Ledston Hall

Ledston Hall is a Grade 1 listed historic building, which incorporates a 12th century chapel and stands in over 3,000 acres of its own grounds.  Much of the building has been disused for a number of years, although the south wing included some residential space let to tenants.

The project comprises works to repair and conserve the historic building fabric, followed by a conservation phase to redevelop the property into a series of houses and apartments.  A number of the principal rooms will be retained for public access including the chapel and spaces to be used for functions / dining / education facilities.

TGA’s Building Performance team have worked with the Architect and our M&E engineers to develop a new energy strategy for the building incorporating a new, remote energy centre with gas fired CHP supported by boilers.  This arrangement provides thermal energy to the residential properties for hot water and space heating as well as offsetting a proportion of the building’s electrical power consumption, reducing annual CO₂ emissions in excess of the planning authority’s requirements and removing the need to distribute gas, boiler flues and associated ventilation in the historic building.

Each residential unit is served by a local electrical consumer unit fed from a common switchboard as well as a heat interface unit which delivers local hot water and heating services from thermal energy produced by the central plant.

TGA also provided Specialist Lighting input for this project.
