The brief

The National Oceanography Centre (NOC) has commissioned a feasibility study to assess the viability of delivering a net-zero, self-sustaining energy solution for Outbuilding A5.

The study will evaluate the integration of roof-mounted solar photovoltaic (PV) generation, battery energy storage, and an appropriately sized air source heat pump (ASHP) to meet the building's heating and electrical demands while maximising the use of renewable energy.

The commission will assess energy demand profiles, system sizing requirements, operational scenarios, and options for both grid-connected and islanded operation.

Consideration will also be given to integration with the existing Building Management System (BMS) infrastructure.

The study will provide a preferred technical solution, together with an assessment of key risks, enabling works, implementation considerations, and recommendations to support future design and delivery of a low-carbon energy system for the building.
