Congratulations to everyone involved in reaching this milestone! We could not have achieved these recognitions without the hard work and dedication of every firm that collaborated to create Sidara's London HQ, 150 Holborn.   Dar Perkins&Will Currie & Brown Penspen Maffeis Engineering Introba Portland Design Schneider Electric Ideal Planon WiredScore   #Sidara #SidaraCollaborative #HomeforHumanEndeavor #150Holborn #SmartTechnology #Innovation

The implementation of smart technology can revolutionize how we live and work, shaping a future more interconnected and efficient than ever before.      At our Sidara London headquarters, 150 Holborn, we are dedicated to fostering shared learning and innovation. This is brought to life not only by providing collaborative workspaces for our firms, but also by leveraging our building’s cutting-edge smart technology.      150 Holborn's smart technology learns from every person who walks through its doors, whether that be for an event we’re hosting, a building tour, or a normal day of work. A digital twin of the building utilizes sensors to measure energy usage and collect data about how people use each space. This allows continuous optimization of environmental performance over time and consistently ensures occupant comfort.      This “living lab” practice is the first time that intelligent building technology has been collected in such a way and for these purposes in the UK. Its scalable foundations also uphold our brand values by supporting collaboration, sustainability, productivity, and well-being.       150 Holborn is on track to achieve LEED Platinum certification with a target score of 86 credits. It was also certified under BREEAM New Construction 2014, and achieved a total design stage score of 89.9%, well above the “Outstanding” threshold of 85%. The building is projected to achieve 98% in BREEAM Post Construction Certification.      Learn more in-depth details about our HQ’s smart technology. ▶ https://lnkd.in/gJwQtrZM        Dar Perkins&Will Currie & Brown Penspen Maffeis Engineering Introba Portland Design    #Sidara #SidaraCollaborative #HomeforHumanEndeavor #150Holborn #SmartTechnology #Innovation #Sustainability 

With just under 2,000 days remaining to achieve the 2030 climate goals set by the World Green Building Council, our industry’s next steps in #BuildingtheTransition will be crucial in shaping the future. At the recent World Green Building Council Leadership Summit held at Sidara’s London Headquarters, 150 Holborn, 52 Green Building Councils and numerous built environment leaders from around the world convened to share ideas and create tangible impacts from the WGBC's strategy, which will bring us a step closer to the goals we're set to reach over the next six years.    37% of the world's emissions come from the built environment. Removing, or even significantly reducing this, will be no small feat to accomplish. As a host venue for the summit and active member, we recognize that our greatest opportunity to have a positive impact on the planet and in our communities is through the projects we touch. From large-scale solar farms in West Africa that dramatically reduce emissions to improving biodiversity at the first-ever on-site apiary at one of America's busiest airports, we are committed to delivering solutions that reduce emissions, protect biodiversity, and safeguard the place we all call home.

Rural communities in countries like Rwanda often experience outsized adverse effects due to a lack of basic infrastructure, which creates a deep divide between the country’s people, goods, and essential services. With a shared belief in bettering lives in rural communities worldwide, the Sidara companies, including Dar, TYLin, and Introba, teamed up with Bridges to Prosperity (B2P) for a collaborative construction project in Rwanda to build the Muregeya Trail Bridge—a 100-meter hybrid suspension bridge over the Muregeya River in Karongi. The Muregeya River is well-known for flooding and has slowed the development of the people of Rubengera. Crossing the river during monsoon periods becomes dangerous, and children can't go to school, businesses are disrupted, and health centers become inaccessible. For the 2,500 people relying on this bridge, safe and reliable access to essential services becomes a matter of life. Our in-house team of 10 outstanding volunteer specialists, selected from over 100 applicants from Dar, TYLin, and Introba, brought their architecture, structural engineering, and construction safety expertise to this project. The Muregeya Trail Bridge shows just how much collaboration and corporate social responsibility can do to plant a seed for positive change. With this journey, they take along all the hopes and dreams of an entire community, ready to turn isolation into connectivity and challenges into possibilities.

Knowledge is power, and when shared, it can reach new heights 💡. With a new generation stepping into our industry, each bringing their unique qualities, passions, and values, we're excited to provide a platform for all of us to share knowledge and ignite innovative ideas at our first Sidara Next Gen event, hosted at our global Headquarters, 150 Holborn in London. From sustainability to innovation, industry experts specializing in various topics shared their knowledge and insights. TedTalks were given by Andy Stanton and Iraklis Stivachtaris from Introba, presenting 'An Introduction to Passivhaus', followed by César García Herrera from Perkins&Will discussing 'Ecology in the Built Environment.' One of the event's key highlights included the final presentation by Nigel Curson from Penspen on 'A Spotlight on Fuel Switching.' Our team members across all brands at 150 Holborn also had the invaluable opportunity to network, exchange ideas, and engage in thought-provoking conversations with their fellow professionals. This first Sidara Next Gen event marks the beginning of many more Next Gen talks, which will continue to foster collaboration and knowledge sharing across our various locations worldwide.

We wish our friends and colleagues who celebrate Eid al-Adha happiness, prosperity, and tranquility on this blessed occasion.

One of the most forward-thinking new healthcare facilities in the world, the Kingdom Health Campus in Amman, aims to dramatically improve the lives of Jordan’s growing population. Due to open its doors in Q1 2027, the campus will redefine the way that healthcare is delivered, taught, and practiced. Next week, those working to bring this vision to life from Dar, Perkins&Will and Currie & Brown tell this remarkable story at European Healthcare Design in London. They will demonstrate how through effective collaboration between Sidara companies, together with the vision, drive and ambition of the client, projects that truly transform communities can be imagined, designed and delivered at speed.
