Here is a British building which takes passive design seriously. At the Innovate Green Office in Leeds, called the UK's greenest building because it achieved the highest ever BREEAM rating of 87.5 per cent when assessed last year, there is not a single renewable technology in sight. This project exemplifies what passive design can achieve, starting from first principles - orientation, exploitation of thermal mass, optimisation of plan depth and building section to maximise daylight, and a heavily insulated envelope. Not only have all the obvious moves been realised, but extensive study of different options during the design phase meant that the project was thoroughly assessed for its environmental performance before the design was even finalised.
