The Dogs Trust Rehoming Centre at Roden is the first building for the BREEAM commissioned ‘Outstanding’ category. Through achieving 100% of the available credit on management, energy and water use, the clientd finally reached a BREEAM score of 94.44%. Aiming at sustainability from the beginning, the existing Canine Rehoming Centre for the Dogs Trust was redeveloped using insulation from recycled paper, solar PV, a biomass boiler, rainwater harvesting and a green roof for the additional insulation. The project cost £5.25 million in total, but the energy consumption reached a 70% reduction comparing to a traditional rehoming facility.
