Energy efficiency for big science projects
Big science includes substantial energy demands so incorporating energy-efficient design is crucial to minimising environmental impact, limiting operational costs and aligning to your sustainability goals.
Our dedicated energy teams can offer comprehensive strategies to reduce energy consumption and climate impact. These strategies range from optimising existing equipment to enhancing infrastructure to the integration of renewable energy sources.
Whether looking to increase energy efficiency for a single facility or cross-campus systems, our experts can advise and implement strategies specific to your requirements. This can include a breadth of options to reduce operational carbon: implementation and transition to renewable energy sources; designing microgrids for improved reliability and increased resilience; geothermal system options for restricted site areas; or electrified solutions for thermal energy systems.
Our fit-for-the-future ethos underlies the integration artificial intelligence/machine learning (AI/ML) capabilities into your system controls. Using both historic and real time data we ensure an intelligent and adaptive approach to energy management.
As part of its mission to educate and inspire the public with a wonder of science, CERN wanted to create a new scientific education and outreach centre in Geneva, Switzerland.
They turned to Arup to help engineer the Science Gateway, a new 7,000m2 centre comprising inspirational exhibition spaces, laboratories for hands-on scientific experiments, and a large auditorium to host science events for experts and non-experts alike.
The design minimises materials, prioritises the use of less carbon intensive solutions, and incorporates a bespoke lighting system to reduce its impact on the environment and wildlife. As well as insightful exhibitions, visitors can enjoy green and tranquil outdoor spaces.
