A new hall of residence providing 130 student beds in a 6-storey building with commercial (retail) space on the ground floor. 

The London Borough Kingston-upon-Thames Local Plan required 20% CO₂ emissions offset from onsite renewable energy generation and the achievement of BREEAM multi-residential. 

SRE provided Energy and Sustainability Statements in support of planning permission and completed the BREEAM Multi-Residential Assessment to achieve a ‘Very Good’ rating.  On-site energy generation includes CHP and both roof and facade mounted PV arrays to meet the planning requirements.
