AIA UK SUSTAINABILITY SERIES - ULTRA-SUSTAINABLE RETROFITTING: THE ENTOPIA BUILDING, CAMBRIDGE
Fiona Mckay
On 21st September 2023 we continued our ongoing series of sustainability events with an online talk on the 'ultra-sustainable' retrofit of The Entopia Building, located in a local conservation area in the historic Cambridge city centre, UK. The principal architect Wendy Bishop (Associate at Architype) and the sustainability lead Peter Kelly (Director for Sustainable Operations at ISG) told the story of how the project came into being, from the early concept stages right through to the on-going post occupancy evaluation, explaining how Entopia set new standards in retrofit as an internationally-leading, fabric-first, sustainable retrofit of a 1930s, five-storey concrete frame structure.
The recording of the talk, along with the online quiz so you can receive 1 HSW LU credit for watching it, can be found HERE.
