King's College Chapel PV project featured in CIBSE Journal

We worked with the college to develop a strategy to decarbonise its operations by 2038, reducing its carbon emissions by more than 23 tonnes each year. The new panels, combined with existing panels installed on the Wilkins Building and Old Garden Hostel student accommodation, will meet the chapel’s energy requirements and reduce the annual electricity demand of the college’s main site by approximately 6%, reducing the college’s reliance on the National Grid.

The building is the University of Cambridge’s most iconic Grade I-listed landmark so finding an approach that would satisfy planners was challenging. Max Fordham Director, Phil Armitage, met with CIBSE Editor, Alex Smith, to discuss the project.
