Collaborators and Funders

CREW has been a strategic partner to our home council of Wandsworth for almost a decade, most notably delivering energy efficiency equipment and advice to residents at risk of fuel poverty.

In 2025, the Wandsworth Neighbourhood Renewal Fund – funded through Neighbourhood Community Infrastructure Levy (NCIL) payments, which the council secures and collects from developers to benefit the local area – opened up a new opportunity to work with the council to decarbonise local buildings.

Technology Used

Prior to working with CREW, the skate park building had a number of heating issues to tackle.

The proposed air source heat pump will help reduce initial reliance on gas and – when paired with measures such as a building management system (BMS) to zone areas and Hydromx heat transfer fluid – will provide even more efficient heating. Upgrading lighting to LEDs is equally forecast to cut energy consumption by 50%.

All of these measures combined are projected to greatly reduce the amount of energy used and carbon emissions generated by the building.
