Woolwich New Civic HQ

The New Civic Offices is the central hub of the London Borough of Greenwich's service delivery model and is designed to work in unison with local centres in the adjoining wards. 

The design responds to a wide range of sustainability objectives which flow from both the London Plan and the LBG's commitment to achieving a more considered and responsible approach to the environment.
In addition to achieving an 'EXCELLENT' BREEAM rating a number of innovative features have been integrated into the design, including extensive daylight modelling and thermal simulations, a mixed mode ventilation strategy (enhanced by a 2 skin climate wall increasing the calendar period in which natural ventilation can be used), passive chilled beams (which radiate coolth from the ceiling and 'displacement air' which introduces low velocity tempered air from vents in the floor), a CHP System, Rainwater Harvesting, 500 m² of photovoltaic panels and a series of green and brown roofs enhancing biodiversity.
