A new £500 million advanced engine manufacturing facility in the West Midlands.Vital to this was an innovative and thermally efficient architectural glazing system from Brett Martin Daylight Systems.
Reducing the energy needed for lighting and cooling is paramount for any manufacturing facility and for both the machinery plant and assembly hall at the Jaguar Land Rover plant, the designers incorporated sustainable solutions comprising insulated cladding, photovoltaic, automatic louvres and glazing. These would not only ensure the entire facility would become an exemplar of energy efficiency but would also enhance the productivity of the workforce.
