In 2004 Gazeley launched an EcoTemplate for developing environmentally and socially responsible warehousing at low cost across Europe and the rest of the world; the groundbreaking research, shows that at a cost of just 50p more per sq ft on standard industry build costs significant environmental improvements can be made covering landscape issues; C02 emissions; energy savings; water usage; recyclable and prefabricated materials. EcoTemplate re-examines current construction practices and makes recommendations for everything from grass and polycarbonate roofs, and natural ventilation to wind and solar power and roof water collection mechanisms.
