V&A Dundee was designed by renowned award-winning Japanese architects Kengo Kuma & Associates. Curving concrete walls (there are no straight external walls) hold 2, 500 pre-cast rough stone panels, weighing up to 3000 kg each and spanning up to 4m wide, to create the appearance of a Scottish cliff face. There are 21 separate wall sections. After a Low and Zero Carbon Technologies study was undertaken in 2011 as part of the project’s BREEAM obligation to identify the most appropriate form of renewable energy for the building, geothermal energy was identified as the solution. Thirty 200-metre deep bore holes form part of this system for the heating and cooling of the building, supplemented by air source heat pumps on the roof. These provide direct renewable energy for the museum, with 800, 000 kWh/annum of heating and 500, 000 kWh/annum of cooling.
