Sustainability is at the heart of Ascent. With BREEAM ratings of ‘Very Good’, electric vehicle charging points, PV panels, rooftop beehives, and a new on-site box café, designed to reduce waste and energy consumption.
Reducing Carbon Emissions
Ascent prioritises the retention and refurbishment of the existing building instead of building new, saving thousands of tonnes in embodied carbon emissions
Reclaimed Materials
Several items are across our buildings are being retained, fully refurbished and re-used to reduce the embodied carbon emissions
Sourcing Materials responsibly
All timber has a chain of custody certification such as FSC, and all other key materials are responsibly sourced
Optimising Recycling
A life cycle materials assessment has been undertaken in order to optimise procurement and prioritise materials with recycled content and low embodied carbon
Energy Reduction
A strategy to reduce operational carbon emissions associated with the buildings has been implemented, including LED lighting with PIR sensors, PV panels and efficient air conditioning systems
Greener Choices
With our environmentally conscious Box Park Cafe, Electrical Vehicle charging points and bicycle racks across the park, we make it easy for our community to make greener choices
Bee Hives
Situated close to Ascent/02 you can find an eco-friendly initiative, rooftop beehives that are providing delicious Ascent honey for the park
