We are delighted to be working on a new PBSA development in Edinburgh.

The proposal involves the removal of the existing office building located at 140 Causewayside, making way for a 174-bed student accommodation block.

Working on behalf of Balfour Beatty Investments, Carbon Futures have been appointed as the Energy and Sustainability Consultant with a remit to developing the energy, environmental and decarbonisation / Net Zero strategies.

David MacConnell, Director at Carbon Futures said, "We are thrilled to be supporting Balfour Beatty Investments Ltd on their latest PBSA scheme in Edinburgh. Incorporating sustainability into all elements of the project has been a key objective of the project and it is great to be utilising techniques such as Operational Energy Modelling and Whole Life Carbon Analysis to measure and verify this.

The project is also a fine example of the successes of working collaboratively with a skilled design team including, jmarchitects, Arcadis, Etive Consulting Engineers, Butler Consulting Engineers, OFR Consultants, Montagu Evans, Limited, Sweco, and re-form landscape architecture limited.
