SolarWall® @ the JLR
Technical Academy
• Introduction – John Vickers
• The Jaguar Land Rover “Mission Statement”
• The Sustainability Assessment process - Tony McGuire
• SolarWall® Installation and Operation – Peter Phillipson
• Summary – John Vickers

Introduction
• Plant Engineering - who we are / what we do
• Technical Academy project objectives
• Incorporate Sustainability Engineering techniques in the
Technical Academy building refurbishment design
• An efficient / effective way of communicating with the Jaguar
Land Rover Dealership Community
• To deliver relevant and practical guidance on Sustainability to
the Dealership community

Introduction continued
• Are there better ways to achieve the project objectives?
• Does the proposal provide value for money?
• Does the project deliver against key Sustainability objectives?
How do you measure / quantify these?

Sustainability
Assessment process
• The introduction of Sustainability Assessment
• Incorporate Sustainability Engineering in building refurbishment
• Adopt a Life Cycle Thinking approach
• Improve building: Air tightness / Insulation / Thermal capacity
• Material selection important - EPDs?
• Consider Life Cycle Operational Phase CO2
• Future Energy cost escalation challenging
• Each technique used to achieve at least two objectives
• Evaluation included > 30 sustainability techniques initially
• Techniques ranked on basis of £invested and tonnes of CO2 abated
• SolarWall® helps JLR meet its objectives

Operational Phase - CO2
abatement
• A rational basis for investment
decisions
• Techniques ranked by:
• Tonnes of CO2 saved
• £k Investment
• Eco – efficiency metric:
£k invested (£k/tCO2)

SolarWall® installation
and operation
• Installation:
• Installed approx. 300m2 of SolarWall ® onto South elevation
• Building elevation has a 21° from vertical
• Connected via ductwork and damper to internal fan unit and
distribution ‘sock’
• Operational aspects:
• Controlled via site Building Management System (Trend)
• Blends outside air and stratified hot air
• Controls temperature within workshop
• Provides minimum fresh air requirements

Performance will be demonstrated on the site walk around when there
will be an opportunity for technical questions.
