Drummond Street, London: The Lantern – A Beacon of Sustainability
Our newest location in Central London, The Lantern, was chosen specifically for its cutting-edge sustainability features. Here are some of the highlights that are helping us reduce our environmental impact:
Drummond Street’s cutting-edge sustainability features
– Blue Roof Technology: The building features a sustainable drainage system. Therefore, reducing pressure on London’s aging Victorian sewer network by managing rainwater runoff. Plus, the blue roof improves insulation, slashing the building’s energy needs by up to 50%.
– Energy Recovery System: Our ventilation system recovers discharged heat energy to preheat incoming fresh air, enabling the building to recapture up to 60% of this energy.
– Low Carbon Innovations: With low-carbon technologies and high thermal performance built in, the building also achieves an additional 10% carbon reduction through solar power (PV) and solar pre-heating of water.
– And it’s not just about energy efficiency: Natural light fills the building, creating a bright and inviting space that additionally boosts the well-being of our teams and students.
