Our South West team has now completed a milestone project, the 4-star voco Zeal Exeter Science Park, finalising the construction of the UK’s first branded Net Zero Carbon hotel.
Innovations in the design and construction mean the hotel is operating with industry-leading benchmark-setting Energy Use Intensity (EUI) levels, a critical measure that will define building sustainability in the decades to come.
The 100% electric hotel is a prototype for what’s possible and evidence of how our expertise can help deliver projects that put the South West’s innovation on the map nationally. Implementing the UK’s first vertical photovoltaic cladding system, we have ensured voco Zeal Hotel generates more solar energy each year than the building consumes, integrated into multiple facades in a way that enhances the hotel’s overall design.
Our South West’s Managing Director, Derek Quinn, commented “Zeal Hotel has got to be an exemplar for all newly built hotels, highlighting what is achievable when collaboration and ambition meet.”
Huge congratulations to the whole project team, this is certainly one to remember!
