Low energy buildings: National Energy Foundation's phase 2 expansion opts for lightweight construction. Energy World. October 2004 P. 16-18

Ian Byrne, Deputy Director, National Energy Foundation describes the design and construction of a second low energy building recently opened by a highly visible sustainable energy organisation. Following on from the new HQ building for a wind energy developer, this is the account of a second building erected to accommodate the National Energy Foundation and its subsidiary.
