Abstract: CEREB, the Centre for Efficient and Renewable Energy in Buildings, is a pioneering new facility at London South Bank University. Created in partnership with City and Kingston Universities, CEREB is a unique resource for the teaching, research and demonstration of low carbon energy technologies in the built environment. The three partners are leaders in training and research in the built environment and the centre is at the forefront of low carbon building design. CEREB provides a high quality teaching resource in sustainable energy technology and building design, construction and management. It also offers facilities to conduct research and to demonstrate specific sustainable energy technologies. CEREB is a unique urban based showcase for low carbon energy technologies including photovoltaics, solar thermal, ground source heat pumps and wind power. Developed as a specially designed walk-through demonstration facility at roof level on LSBU’s new K2 building, CEREB will provide a focus for work on improving skills in building services and energy. The new Centre will help fill the current skills gap on renewable and energy efficient technologies in order to meet the challenging carbon reduction targets set down in UK legislation.
