Project summary:	The new Crawley library was built to provide a range of county council services including a central library, office and accommodation for administrative and social services. Facing a new public square, the four-storey building, which has a stone and glass facade, was designed to be a landmark for Crawley town centre and an example of low carbon best practice. Aiming for sustainability and comfort, the building features high thermal mass, controlled day lighting, a sophisticated mixed mode ventilation system, a Building Management System (BMS) with sub-metered energy monitoring, solar water heating and a biomass boiler. The range of low carbon measures and principles embedded in the design has led to the achievement of several sustainability awards along with a BREEAM Very Good and an EPC A rating.
