Following seven years of post-occupancy monitoring of this landmark project, the deep retrofit of the Grade 1 buildings of New Court at Trinity College, the college are reporting an 80% reduction in energy usage, the building fabric conditions are exceeding the model predictions, and the students and other users are very happy occupants.
It is time to start talking with confidence about the relevance of this project to the wider heritage sector and the challenge of retrofitting our listed buildings in the context of a climate emergency.
Oliver Smith will be discussing New Court in the Architecture Today Webinar on Retrofitting Heritage on Wednesday 8th June.
