In 2023, the Royal Angus Hotel was sensitively remodelled into aparthotel Birmingham, which is now one of the city’s most sustainable developments.
As a completely gasless site, we have eliminated our use of fossil fuels by using 100% renewable energy, generated entirely from solar and wind power.
Ground source heat pumps mean we can transfer heat from the ground into the building, and a heat recovery system recycles excess energy from the air conditioning system to hot water, in turn minimising our consumption.
This has resulted in an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rating of “10 A”, where “0 A” indicates net-zero carbon emissions, producing significantly lower emissions than the industry average ratings of “17 A” for new builds and “68 C” for existing buildings.
The CO2e figure for a night at aparthotel Birmingham is 4.32kg CO2e. This is 70% below the industry average of 14.34kg
