Sustainability Features of Forest Road Estate: BREEAM Outstanding Warehouse Units

Apr 6, 2026 | News

Sustainability is no longer optional in commercial real estate—it’s essential. Forest Road Estate leads the way with its commitment to green building practices, aiming for BREEAM Outstanding certification and EPC A+ energy performance. This Feltham-based development incorporates on-site low or zero carbon energy sources to achieve net zero carbon emissions, setting a benchmark for eco-friendly industrial warehouses.

Key to this is a 1,170m² photovoltaic array producing 286kWp annually, equivalent to offsetting 32 tons of CO2 and saving £0.65 per sq ft in energy costs. Units benefit from air source heat pumps for heating and cooling, LED lighting with occupancy sensing and daylight dimming, heat recovery ventilation, and solar control glazing. Enhanced insulation, air-tight construction, and low-water-use fittings further minimize environmental impact, while mains water leak detection and automatic shut-off valves promote resource efficiency.

For tenants, these features translate to tangible savings: lean efficiencies from building fabric (e.g., £4,206 annually for Unit 1) and green savings from renewables (e.g., £23,369 for Unit 1). EV charging points and bicycle storage encourage low-emission commuting, aligning with ESG goals.

Located near Heathrow in TW13 7ES, the estate’s sustainable warehouse units are available to let from Q2 2026. Businesses focused on corporate responsibility will find these high-spec spaces—complete with first-floor offices and high cubic capacity—ideal for reducing their carbon footprint while maintaining operational excellence.
