103 Colmore Row is the first commercial office development in Birmingham’s central business district to benefit from the city’s District Energy Scheme. The scheme is a pivotal part of Birmingham City Council’s climate change strategy, which aims to cut C02 emissions by 60 per cent by 2027.

The council has partnered with ENGIE, one of the UK’s largest independent energy producers, who deliver heating, cooling and power to buildings across the city. Power is produced by low and zero carbon technologies.
