PROJECT CASE STUDY - HQ4 Canning Town

Sustainable HVAC Installation and Waste Reduction Initiative

London AC is proud to have delivered the HVAC installation at the prestigious HQ4 development in Canning Town, London for Bouygues UK. This project showcases not only our technical capability but also our commitment to sustainability and environmental responsibility

Reducing Our Carbon Footprint

In line with our company-wide sustainability goals, London AC has been working closely with our supplier, GreenMill to identify practical ways to reduce our carbon footprint. One key focus area has been the reduction of cardboard waste from material deliveries.

For the HQ4 project, we implemented a reusable plastic crate delivery system, our first site to fully adopt this approach. Materials were delivered loose in durable plastic crates, used on-site, and then returned to the supplier for reuse on subsequent deliveries.

This simple but effective change has significantly reduced cardboard waste and the emissions associated with single-use packaging. Over just a few orders, we avoided using around two pallets of cardboard boxes, saving an estimated 131.6 kg of CO₂e and 140 kg of packaging waste. The overall environmental impact of the initiative has shown strong results and a potential for wider rollout across future projects.
