Our 80 Charlotte Street offices
We moved into 80 Charlotte Street, W1, in 2021. The building is Derwent London’s first net-zero carbon building. The building’s design aims to achieve 28% lower embodied carbon intensity than the RICS benchmark, with estimated embodied carbon of 850kg CO2e per m2, versus the RICS Building Carbon Database (offices) average benchmark of 1177kg CO2e per m2.
The building also features air source heat pumps on the roof provide heating and cooling and therefore avoiding the need for traditional gas boilers which are more carbon intensive and 80m2 of solar thermal panels located on the roof will heat the domestic hot water reducing the building’s requirement for grid electricity.
