Sustainability
Sustainability is an integral part to all Hill Group projects and the redevelopment of College Green is no exception.
The new College Green will deliver the following sustainability commitments:
Our three pillars of sustainability
ENVIRONMENTAL
• Taking care of our natural resources
• Reducing our environmental impacts
SOCIAL
• People come first
• Communities and customers
• Tackling homelessness
GOVERNANCE
• Strategy and responsible business
• Reporting and assurance
• Future-proofing
| The project is targeting high energy efficiency and sustainability standards in line with the Brent and London plan policies and the national building regulations part L and part O (Energy efficient homes with an EPC rating of B minimum). |  |
| The proposals have optimal orientation and glazing areas appropriately sized to provide balance between daylighting and overheating risk mitigation. |  |
| A fabric first approach will be utilised to minimise energy demand prior to the implementation of any low or zero carbon technologies. |  |
| Efficient services will be incorporated including mechanical ventilation with heat recovery and highly efficient LED fittings. |  |
| An all-electric energy strategy is proposed to provide 100% of the heating and hot water demand, based on commununal air source heat pumps. |  |
| Photovoltaic panels on available roof space will be installed as far as feasible. |  |
| Each home will have a dedicated cycle store to promote healthy living and active travel. |  |
