Notes:

The new office building for South Cambridge District Council uses Texlon ETFE as part of the climatic envelope. Constructed by Alfred McAlpine Special Projects, a spokesman stated that; “This is a next generation building which encompasses the industry's requirements of sustainability, cheap running costs and state of the art design and materials, to meet the clients' requirements.”

The system comprises a roof area of approximately 800 sqm of white Texlon ETFE. The white finish allows a high degree of even light transmission while reducing glare to a minimum. The Texlon system also offers excellent thermal performance, helping the building achieve a BREEAM rating of 'Excellent'.
