BUILDING PERFORMANCE AWARDS | WINNERS RETURNING TO THE SPOTLIGHT Building Performance Champion and Project of the Year Public use Winner: St Johns College, Oxford, Library and Study Centre Max Fordham The brief for this project was to explore options for a carbon-neutral study centre and archive in St Johns College, Oxford. Max Fordham designed a building with a stone-clad concrete frame to reduce peak temperatures and stabilise the internal environment, along with roof lights and slot windows to enhance natural lighting. The new study centre has proven highly effective in heat loss regulation and passive ventilation, with the ground oor consistently staying at, or below, 24C. 20 March 2022 www.cibsejournal.com CIBSE March 22 pp20-25 BPA Awards.indd 20 25/02/2022 18:28
