ASDA Bootle
Asda invested £26 million in a derelict brownfield site adjacent to the Strand shopping centre
We built our second low–carbon store at Asda Bootle, which has set new standards in how to develop modern, carbon and energy efficient stores.
The store is over 40% more efficient, and emits up to 50% less CO2, than an Asda store built in 2005.
As our most environmentally friendly store to date, we were delighted when it was awarded ‘Excellent’ on the BREEAM rating and ‘Exemplar’ by the Carbon Trust.
The store is industry–leading in its use of a combined biomass boiler, ground source heat pump (GSHP) and CO2 refrigerant heat reclaim to produce hot water. This system also heats and cools the store.
Other features of the Bootle store, include:
- Purpose built timber frame, clad in timber and reclaimed brick from Liverpool docks
- Rainwater harvesting, providing grey water to flush toilets
- Full fridge doors on all chilled and frozen cabinets, reducing energy use
- A sedum roof which attracts wildlife
- Locally sourced plants and trees
