Case Study: HB Reavis achieves net zero carbon workplace goals with Jensen Hughes fire engineering

HB Reavis delivers Worship Square with Jensen Hughes, cutting embodied carbon 50%

HB Reavis, the developer of the Worship Square office building in London, faced the challenge of creating a highly sustainable and smart commercial building while meeting complex fire safety regulations. They engaged the consulting firm Jensen Hughes to develop a comprehensive fire strategy that could accommodate the project's innovative design and desired occupancy levels from the initial concept through to construction.

Jensen Hughes developed the fire strategy, addressing key site constraints and designing exit routes to support the client's requirements. Their team provided technical solutions for design deviations from standard codes and conducted quantitative assessments to demonstrate regulatory compliance. Throughout the construction stage, Jensen Hughes offered ongoing support, including site inspections, to ensure the fire strategy principles were properly implemented. As a result, Jensen Hughes helped HB Reavis deliver Worship Square, a benchmark for net zero carbon construction that achieved SmartScore Platinum certification and aims for BREEAM Outstanding.
