3 Sovereign Square - BREEAM Advisory Services
Owned by Leeds City Council, 3 Sovereign Square connects the city center to the emerging South Bank development. It delivers high quality open plan office space, which has attracted a number of professional service organizations.
We advised the Bruntwood and Kier Property joint venture on a strategy that would enable the 90,000-square-foot (8,361-square-metre) building to achieve a BREEAM Excellent rating. Our proposed features included an energy efficient building envelope, low-flow sanitaryware fittings, variable refrigerant flow space heating and cooling, solar photovoltaics, and low-energy lighting and efficient building services. We also recommended a provision for cycle spaces and associated facilities, a brown roof, and seeking high Green Guide rated and responsibly sourced building elements.
Our team also delivered mechanical, electrical, and plumbing performance duties for the scheme, which was designed and built within a very confined site next to busy roads and surrounded by other occupied buildings. We provided design intent documentation and an indicative services strategy for the construction team.
With implementation of these recommendations, convenient links to public transportation and amenities, and a focus on targeting an EPC A rating, 3 Sovereign Square achieved the desired Excellent BREEAM rating.
