Our role has been to develop a low carbon building services engineering solution which understands the context of the Bothy as a partially ‘off-grid’ building, therefore a key aim has been to reduce energy demand and to avoid reliance on natural gas infrastructure. This principle has led to an all-electric solution being developed by Atelier Ten. This solution includes heat pump technology to provide space heating and hot water, with photovoltaic panels on the roof to achieve on-site power generation. Rainwater harvesting has been analysed to provide natural local source of water for the gardens situated around the Bothy. Feature lighting has developed to pick out the Tur as a feature of the walkway and wider park, making it visible from several viewing points around Glasgow.
