Torus Building - the Green route to Success

Ecebs Limited, are fast approaching the first anniversary of life in our new office space in the carbon friendly Torus Building, located within the Scottish Enterprise Technology Park in East Kilbride.

Named after a mathematical term for a geometric pattern with a hole in the middle, the building was designed to be as eco-friendly as possible and is one of the first private office buildings in Scotland built to the BREEAM (Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Method) standards. This has been achieved by avoiding air conditioning through natural ventilation, thermal mass and solar shading, by generating electricity on site through a 25 metre high wind turbine, by energy efficient construction, building services and controls, by recycling building materials, by minimising waste and by providing good access to public transport and facilities for cyclists.

The building also features a large glass covered central atrium which helps aid ventilation and floods the surrounding office space with natural daylight, thus reducing the risk of ‘sick office syndrome’.

David Braddock, Managing Director of Ecebs commented, “Our staff benefit from the building’s many environmentally friendly features and we are all delighted with the move. We are truly pleased to have relocated our principle office and operations to the Torus Building. It’s innovative design provides an environment that matches our innovation driven culture and we expect to continue to create great things here.”
