Addressing climate change
Drakes Renewables was commissioned by the University of Cambridge to install a custom-made solar canopy on the rear roof terrace of the Entopia Building, located in the heart of Cambridge.
As part of the building’s commitment to achieving net zero, the solar canopy not only provides essential shade to the terrace but also generates renewable power, contributing to the building’s sustainability goals. This innovative installation aligns with the building’s eco-friendly design while enhancing both energy efficiency and occupant comfort.
