Behind the Scenes at Fairwater Campus

Join us for an exclusive site visit to the new Fairwater Campus, a landmark project in Cardiff designed to set new standards in low-carbon building design.

This innovative campus is engineered to significantly reduce both operational energy use and embodied carbon. Key features include:

A highly efficient façade and optimised orientation for daylight
Natural ventilation strategies to minimise cooling and lighting demand
Mechanical ventilation with heat recovery
High-efficiency air-source heat pumps for space and water heating
Energy-efficient lighting with daylight-linked controls
Advanced building management and controls to ensure peak performance in operation
