Looking Into Cannon Brewery
The Cannon Brewery Site is made up of two existing buildings. The one on the southern side of site was the Reception and Visitors Centre for the brewery.
Bre we ry
The Northern Building, my focus, is fundamentally made up of three chunks. The orginal brewing space, the delivery space and the office space.
Shallow Plan Cross ventilation
Middle Roofless part Possible first intervention ideal for solar heat gain Uninsulated Water Tower possible stack ventilation
Waterproof Roof with access Site for solar power install
Shallow Plan Cross ventilation Area with large openings for light but also very low u value
Southern Buildings used as wind block in winter

Looking into the Brewery from as passive ventilation strategy straight away means I could understand how any proposal would need to be orientated.
Also looking into what already is on site and the opportunities are provided by Cannon Brewery. Looking into the materials and carbon already situated.

Surrounding Cannon Brewery is a large green infrastructure. It includes all the city parks and Parkwood springs which are immediately accessible but also it extends out into Wharncliffe Wood and the Peak District.

Manged Woods
Parkwood springs is a mix of a city park and a managed woodlands, even extending to the title of the area. Mostly I think this means it allows both medium and small scale activities.

ALTERNATIVE INDUSTRY APPROACH -
SEARS STORE Precedent Study Of A Sears Store Being Retrofitted into Housing and Entertainment
Location: 1900 W. Lawrence - Ravenswood Sears Store Type: Renovation and conversion of a former department store to 59 rental residences and first floor retail with the addition of a fourth floor, installation of two new elevators, all new MEP systems, extensive masonry work for new window openings and full interior build-out. Social/Political Agenda: Regeneration Of Existing Buildings Preservation of Facade / historical Context Programme: 59 rental residences and first floor retail University Complex On Ground Floor Sears Store A catalog with mail ordered everything - including kit houses
Retrofitting what was a city block to restore activity to the area by ground level shops but high level housing. While a fairly standard plan for the types of building going into the retrofit. Using the existing frame can save on cost and defiantly saves on the Carbon.
Retrofit Precedent
The building was a large scale department store with lots of floor area and large windows. Due to the brick exterior and concrete floors inside it was ideal for retrofit as the facade could be supported without the internals. Other Sears Stores are being reused such as the Starbucks Centre 2401 Utah Avenue South Seattle, Washington, U.S.
When Writing a report on a 0 carbon Sheffield retrofit was used extensively with Sheffield’s Industry Requirements
Relevance Of Retrofit
Within the existing RIBA Stages LETI have produced a retrofit process which is more fluid than the standard options.
The PAS was a new British Standard Aiming to Produce better retrofit with the correct people involved. Retrofit North Would Aim to provide all of these under one roof.

Introducing Retrofit North
Retrofit North wants to develop an approach to retrofit that acts as a counter to standard practice. To be a complete counter to the normal retrofit north will need to run as a standard developer but showing in fact Retrofit can be used instead of demolition.

While lots of Sheffield City Plans deal This is probably due to scale and cost with the surrounding areas none of the requirements of removing the existing plans actively challenge or propose a building. solution for Cannon Brewery.
With Retrofit Norths alternative approach Cannon Brewery will become the new hub for retrofitting.

Project Goals
Cannon Brewery : The New Headquarters of Retrofit North
Cannon Breweries goals were chosen to align with Retrofit Norths Purpose as Cannon Brewery would act as Retrofit Norths Headquarters
Cannon Brewery would be an exemplar of what Retrofit North Can do and it would hopefully set up other work for us
Reducing Embodied Carbon
Retrofit North
Retrofit North and Sheffield Have Aligned Development Goals
While it is import that Cannon Brewery aligns with Retrofit North it is equally important that it makes sense within the context of its city.
Looking at Cannon Breweries Goals and the City Wide Plan for Sheffield’s goals you can see they work directly within each other.
Due to this alignment of values I would hope Retrofit North to work a lot within Sheffield

While Retrofit North does need to make a profit to legitimise the work they are doing they can still be ethical and care. The requirement to generate profit is to prove that retrofit is in fact a suitable replacement for demolition. Not just in niche non-profit cases.

I have made the ‘ethical’ statement due to the normal way developers act. Normally being profit driven and not considering local factors.

They Currently own the recipes that the old Cannon Brewery Used to make. They are experts within brewing and require an expanded brewery. Inviting them to come and expand into Cannon Brewery Restores the heritage value of Cannon Brewery. It also allows the beer produced on site to be distributed through established links to existing public houses.

Timeline For Retrofit North Retrofit takes longer than standard construction methods due to the extra time it takes to survey and learn about the building you already have.
As Retrofit North wants a high quality building giving Cannon Brewery a longer than standard time scale means that we can also save on cost.
The development of True Brew North allows Retrofit North to gain funds during the retrofitting process.

