The creation of Vauxhall’s latest 20,000 sq ft dealership now houses a showroom, reception area and office space. The project also achieved a Very Good BREEAM rating. To achieve this the building incorporated low energy/ high efficiency lighting, high efficiency heat pumps to deal with heating and cooling of the new showroom; Photovoltaics on the roof also, contributed to 10% of the energy requirement, and solar controlled glazing panels in the showroom to minimise solar gain.
