Following our shortlisting, energy efficient serviced offices and film studios Tannery Studios are excited to announce we were commended at the CREST Business Awards for Corporate Responsibility for the Environment and a Sustainable Tomorrow.
Energy Efficient Serviced Offices Surrey
Tannery Studios were commended in category ‘Efficiency Champion’ and we’re thrilled that our passion for the environment and the effort put into ensuring we maximise natural resources is being acknowledged.
Sustainability through use of natural resources
Tannery Studios office spaces and studio rentals feature energy-efficient windows that provide natural light in the daytime, reducing the need for electric lighting a majority of daylight hours. The roof and drainpipes have been rerouted to connect to a future 100,000 litre water storage tank with sufficient capacity to flush at least 50 toilets across the site.
Rainwater harvesting pipework is installed across the site, and the air conditioning condensate will, where possible, gravity drain or, if not possible, pump feed into the rainwater recovery system.
Energy efficient serviced offices by minimising energy use
Every room is equipped with an IP-connected fuse board to monitor power, lighting, and heating circuits. Each tenant can view their own usage, and building metrics will be visible at the entrance to use psychology to drive down unnecessary energy usage.
The former fluorescent tube lighting has been replaced with modern LEDs. All the office lights are IP connected and controlled via photosensors/PIR so that they dim on a sunny day and save 20-25% of expected use. There are no conventional light switches onsite and the control system allows lighting to be allocated to different zones avoiding wasteful rewiring, and the common areas are all PIR controlled so areas are only lit when populated.
Working in a sustainable workspace at Tannery Studios
Tannery Studios attracts a range of creative businesses such as architects, marketing agencies, and technology-based companies, all of which rely strongly on technology. In addition, the onsite video studios require energy usage for recording content. To minimise the effect this work has on the environment, energy efficient equipment is installed throughout for the operation of the business, so that our tenants can minimise their utility use.
