Guidance targets distribution centres

The second of five Target Zero guides, covering distribution warehouses, has been published and is now available for download in pdf format at www.targetzero.info

The warehouse guidance provides invaluable information for designers, construction clients and their professional advisors on how to design and construct sustainable warehouses.

Target Zero is a steel construction sector project designed to provide guidance on the design and construction of sustainable, low and zero carbon buildings. Five non domestic building types are being analysed in the project funded by Corus and the BCSA.

A further three building types are being analysed, and these guides are due to be published later this year – a retail building, a medium-to-high-rise office and guidance on a mixed use building.
