CISL Entopia Building – Material learnings and reuse
The Cambridge Institute for Sustainability Leadership (CISL) needed a headquarters that reflected its own values, so it set about a deep green retrofit of the Entopia building, proving along the way that the most sustainable building is probably the one that already exists. The 1930s former telephone exchange in central Cambridge, used for offices since the 1990s has been refurbished to the Passivhaus EnerPHit standard and BREEAM Outstanding, and is aiming for WELL Gold certification.
