The building was constructed in 2002 and lay vacant for a number of years prior to a long-term tenancy being secured by Newham Borough Council to bring a number of council departments into one building.
Greengage generated an EPC for the building. The information gathered from this exercise allowed Newham to undertake measures that would improve the rating of the building.
The EPC was one of the first produced in the UK for a large office building and gave the building a āDā rating which was poorer than expected given the date of construction ā the large amounts of glazing increasing the amount of energy used to cool the space.
