3Space included in the Green Building Council’s Solutions Library

UKGBC is a charity that is uniting the UK’s building industry, using sustainability, from both an environmental and social standpoint, to positively transform the spaces we use everyday. 

We are pleased to be included in their recently launched ‘Solutions Library’; a collation of solutions and case studies that provide answers to our sustainability questions.

Our solution makes better, more productive and efficient use of property assets to deliver social and economic impact. “75 percent of the carbon emitted during a building’s lifecycle comes from its construction and demolition, just 25 percent from its operations.” This means that re-using and repurposing existing buildings provides improved environmental outcomes, specifically with regards to embodied carbon, compared to new construction. Existing buildings are also better suited to providing affordable and diverse types of space and they can be operated and fitted out at significantly lower costs than new ones. The lower operating costs means there is the potential to deliver high public value and greater benefits for the community.
