SUSTAINABLE DISTRICT
OUR KEY PROJECTS INCLUDE: Sustainable District Survey Conducting a regular survey will help measure the area’s transition towards a sustainable district and allow us to showcase our collective commitment.
Sustainable waste management LQ BID have appointed River Ridge as the preferred supplier for the District to promote recycling and reuse, and reduce landfill waste.
Green Energy Scheme & Guide LQ BID – along with an energy supply partner – will offer all locally based organisations membership of an accredited green energy scheme at no additional cost. The initiative will include a business guide on practical energy saving steps.
Climate Change Training This bespoke course will provide externally accredited training for 6 organisations per year. The practical how-to programme will include tailored guidance on reducing emissions and the related commercial benefits.
Metabolic Building Analysis This case study of a typical Linen Quarter office block will illustrate the practical and commercial benefits of moving to a sustainable built environment. It will consider related issues such as tenant requirements, circular fit out, and supply chains.
Public Realm Schemes LQ BID will continue to lead and promote regeneration projects that increase the quality of our urban settings, enhance local resilience, and promote sustainable living.
SUSTAINABLE DISTRICT
In Autumn 2021 LQ BID will be launching the Linen Quarter as Northern Ireland’s first sustainable district, and we invite every organisation in the area to join us on the journey. A sustainable district doesn’t mean we have cracked every problem, but it does mean we have tangible projects in place and are working to a clear direction of travel.
Sustainable Transport We aim to create a pro-cycling district by providing cycle accreditation for organisations, with confidence training, maintenance, and events for workers. LQ BID also support modal shift through pedestrian friendly public realm, new cycle lanes, the North-South Glider, and the Transport Hub. Festival of Circular Economy To coincide with COP26, LQ BID and partners will curate around 30 events to increase awareness and uptake of circular economy practices. Topics include business practices, green finance, design, regeneration, and recycling/reuse. The festival, which will include high profile speakers and activities, aims to encourage a wider public conversation on the social and community benefits of a sustainable city.
