Glasgow’s First Net Zero Office Building Opens its Doors
06 December 2021
Scotland’s most sustainable office development, Cadworks is now officially open, having been completed to coincide with COP26. Located in Glasgow City Centre, Cadworks is the city’s first office building that is Net Zero Carbon in operation. Part of the space has been already let to law firm TLT.
The 94,000 sq. ft. Grade A office building developed by Fore Partnership features the city’s first cycle-in access ramp, extensive facilities for the growing number of Glasgow cyclists, and has the city’s first private fleet of Swifty Scooters for tenants to use free.
Cadworks is the city’s first office building that is Net Zero Carbon in operation, an achievement made possible through extensive innovations in building materials, on-site electricity generation via solar panels, and high efficiency all-electric heating and cooling systems. Rated BREEAM Excellent and EPC A, the building uses no fossil fuels, and 100% of waste will be diverted from landfills.
The building is also the first Glasgow office development to use a pioneering paint, Airlite, that removes greenhouse gases from the air and has been proven to kill 99% of viruses. This has helped the building receive a Gold AirScore accreditation for its excellent indoor air quality.
The high-tech specification includes the city’s best digital infrastructure and Cadworks has been rated ‘Platinum’ by WiredScore.
The building is being let by Ryden, Savills and Avison Young.
