With the government’s 2050 net zero carbon target approaching, adopting circularity methods in the built environment is no longer an aspiration but an imperative.
Project Edenica is the future of sustainability. This 12- Storey, 95,000 sq. ft office development is pioneering the use of “Material Passports”- digital data sets that describe and value material characteristics for present use, recovery and future reuse. These passports ensure building materials can be repurposed for future projects, significantly reducing carbon emissions and increasing recycled materials within the industry.
In collaboration with BauMont Real Estate Capital, YardNine, and Fletcher Priest Architects, Mace is delivering an all-electric building that will use 70% less operational energy than standard regulations require. Our holistic focus on safety and wellbeing ensures a safe, comfortable and sustainable building. This includes implementing features like underfloor air systems, hybrid ventilation and nearly 8,730 sq ft of communal green space with smart tank water-recycling technology. Another sustainable aspect of the development includes the prefabricated concrete envelope boasting a 120-year design life that significantly reduces carbon emissions. Future-proof flexibility was also considered, with the building’s widely spaced steel frame’s saving on embodied carbon and allowing for space adaptability.
As a result of our dedication to circular economy construction practices, Edenica won the “Best Net Zero Project” award at the Consultancy and Engineering Awards (2023). By leveraging Material Passports, we reduce the building’s carbon footprint and shape a future where materials are endlessly repurposed, creating healthier and more adaptable buildings in the London’s commercial real estate market.
