At CSS we are committed to the promotion of reduced energy options on all client projects. We focus on the reduction of the overall carbon footprint for clients.
CSS take a balanced approach in assessing energy efficiency and the operational needs. In all aspects of design we advise our clients clearly on the building energy assessments & BER rating options available.
We work with suppliers who are committed to the use of sustainable materials and packaging to reduce the overall environmental impact of a project. We also provide a full building energy audit and BER rating certification package. Call 01 619 2016 or email hello@spaceservices.ie to talk through your requirements.
Legalisation now requires that all facilities build or offered for rent or for sale after 2009 must have a building energy rating certificate.
Larger office facilities can benefit from alternative energy options including Building Energy Assessment & BER Rating services.
A large amount of existing office facilities have not undergone building energy assessments at the design stage as it was not a criteria at the time of construction.
Zurich Insurance have operated out of the 36,500 sq ft Ballsbridge facility since 1991. With the services within the office space reaching the end of their useful lifespan the decision was taken to completely refurbish the office facility. The office refurbishment project offered a number of opportunities to bring the facility in line with current business goals. This included reduction in carbon footprint to meet energy savings targets. The overall project was completed while staff remained within the facility. It included stripping each of the floors back to shell status. It also involved installation of all new finishes in line with the new layouts. These were prepared to meet the needs of Zurich’s Dynamic workplace platform which provided for open plan meeting spaces as well as the traditional enclosed spaces.
