The Civil Engineering Building for the Engineering Department at the University of Cambridge was a true collaboration between academia and industry. The building delivered an optimised balance between low energy performance and pragmatic, scalable solutions for offices and laboratories. More detail of the rigour applied can be found here

The Old Granary is one of Darwin College’s iconic historic buildings – an eighteenth-century grain warehouse on the banks of the Cam. As part of the College’s Bradfield Court development, the Grade II listed building has undergone significant refurbishment and some internal reconfiguration. Key aims were to retrieve the elegance of the JJ Stevenson building, to reduce its energy footprint, and improve the ease of its maintenance. An MVHR system was successfully integrated within the complex building structure and thermal improvements made.

The Triangle is a 38,000m2 headquarters building for Cambridge Assessment. The building provides office space as well as catering and a gym. The highly optimised façade maximises daylight whilst reducing unwanted heat gains.

JG consulting are appointed as sustainable building advisers for the delivery stage of the new, Passivhaus student hub for Lucy Cavendish College.

Love Wolverton is a £25M project to redevelop the Wolverton Agora, bringing new homes and shops to Wolverton’s town centre and creating new streets that will reconnect Church Street and The Square. It includes a community owned electricity microgrid with all roofs used for PV electricity generation, which is stored using a community owned battery to be used by all tenants.

A complex building with a simple environmental design approach. The Whittle Laboratory will house the UK’s National Centre for Propulsion and Power, complete with 5MW wind tunnel and a flexible high pressure experimentation chamber.

The refurbishment of The Coalface flexible workspace in Finsbury Park was a triumph of the circular economy. The space was previously a gym and the MEP services (cooling, ventilation, lights) were reused and supplemented to create a high-quality office environment.

Dolby Court provides a new accommodation hub for Pembroke College, adjacent to their city centre location. The buildings provide high quality, low energy student accommodation. A significant element of the project is the air source heat pump energy centre which provides both heating and cooling to these buildings and the wider site, which includes the deconsecrated church and listed buildings.

The Grade I listed hall of residence at Trinity College, Cambridge sets the standard for the green retrofitting of UK’s historic buildings. You can read more about the project in this CIBSE Journal article, “Cambridge first – exemplary retrofit of Grade I listed halls of residence at Trinity College”

The Engineering Department’s move involves a phased transition that will see all research and teaching activity undertaken on the Universities’ West Cambridge site. The department addressed issues around energy use, space conditioning and infrastructure, in relation to the move, by applying the academia / industry collaborative tool.

SSE are utilising a 2MW ASHP array to reduce the use of natural gas on an existing heat network. The options for the location of the heat exchangers are limited and the risks associated with the cold plumes are being appraised using CFD analysis.

Darwin College Cambridge is seeking to achieve net zero carbon for the entire College estate, comprising buildings of varied typologies, ages, and challenges. We are working with the College to establish a credible strategy to achieve this through energy demand reduction and decarbonisation of supply.

The maternity ward at Addenbrooke’s Hospital, Cambridge suffers from excessive overheating issues. We are appointed to address this and provide improved thermal comfort for patients and staff within the operational wards. The solution addresses energy efficiency and avoids disruption to services.
