The new Ł13m Scottish Natural Heritage office in Inverness, designed by leading Scottish architect's Keppie Design, in partnership with the Robertson group, has been awarded the highest ever design and procurement rating in the UK for environmental buildings. Now nearing completion, the SNH Building in Inverness achieved a Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Methodology (BREEAM) score of 84%. The Building Research Establishment has confirmed this to be the highest score ever achieved by any building in the UK since the system was introduced in 1998. Keppie Design and Robertson Property won the 6000sqft, passive environmentally designed office tender in October 2004 following an extremely detailed environmental and sustainability brief from SNH.
