• Range of buildings on site dating from 1950’s – present day. • Older buildings are unsurprisingly inefficient in terms of thermal performance. • Should these buildings be refurbished or demolished to be replaced with new high efficiency buildings. • Considerations around embodied carbon, life time building performance, human factors. • Lack of publicly available reliable data. • How much carbon is saved by reusing steel, brick, concrete? • How can we make informed decisions? • Pilot projects at Berkeley. GREEN reuse of steel frame. Over cladding insulation, insulated flat roofs. SMART GRID

• Site is fully electric for heating, cooling and power. • Single 11kva supply for site with dated transformer infrastructure. • Potential island site with mix of buildings and uses. • Working with Schneider Electric to install a “Smart Gird” with integrated battery storage technology. • Large car park with plans for electric car charging and solar canopies. • Inputs from building mounted Solar PV with potential for wind and tidal. • Learner opportunities around battery storage, electricity trading and energy efficiency. A park with skills, learning and education at its heart……… John Huggett Engineering Hall/ GREEN skills centre

• £5 million new College Campus building specialising in engineering. • Refurbishment of historic engineering building. • Reusing embodied carbon and inspiring the next generation of learners.
