BFF client scoops sustainability award
Mon 29 Jun 2009
BFF client Sheppard Robson has been awarded the "Most Sustainable Practice" award from Architecture Journal. The award is sponsored by another BFF client InterfaceFlor. In 2008 Sheppard Robson commissioned BFF to assess the carbon and ecological footprints of their annual office activities in London and Manchester. The results from the study have enabled them to develop a strategy to monitor and reduce their footprint in the future.
Sheppard Robson’s designated sustainability group, SR:Evolution, founded in 2000, currently numbers 14 people. They participate in project design at three stages: at the outset, to agree sustainability objectives with the client; during the design stage to prioritise a project’s social, economic and environmental aspects; and post-occupancy, to benchmark the building’s performance.
The practice has completed five BREEAM Excellent-rated buildings in the past year. Sheppard Robson was also a founding partner of SKA Rating, a recently launched environmental measurement tool for interior fit-outs, and participated in beta-testing for CarbonBuzz, the RIBA/CIBSE online tool for post-occupancy energy monitoring. The practice has measured its own carbon footprint since 2004
