由斯科特-布朗里格设计的国际非营利组织CABI的总部已经成功完工。CABI运用科学知识来解决农业和环境方面的问题。斯科特-布朗瑞格与项目经理和首席顾问里奇和合伙人有限公司（里奇）一起完成了一个低能耗的设计，提供了一个两层的办公空间，成功地将一个实验性的生物多样性景观与一个新的合作性的灵活工作环境结合起来。
The Scott Brownrigg-designed headquarters for the international not-for-profit organization, CABI, has been successfully completed. CABI applies scientific expertise to solve problems in agriculture and the environment. Scott Brownrigg worked alongside Project Managers and Lead Consultant Ridge and Partners LLP (Ridge) to complete a low-energy design that offers a two-story office space, successfully integrating an experimental bio-diverse landscape with a new collaborative flexible working environment.
这个项目的核心是CABI对鼓励生物多样性和保护环境的承诺。该设计具有很高的能源效率，对材料、方向和结构都有详细的策略。该设计包括对建筑结构材料的精心选择，这将减少能源消耗，以实现在运行中低碳使用的目标。
At the heart of this project is CABI’s commitment to encouraging biodiversity and protecting the environment. The design is highly energy efficient with detailed strategies for materials, orientation, and structures. The design includes a careful selection of materials for the building fabric, which will reduce energy consumption, to embrace the aim of low carbon use in operation.
建筑物的设计以被动的可持续发展为重点，通过东西方向的定位，最大限度地减少太阳辐射，在夏季提供遮阳，在冬季提供阳光。
Designing with passive sustainability as a priority, the building is positioned to minimize solar gains by orientating it East-West and will provide shade in the summer and allow sunlight in the winter.
2020年竣工意味着总部预示着办公空间用户优先事项的转变，由于Covid-19的出现，用户对清洁空气的重视程度增加。自然通风是一个关键的设计因素，通过穿孔的外墙实现，使冷空气在整个白天和晚上都能进入大楼。然后，它上升并在顶部被收集。在冬季，热回收通风被用来预热新鲜空气，然后被泵入各楼层。
Completing in 2020 means that the HQ foreshadowed the shift in priorities for office space users who, due to Covid-19, have placed increased importance on clean air. Natural ventilation was a key design factor and was achieved by a perforated façade, which permits cool air into the building throughout the day and night. It then rises up and is collected at the top. Heat recovery ventilation is used in the winter to pre-warm fresh air, which is then pumped into the floors.
“当建筑变得太热或没有足够的新鲜空气时，一个交通灯系统会提醒用户。它将提示住户打开窗户，增加建筑物内的新鲜空气水平。它的设计依赖于建筑和用户之间的沟通和合作，而不是严重的机电驱动，提供一个自然、健康和安全的环境”，总监Ed Hayden说。
“A traffic light system alerts users when the building gets too hot or doesn’t have enough fresh air. It will prompt occupants to open their windows and increase the levels of fresh air in the building. It is designed to rely on communication and cooperation between the building and its users, rather than being heavily M&E driven, providing a natural, healthy and safe environment ” shares Director Ed Hayden.
该建筑位于一个杰出的自然风景区，用一个活的屋顶来回应它周围的环境，这将吸引昆虫和鸟类，提高生物多样性。大楼内部容纳了180名员工–与1910年成立的小型研究委员会相比，已经有了很大的进步。工作人员和来访者都有一系列的便利设施，包括一个咖啡餐厅、会议室和会议室/礼堂。
Situated in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the building responds to its surroundings with a living roof, which will attract insects and birds and enhance biodiversity. Inside, it hosts up to 180 members of staff – a long way from its origins as a small research committee established in 1910. Staff and visitors are provided with a range of amenities including a café restaurant, meeting rooms, and conference room/auditorium.
最近被任命为CABI首席执行官的丹尼尔-艾尔格博士是首批迁入新总部的工作人员之一，该总部也是CABI出版业务的中心。他说。”我很高兴能在我们的英国总部领导一个专业团队，他们与我们全球中心网络的同事一起工作，帮助世界各地数以百万计的小农户种植更多的作物，减少作物病虫害的损失。”
Recently appointed CEO at CABI Dr. Daniel Elger is among the first members of staff to move into the new headquarters, which also serves as the hub for CABI’s publishing business. He said: “I am delighted to be leading a team of professionals at our UK headquarters who are working with colleagues in our global network of centers to help millions of smallholder farmers around the world grow more and lose less to crop pests and diseases.”
