Be 'environmentally' friendly

To say that Capital Square is environmentally friendly is an understatement. From the earliest design stages every consideration has been given to ensuring that the building is ecologically sound. Capital Square incorporates solar panels, energy efficient lighting and numerous energy saving initiatives.

An electrically powered VRF heating and cooling system delivers energy efficiency and an Environmental Management System is currently in development, with a view to Capital Square being accredited with the ISO 14001:2015 Environmental Standard.

In keeping with the trend for a healthier commute, by bike or on foot, outstanding facilities are available including secure bike storage, bike tool stations, separate male, female and accessible showers (13 total) and changing facilities with complimentary towel service, private lockers and drying rooms.

The private garden and external seating areas not only provide outstanding space for occupiers to take a break and enjoy fresh air, in addition a biodiversity plan is being developed to include features such as bird nesting boxes and bee hives.

The building will benefit from a BREEAM ‘Excellent’ rating and EPC ‘A’ rating, meaning that not only is it highly sustainable and environmentally sound, from an occupier’s standpoint it is future proofed and highly efficient in terms of running costs.

    Brodies

    Having worked with BAM to deliver first class offices for our colleagues and clients in Glasgow, we are looking forward to doing the same in Edinburgh at Capital Square. Located in the heart of the city's Exchange Business District, Capital Square's design will provide, when fitted out, an outstanding environment for our colleagues and clients. ”

    Nick Scott Managing Partner
    Pinsent Masons

    A relocation is a significant commitment by any business, and it's therefore critical that our new office meets our current and future requirements on a number of levels. We wanted to provide a workplace that can accommodate modern, flexible practises and that delivered accommodation of the highest quality for our staff and clients. We believe we have found that at Capital Square. ”
