For industrial developments of this scale, balancing operational and environmental performance is complex. The challenge was to reduce embodied carbon in construction while preserving the integrity and durability demanded by a modern industrial facility. Material use and on-site practices needed to be carefully managed to meet ambitious sustainability goals.
RedSix worked collaboratively with the project team to provide clear, concise, and actionable BREEAM advice throughout the process.
Key strategies included:
Material Efficiency: Structural specifications for steel and concrete were refined to reduce volumes and weights, maintaining performance while minimising resource use.
On-Site Sustainability: Construction practices were designed to minimise waste, conserve water and energy, and reduce overall embodied carbon.
Clear Communication: Our team delivered tailored, easy-to-understand guidance for C4 and their contractors, ensuring that sustainability ambitions translated into practical, measurable outcomes.
Sheffield Business Park demonstrates how early engagement with a trusted BREEAM partner can unlock higher sustainability standards and meaningful carbon reductions, even in demanding industrial projects. At RedSix, we pride ourselves on clear, concise, and expert sustainability guidance that empowers clients to deliver on their environmental commitments without compromise.
