On 7th September 2017, BSRIA celebrated the opening of The Lexicon in Bracknell, one of the biggest town centre regeneration projects in the UK.

In addition to 70 new shops and restaurants, the project encompasses improvements to the existing High Street buildings and the restoration and extension of local landmark, The Bull; illustrating how innovative construction can modernise a listed building while protecting its heritage.

With a new 1,300 space multi-storey car park, provided by Bracknell Forest Council, and improvements to local highways, The Lexicon is set to become one of Berkshire’s most convenient and vibrant shopping and leisure destinations.

BSRIA was involved in the airtightness testing of a number of the buildings associated with The Lexicon, these include: the Cineworld cinema; M&S, Next and other key buildings and units within the new scheme.

Designing and constructing buildings to be more airtight helps reduce the energy that is wasted when heated or cooled air leaks to outside. Airtightness testing has been a requirement of Building Regulations for new buildings since 2006.

As such, these 'big name' retailers will be able to achieve much-needed financial savings in the cost of their energy bills.
