ABSTRACT
The property company Lansdown Estates Group (a subsidiary of MEPC) has long had an interest in low-energy design. At Milton Park, a mixed-use business estate of 100 hectares near Abingdon, Oxfordshire, the company has been constructing green commercial buildings for a variety of occupiers since 1989. Using this experience, Lansdown Estates participated in the Department of Energy’s Passive Solar Design research project providing case studies of good practice. In 1994 it also supported the Environmental Code of Practice for Buildings and their Services produced by the Building Services Research and Information Association (BSRIA).
