Providing over 4 megawatt of heat energy, this CHP plant is one of the most efficient in the country supplying over 60% of UEA’s energy needs.
An overview of the new teaching building (Building 57): This building will be of Termodeck design constructed with cross laminated timber (the first time that this construction method has been used with Termodeck). It will be built using Passivhaus techniques and comply with BREEAM excellent certification.
An overview of the Exemplar Low Carbon Building: The latest UEA building is targeting Passivhaus Certification and BREEAM Outstanding using local renewable materials to achieve a carbon sink for the lifetime of the building.
