With planned development Caerphilly Business Park in South Wales has become a very useful and in demand business site which is also environment friendly due to which it has received ‘Excellent’ rating from BREEAM. It has been development by WCR Property which started the development in 2000.

The business site will be divided in five phases out of which four have been completed and will provide 100,000 sq. ft. of excellent office space. These four phases also include a restaurant. Phase 5 is still to be completed. Once finished, it will add another 12,000 sq. ft. of shared offices and is expected to get a higher rating from BREEAM as compared to the earlier phases.

WCR Property is trying to make a more environment friendly office space by using sustainable sources of energy. It is also trying to make the working environment more comfortable for the people who will be working in the offices by keeping the environment around the site clean. It has taken the same approach in many of its other buildings.

According to Mike Wallace, WCR’s director, the company has kept in mind both commercial profits and environment protection while designing and executing this project. The innovations used in the building to save energy conserve the environment and at the same time reduce the bills of electricity etc. Further, the offices will have access to fresh air which will reduce the need for AC and thus will reduce illness caused by constant use of AC.

According to the Government officials the energy saving technology used by WCR Property should be followed by other developers in the UK as well.
