Base will be the first new development at Manchester Science Park to incorporate measures towards the achievement of Net Zero Carbon; including an A-rated EPC together with 750 m2 of PV solar power providing 20% of the building’s energy demand and reducing its carbon footprint by 22%, and a hybrid heating and cooling system utilising water as a heat transfer. Demand Side Response will also be integrated into the Building Management System to allow power to be drawn directly from the solar PV or battery storage. Battery capability is also being installed for future use, similar to that in place at the neighbouring Bright Building.
The surrounding area will also be redeveloped providing additional green space and areas to socialise or have external informal meetings on the campus, and to improve the West / East link through the campus for local residents and customers to the Oxford Road.
