Concrete measures to save energy: Barclaycard's new headquarters in Northampton can thank its hybrid concrete construction for its energy efficiency and user-friendly facilities

Article Abstract:

The new Barclaycard headquarters in Northampton featuring an exposed concrete slab soffit to provide thermal mass which moderates the internal environment. The building will thus retain heat in the winter and be cooled by night time ventilation in the summer. There is an emphasis on natural ventilation, with fresh air flow through the use of trickle vents.
