Site Visit

Our group went on a site visit to Rossendale. Our client, Simon Dalley, showed us around the site and pointed out key things that we need to consider. We used data loggers to take some temperature and humidity readings to understand what parts of the building need thermal improving. From our data we found that the temperature ranges from 16°C to 17°C. We noticed that the singular layers of glass and wall were not good at keeping heat inside. After identifying the weak spots in the building envelope, we were able to see what was existing there and what we would need to add and/or change to improve it. Seeing the space in person gave us an idea of what it feels like to be there. From this we realised that some spaces will require artificial lighting because they don’t receive sufficient daylight. Overall, the visit highlighted what we need to preserve (because it is a grade II listed building) and what we need to add on.
