The Core of Nick Grimshaw

Last Tuesday, we informed you - here - about a new tropical greenhouse project by Sir Nicholas Grimshaw. However, the old Eden Project has not been forgotten. His office has opened a new pavilion here after two years, named The Core, which will utilize solar energy as efficiently as possible. The planned annual output of 20,000 kWh would be enough to power a smaller family home for 33 years. This clean conversion of solar radiation will save nine tons of CO2 annually, which would otherwise be produced by conventional power plants. The costs of fifteen million pounds for the pavilion should therefore be quickly recouped. Info>
