Portishead Retail Park comprised the development of an exemplary low-energy retail unit within a 21,000 ft² retail park on the outskirts of Bristol.

Introba (formerly Elementa Consulting) provided all mechanical, electrical, and public health design work for this scheme, which aimed to be highly sustainable compared to standard retail units of this type.

Key to our work was the development of detailed energy strategies and options appraisals for a range of low-energy technologies. These appraisals resulted in the eventual deployment of a wind turbine and an air source heat pump. Combined with a range of passive carbon management measures, these measures ensured that the building achieved a BREEAM Very Good rating. It is hoped that the building will provide a template for larger sustainable schemes in the future.
