Through a visionary retrofit of a 1930s telephone exchange this new home for the Cambridge Institute for Sustainability Leadership will set new standards for low energy use, carbon emissions and impact on natural resources as well as for user experience and wellbeing as measured against multiple benchmarks.

The Entopia Building aims to achieve multiple sustainable building certifications, including BREEAM “Outstanding”, the Passivhaus ‘Enerphit’ standard, Well “Gold” certification, alongside the application of ‘circular economy’ principles to minimise the volume and impact of natural and human-made resources used in the building.
