The Storey Institute, Meeting House Lane, Lancaster.
Set in the heart of Lancaster’s Conservation Area the Storey Institute is a Grade II Listed building.
For over 100 years this building has been central to the educational and social life of the people of Lancaster, its early days saw it used as an art gallery and a technical and art school, it has been a museum and library, it was here in 1907 that the Lancaster Girls School was founded and today it is set to enjoy a new lease of life.
Having recently undergone a multi million pound refurbishment the Storey Institute will now offer workspace and offices along with workshop space to those in the creative industries, it will be a conference and auditorium venue, art gallery and meeting place restoring this important building to its rightful place as an leading creative centre here in the heart of Lancaster.
The refurbishment has taken into account the architectural features of the building and its sympathetic restoration has transformed it from a large, cold and unwelcoming building into an energy efficient and comfortable place to work and relax.
To ensure that energy costs are kept to a minimum the building uses the latest in lighting, heating and cooling technology, the specification was strict and we here at CEAUK were selected to provide the building with a commercial energy performance certificate.
Together with CEAUK , BaddeleysEnergy.com were involved in providing the energy assessment rating for this building. The task involved the zoning of the whole building and calculating not just the thermal values of the original structure but also the heating and ventilating systems that were used in each of the areas. The latest energy efficient boilers and air conditioning systems have been used together with some clever air handling units that ensure that this will be a comfortable building to work in.
It is testament to both CEAUK and BaddeleysEnergy.com, their working practices, the level of qualification and efficiency of the service that they provide that they were selected for the energy assessment of this landmark building.
