Jerwood Gallery

We’ve just had the first results of our Thermal Analysis System (TAS) model which aims to accurately predict the energy consumption of the gallery. We are aiming to make the building as energy-efficient as possible, by using natural ventilation where possible, a very well-insulated structure, ground source heat pumps and solar thermal collectors.

We’re excited that the first results from the TAS modelling show that we are achieving our targets, with annual emissions of around 21kg of CO2 per m2 of the building, a 25% improvement on what Building Regulations require us to achieve, and compared to around 54kgCO2/m2 for a normal art gallery of this sort. We’re still working to fine-tune the design, but we’re very encouraged by this.
