LOW CARBON CASE STUDY THERMAL ENERGY
The National Maritime Museum is part
of the Maritime Greenwich World Heritage Site, which includes the Royal Observatory, Greenwich Park and Sir Christopher Wren-designed Royal Naval College. The new, £35m Sammy Ofer Wing has been designed to connect the National Maritime Museum’s 1876, Grade I-listed South-West Wing to Greenwich Park to create a new main entrance from the park as well as provide additional exhibition spaces, a café and a restaurant. Architect CF Moller’s design for this
historically sensitive site placed the bulk of the 55m-long, 35m-wide and 10m-deep wing below ground. ‘It was one of the most difficult and challenging sites conceivable,’
says Julian Weyer, a partner at the practice. The advantage of the architect’s
subterranean solution is that it helps stabilise heating and cooling loads. However, for the scheme’s building services engineers, Mott MacDonald Fulcrum, the disadvantage of this concealed solution is that the building’s roof is visible from both the Royal Observatory and much of Greenwich Park and, as a result, it had to be kept clear of plant. The need to keep heating and cooling
equipment away from the roof was one reason the engineers were keen to adopt
