Adnams brewery in Suffolk has built a distribution centre with the largest green roof in the UK.
Solar panels will provide 80% of the hot water, reed beds purify their waste water, and the building blocks are made from lime, hemp and quarry waste. Whilst the cost of the building is 15% higher than normal, they say that the "additional investment is justified in the long term by significantly lower energy usage and greater efficiency."
That's the right kind of attitude, the right kind of leadership, on environmental design.
