Sustainability
Sustainability is of the utmost importance to Your Tribe, which is why we ensure that all of our new developments are lean, clean and green.
We will employ a variety sustainability measures at Tribe Greenwich Quay, including:
- A “fabric first” approach – Using only energy efficient components and materials
- An airtight thermal envelope with accredited thermal bridging prevention – Keeping heat within the building for longer
- Solar PV – At roof level
- Air Source Heat Pumps – Extracting heat from the air to heat the building, reducing carbon emissions
- Potential further use of smart tech – To reduce demand by monitoring usage and encouraging sustainable student behaviour
Through these measures, we intend to achieve at least a 35% reduction in on-site carbon emissions, with a higher figure desired. We will then offset whatever our remaining emissions are, ensuring we are a Net Zero development.
