Build To Suit : Designing the Building

Applying robust design guidelines to each new facility, ProLogis delivers consistently high quality buildings that not only meet the customer’s operational needs, but also help to reduce occupational costs and the customer’s carbon footprint.

ProLogis is the first industrial property company in the UK to announce that all newly developed build-to-suit warehouse facilities will be certified Carbon Neutral, which means that the customer can make a positive environmental impact as soon as it moves into its new building.

All new ProLogis buildings are designed and constructed to:

  • Operate as passively as possible to minimise the need for energy use
  • Maximise the efficiency of essential energy usage
  • Eliminate the impact of embodied carbon
  • Where possible, include Low or Zero Carbon (LZC) systems to meet the customer’s individual business requirements

Each building is designed to achieve a minimum BREEAM ‘Excellent’ accreditation and for buildings over 150,000 sq ft, ProLogis aims for an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) ‘A’ rating.
