Units 1-5 at Mercia Park is the first IM Properties' development to achieve Net Zero Carbon in Construction in accordance with the UK Green Building Council's Framework.

By making changes to the construction process, for example providing an on-site concrete batching plant, using biofuels as an alternative to diesel and changing concrete

mix design, the project team were able to reduce 'actual' embodied carbon by 20% from the estimated upfront carbon calculated at design stage.
