Samyn & Partners conceived with the studies of the Belgian Building Research Institute, the refurbishment of an existing office building in one of the most polluted avenues in Brussels. Designed to save maximum energy, the building meets all modem comfort standards, respects the environment and creates attractive and enjoyable working space.
Co-operative Retail Services wanted its new headquarters building to be both energy efficient and humane. Have these green ambitions been realised, and did the chilled beams and displacement ventilation systems provide the promised improvements in occupant comfort?
This latest addition to the University of East Anglia Campus cost 20 per cent less to build than a conventional building of similar proportions and uses 80 per cent less energy.
An innovative energy management program has been successfully implemented at Mount Isa Mines, Mount Isa. Situated in Australia's north-western Queensland, remote from any electrical grids, Mount Isa Mines, owned by M.l.M. Holding Ltd, relies on electricity generated through its own two power stations. In 1988- 1990 the company was faced with a pressing requirement to reduce both operating costs and carbon dioxide emissions.
