Thomas Sinden were appointed by Tandridge District Council to deliver the sustainable retrofit of Quadrant House in Caterham, with retail/restaurant units on the ground floor and approximately 38,000 sq ft of office space above.
The refurbishment works included adding thermal insulation to the building fabric, replacing old windows, providing a centralised heat pump air conditioning system with heat recovery, and upgrading to LED lighting, significantly improving the environmental sustainability of Quadrant House.
The introduction of a living wall and greenery on the roof terrace contributes to improved air quality and biodiversity in Caterham town centre. It is calculated that the works have the potential to reduce carbon emissions by up to 44%, equivalent to approximately 110 kg of carbon dioxide per annum.
The project received funding from the Coast to Capital Local Enterprise Partnership and supports the Council’s priorities of supporting economic recovery in Tandridge and becoming a greener, healthier and more sustainable district.
The building was officially opened by the Chairman of Tandridge District Council, Councillor Jackie Wren and Business Account Manager, Izzy Pompova from Coast to Capital.
I would like to take this opportunity to wholeheartedly thank you for the very many hours of hard work and for your dedication and professionalism. You have been a great team to work with and the building looks completely transformed.
Kate Haacke – Tandridge District Council
