Built in a stunning location with extraordinary facilities and elegantly designed luxury apartments, this development has much to offer those looking to improve their carbon footprint and live a healthier lifestyle:<\/p>\n
The development has wind turbines mounted on its stair towers, which feed electricity into the common areas, helping to keep energy costs at a minimum.<\/p>\n
The wind turbines also power the development’s heat exchangers; these use the warm river water that is generated up stream by Radcliffe Power Station and provide virtually free heat to River Crescent’s 25-metre swimming pool.<\/p>\n
Solar reflective glazing has been installed in the building, which helps to keep it cool in the summer, whilst retaining heat during the winter.<\/p>\n
Bris-soliel shading has been mounted at high levels, to reduce the direct radiation from the sun falling on the building.<\/p>\n
A pool of bicycles is available for residents to use on Nottingham’s extensive cycle tracks, encouraging exercise whilst reducing carbon emissions.<\/p>\n
New generation electric cars are also available for residents to hire, using a smart card system; these cars provide emission-free transport, as they are charged by a combination of the wind turbines and renewable green energy supplied to the building.<\/p>\n
A business centre has been incorporated into River Crescent, to assist residents who wish to work from home and also reduce their carbon footprint.<\/p>\n
Healthy living is further encouraged by the resident’s Health Club, which features comprehensive gym equipment, a 25-metre swimming pool and spa pool.<\/p>\n
River Crescent apartments have won awards in The Daily Mail UK Property Awards 2008, in the categories of Best Architecture, Best Development, and Best Apartment.<\/p>\n
