Targeting retail savings

The third of the five Target Zero guides, covering retail buildings, will be published shortly and available for download in pdf format at www.targetzero.info

The Target Zero Retail Guidance provides invaluable information for designers, construction clients and their professional advisors on how to design and construct sustainable and cost effective retail structures.

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 Tata Steel and the BCSA. Guides on secondary schools and distribution warehouses have already been published.

Two more building types – medium to high rise offices and mixed-use buildings – are being analysed, and these guides are also due to be published in the new year.
