This project required an extension to the existing building, increasing the usable floor space by 11% requiring an extention to the rear of the building. There was a need to use renewable materials for the retrofit and using CLT for the structure. The retrofit requires that the existing building can meet TGD L,B,M and K requirements followed by a further increase in energy effeciency to meet ENERPHIT standards.
