Butterfield Business Park

Butterfield Business Park is a mix of office buildings ranging from 650m2 to 2,500m2 split over two floors set within a new regional business park.

The scheme as a whole is built around an innovative environmental strategy that is designed to make the buildings operate with a carbon footprint for environmental control that is 80% less than that for equivalent air conditioned office buildings.

The passive design strategy incorporates an innovative underground earth duct system, pre-cooling and pre-heating fresh air into the buildings, exposed concrete soffits absorbing energy and controlling temperature fluctuations, and a high performance building envelope.

On completion, the scheme won the Green Development Award 2007 at the Office Agents Society’s annual awards and also awarded a BREEAM ‘Excellent’ rating.
