SAINSBURY'S, HARDWICK PLACE, KING'S LYNN

'Nothing we do in this team is green wash, we believe it is going to add value,' says Salisbury's head of sustainability, energy and engineering, Paul Crewe. 'We want to trial technologies and processes and if they are proven right we adopt them and make them part of our DNA.' The new 72,000ft~2 store at King's Lynn was designed, with CHQ Architects, to use 50% less carbon than a store of a similar scale built in 2005/6. As measured in operation it actually used 60% less. Heavily insulated cladding panels meant 30% less heat was needed in store, on the roof 1000 photovoltaic panels supply 5% of the store's electricity (when the sun is out) while solar reflectors bring in daylight, and LED lights were used where possible. Mains water use was cut by 50% thanks to rainwater harvesting, time control taps and water efficient equipment.
