The works resulted in a 74% reduction in CO2 emissions relating to heating and hot water loads and a 43% reduction in CO2 emissions relating to electrical loads.
This groundbreaking project took an innovative approach by combining low-carbon engineering techniques with the re-use of existing Victorian building stock, transforming the space into a low-energy, flexible environment. Partially funded by the Department of Energy & Climate Change (DECC), the project’s performance was carefully monitored post-occupancy to assess how these strategies could serve as a model for future education sector developments.
The project stands as a powerful example of how sustainable, low-carbon solutions can be applied to historic buildings, not only reducing environmental impact but also offering a flexible and efficient space for the education sector to thrive.
The project was well-received and featured in the RIBA Public Realm Directory, showcasing its success in marrying sustainability with functionality.
