Examples of the types of features that Almacantar were looking to implement included: air filtration to deliver improved indoor air quality and help reduce potential triggers of asthma, headaches and allergies; ensuring the materials used in the building prevent excess moisture being built up or trapped inside and mitigating the risk of damp or mould; specifying materials that are natural, low in VOCs and chemicals, and are sustainable.

For example, all timber and veneers that have been used are responsibly sourced and are either FSC or PEFC certified, most of the paints are water based and low in VOCs and they have also specified flooring made from 100% recycled materials and produced via renewable electric power.
