The Project Brief

  1. Select a building in your community and evaluate the energy use.
  2. Talk to experts and propose solutions to reduce consumption or move toward alternative energy use.
  3. Share the changes for your building with the community.

Our Project

We chose to look at a local leisure centre, the Oasis in Swindon. It was fairly energy-efficient and state of the art when it was built in the mid 1970s. Now, however, it is aging badly and wastes a lot of energy.
