Memorial Hall is situated in Albert Square which is stooped in history
and surrounded by iconic architecture.

building’s character.
The completed project has brought the historic building back to its’
original grandeur and given a new lease of life to the heart of the city's
main square.

5. Listed building refurbishments:
William Dyer Electrical (UK) Ltd is a specialist electrical contractor for the energy efficient refurbishment of Grade II listed
buildings. They have worked on a number of refurbishments of Grade II listed buildings to restore the properties to their former
glory whilst ensuring that the most energy efficient installations are carried out in a manner in keeping with the original features
of the buildings. For more information and project examples, click here.
Energy consumed in occupied properties is accountable for almost 50% of the UK’s CO2 emissions. Furthermore, 22% of the
emissions are produced in public and commercial properties. Of these properties, a significant amount of them were built before
1919 which means that many of the measures installed are dated and inefficient in energy terms.
The Government aims to improve the energy efficiency within existing buildings and with the support of planning authorities and
guidance from English Heritage, energy efficiency improvements can be made to UK listed buildings enabling them to comply
with new legislation (Part L of the Building Regulations).
There are a variety of measures that can be undertaken in order to enhance the energy efficiency within listed buildings
including:
Smart meter installation
Heating and insulating the property
Installing energy efficient controls
Low energy lighting installation

• £1.5 million refurbishment of Shena Simon Campus
