  1. Design a sports and leisure centre complete with swimming pool which requires very little electrical energy from the national grid to run. • Decide on the facilities and layout including a south facing • cafe overlooking the main pool. • Explain in detail, with diagrams using scientific ideas how; • i) the water in the pool is to be heated. • ii) electricity will be generated – could be several ways • iii) to make maximum use of the sun’s energy • iv) heat energy is not easily lost to the atmosphere and ground • through various insulation techniques. • Some helpful ideas are on the following slides and these web sites: • Click on energy efficient technologies: • http://www.eclipse-research.co.uk/sport-benchmk/index.html • 2.

  2. The Harlequin 1 building at BSkyB’s West London campus, will set an international benchmark for innovative and forward-looking sustainable architecture in a broadcasting environment. The project is in construction and due to be completed in spring 2010.Harlequin 1 will house recording, post production and transmission facilities for Sky’s Broadcast and Sports News departments, including 8 state of the art naturally ventilated studios, naturally ventilated offices for 1370 people, and free-cooled data rooms for more than 400 computer servers. In scale this large building is roughly equivalent to two New York City blocks – approximately 100m long and 50m wide The architecture of the building dramatically expresses the integrated and world leading sustainable technology. The giant natural ventilation chimneys of the recording studios are revealed on the exterior of Harlequin 1, which some have likened to a new power station architecture for the twenty-first century. The design of Harlequin 1 suggests its potential to act as a major landmark en-route to Heathrow. Yet, despite its physical gravitas, Harlequin 1 is, within its genre, the most sustainable broadcasting, studio and data-centre building yet designed.
