The new office of The Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders
(SMMT) has been awarded the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors’
(RICS) Bronze Ska Certificate for environmental performance.
The office, within a building constructed in the 1970s, was
refurbished to contemporary regulatory standards in conjunction
with building services consultants Chapman Bathurst to ensure
efficient lighting and water usage with a minimum of waste, making
use of low-global-warming-potential insulation and sustainable wood
sources.

challenging but rewarding project,” said Nigel Pavey, Director of
Engineering at Chapman Bathurst.
