We're very proud of this project which sets a new benchmark for ultra-low energy sports facilities in the UK.
The project impressed the award judges with its careful, low-carbon design and application of technology to achieve a low-impact leisure centre with sports and swimming facilities.
We worked closely with architects FaulknerBrowns from the very start of the project to meet ambitious energy use and sustainability targets, including a BREEAM score of 'Outstanding'. The design is fossil fuel-free and has demonstrated an operational energy consumption of less than 100 kWh/m2/yr – a level of performance which no other equivalent sports centre in the UK has yet demonstrated.
It's the seventh time since 2017 that Max Fordham has won Project of the Year at the CIBSE Building Performance Awards, which are the only industry awards that focus on measured performance outcomes, and not just design intent or performance specifications.
