

As part of the project brief, we set ourselves and the project team the following targets:

Targets

Operational Energy
  • Energy Use Intensity (EUI)
  • Major refurbishment target by 2030
    • Whole Building EUI 70kWh/m²(GIA)/yr
    • Base Building EUI 45kWh/m²(GIA)/yr
  • New Build target by 2030
    • Whole Building EUI 55kWh/m²(GIA)/yr
    • Base Building EUI 30kWh/m² (GIA)/yr
  • EPC
    • Minimum EPC A rating for both refurbishments and new builds
  • Energy
    • Utilise TM54 or PHPP energy modelling for all new projects.
Embodied Carbon
  • Whole Life Cycle
    (A1-A5, B1-B5, C1-C4 including sequestration)
  • Major Refurbishment
    • Less than 150 kgCO₂e/m² (GIA) by 2030
  • New Build
    • Less than 750 kgCO₂e/m² (GIA) by 2030
Potable Water Use
  • Daily Use Target
    • Less than 10 litres per person per day by 2030.
Climate Change Adaption
  • BREEAM
    • BREEAM Wst 05 – Adaptation to Climate Change report to be completed.
Biodiversity
  • Urban Greening
    • More than 10% biodiversity net gain on each site
    • Minimum Urban Greening Factor of 0.3
Post Occupancy
  • Timing
    • Post occupancy evaluation is to be completed within 12 months of reaching 75% occupancy.
Fossil fuel use
  • Grid Restriction
    • No new connections to the gas grid. No new fossil fuel heat sources.
Construction
  • Waste
    • Less than 3.5t/100m²
    • 98% diverted from landfill.
    • 50% diverted from incineration/EfW.
    • A minimum Certified Construction Specifier (CCS) score of 40 points.
  • Timber
    • 100% PEFC / FSC certified timber.
  • Renewable Electricity
    • 100% renewable electricity procured.
  • Health and Safety
    • Zero reportable environmental or H&S incidents.
Building Operation
  • UKGBC NZC
    • Complete the UKGBC NZC – Operational Energy Minimum Reporting Template on an annual basis.
  • Renewable Energy
    • Source 100% renewable energy for building operations through a green tariff supported by REGOs, showcasing additionality.
  • NABERS Certification
    • Two years after certification of completion (or after one year of operation if no refurb/construction undertaken), seek NABERS Energy for Offices rating.

Mandatory Certificates

BREEAM
  • Minimum Rating
    • We strive for BREEAM Outstanding where feasible.
WELL / Fitwel
  • New Build
    • WELL Platinum
    • Fitwel 3*
  • Major or Minor Refurbishments
    • WELL Gold
    • Fitwel 2*
NABERS
  • Minimum rating
    • Achieve NABERS 4.5* rating on all new construction and major refurbishments until 2025 and 5* by 2030 as technology improves.
    • Once the building is operational and within 12 months of completion, V7 will apply for the NABERS Energy for Offices certificate.
