How the building works
Sideway's OneWorld buildings will feature state-of-the-art energy-saving features. This will make the warehouses a showcase of interest to industrial developers, planners and environmentalists both at home and abroad. Independent experts will test the efficiency of these measures, some of which will be unique to Sideway.

| What is sustainability? |
| • |
North Lights: North-facing roof windows increase daylight and reduce the need for electric lighting |
| • |
Minimised Air Leakage: A large proportion of energy is lost through the external fabric of a building. Through careful detailing, ProLogis reduces this to a minimum |
| • |
Solar Air Heating System: The south-facing walls of the two large warehouses will be constructed as solar collectors, virtually eliminating the need for frost protection |
| • |
Low Energy Fittings: By specifying energy-efficient electric fittings, further energy savings can be achieved |
| • |
Green Walls: Plants will grow over trellises on the west-facing warehouse walls, increasing natural habitats and creating green layers |
| • |
PhotoVoltaic Panels: Panels on the roofs of the warehouses and industrial units will harness solar energy which can be used on site |
| • |
Water Savings: ProLogis' high-quality, pre-fabricated methods mean less work on site and minimise wastage. Local and recycled and/or recyclable materials are used wherever possible |
