BREEAM Assessment and Achievements
The new ARU building will help boost the local market and economy by bringing more students to Peterborough. Additionally, the new building and its facilities will contribute to closer links with local schools providing immersive displays, talks and potentially evening classes via its newly created education spaces.
Contribution to Planning Consent: BREEAM Very Good
Impressively, this commitment to sustainability has not come at the expense of ecological enhancements, as evidenced by the inclusion of a dedicated green roof. It has been a privilege to work alongside a client and contractor steadfast in their commitment to sustainability and environmental objectives.”

We recently renovated a large early Edwardian home. Part of the planning approval was the need to obtain an excellent rating from BREEAM in our renovation. This covered everything from responsibly sourcing materials to energy efficient heat pumps and solar panels. Not being a developer the whole BREEAM process was very difficult to understand at first. Luckily we had Encon, and in particular, Glenn on our side. They provided invaluable advice and guidance, were reachable all the time and processed everything in a very timely manner. What was important was that we were able to seek their advice and counsel before we made key purchasing decisions. BREEAM is a complicated process and can seem overwhelming if unfamiliar with it. Having Encon on board with us had helped us achieve our goals of having an environmentally excellent renovation of a 1905 house.
