Sustainable office design discussed in podcast

Office design news from Morgan Lovell

Published on 27-09-2010

Ewan Tozer of Orangebox has discussed simple methods of sustainable office design in the latest Green Office podcast from Morgan Lovell.

He argued that taking a common sense and cost-effective approach to green responsibilities is straightforward and relies on innovation rather than costly large expense.

For example, he advised providing seat covers for staff - as this is the area where seats often wear out first and protecting this area can prolong the life of the object indefinitely.

"Most environmental initiatives make good business sense as they reduce waste and can save money," Mr Tozer stated.

Elsewhere, Paul Anderson, programme director for infrastructure outsourcing at Capgemini, recently stated that the introduction of the new Merlin data centre could go a long way towards helping companies improve their energy efficiency and sustainability.

The building aims to set new standards in the sector and is constructed from materials sourced locally and responsibly.