Cannon Brewery Water Strategy
Cannon Brewery is next to the river and due to the sites large footprint it needs to have a water strategy to prevent water excess run off. A SUDS (Sustainable Urban Drainage System) would limit both the run off of Cannon Brewery and from Rutland Road.
For Cannon Brewery my strategy uses two large ponds as reserves. These ponds while retaining water run off also allow for increased biodiversity around them supporting the rivers own diversity.
An everyday view of the library floor
The library space would be used by both Retrofit North professionals and the public who want to retrofit their own homes. This would mean both construction professionals and DIY could exist in parallel.
The construction lecture space in use
While the primary purpose of the lecture space would be to teach people how to retrofit. The space also allows people to develop their own skills and learning.
CONSTRUCTION ECOLOGIES -
Existing Roof to be improved into Solar Power
New Roof to be have Solar Power
Existing Floor Plates
With the Primary Structure being usable having a concrete frame. This allows each floor plate to be adapted for the usage of retrofit north.
Due to the excessive scale of primary structure means that I can add a green roof which normally is not viable due to the extra load it generates.
Existing Roof to be improved into Solar Power
This allows me to penetrate and cut them away as required as long as I don’t touch the existing structure.
With this I can also place solar panels on the roof to make sure the running of Cannon Brewery is Zero Carbon.
Existing Roof to be improved into green roof
Another benefit of this primary structure is that each of the facades are independent of the frame. This in turn allows me to glaze the south facade and introduce more natural light.

The Process of Construction
The original construction process was casting the concrete slab using form work and steel reinforcements.
Retrofit Norths approach it is about leaving materials in situ or reusing them elsewhere.
Looking at the Original construction process then looking at how I would retrofit the building
This is a heavily carbon intensive process and leaves a lot of wastage. The form work is thrown away and removed.
Retrofit North would also ideally reuse primary structure such as primary steels.
Movable Steel Frames with fabric to create visual breaks
Fabric can also be used as a audio break
Light can be softened or penetrate through the fabrics
Retrofit North Uses reused Steel and CLT Wood The front and back are paper or recycled fabrics
With the goal of turning a warehouse into a usable office. These frames can be disassembled by hand so users can adapt the space as required. Through creating the additional spaces in this warehouse they allowed more natural light and more room to the practice.

A brick wall consisting of a brick and concrete block is 4 hours of fire resistance. My walls can assume a similar level of fire resistance.
Fire Fighting Stair Case and Lift 4m
Using Concrete Blockwork means I can build around orginal struture without formwork. This saves construction time as I just need masonry experts on site.
4m x 4m Reinforced Concrete Frame - 500mm Thickness 4m
Concrete is an A1 Material meaning it doesnt contribute to fire
As the concrete Frame is supporting the loading of the building i can just use 2 x 100mm blocks to produce 8 hours of coverage. This will allow people to esacpe and fire fighters to use the stairs as access.
This means if the building is on fire the struture will stay stable during so people can escape.
UP
Bricks have an A1 rating meaning they do not contriubte to fire.
500 mm can be estimated at 260 mins (4 Hours)
They also have a d0 meaning as people escape the wall will not drip on them. S1 means there is litte or no smoke produced

Tools Of Study Dependant Variables - Variables that do not change Time Of Day and Year (Amount of Sunlight) Measured Variables Lux Level at Working Plane
Revit Insight Modeling A natural lighting modeling Software using the revit CISBE Requirements model I have made of the existing building and my proposals My chosen space is a library - However due to the fact people will not be reading in this space I have chosen the purpose group ‘Store Rooms’ as a type of Libraries. The requirement for this type of space is 200 lux at the working plane (900 mm from floor plate).
Introduction Problem - Demolition of existing buildings is both bad for emboided carbon and the sites they are on. However these buildings already have potiental for use with some adaptions. As architects its our job to assess buildings and decide on if the natural lighting levels can be used in its in existing state or some improvements can be made. This research was conducted on Cannon Brewery, Sheffield. This existing building was a large scale brewery and was chosen for Retrofit North due to its struture being intact. This research will establish the natural lighting requiremetns and adpations needed on the building. This brewery has large scale windows around my focus space so I am optimistic at the potiental.
Research Question What adpations need to be done to the existing Cannon Brewery Sheffield so the old brewery space can be naturally light and used as a library for Retrofit North. Research Aim To assess the Requirements of Lighting levels for Library Spaces To assess the existing buildings current light levels To assess my changes to the building to improve the light levels

P3
Reduction of lux Levels due to solar shading provided in existing opening. From 1000 lux down to 200-1000. This light is mostly northern so glare has not been an issue with either the existing or retrofit. Point 2 - Secoundary opening
P2
The western light means that through Solar Shading Glare has been reduced. As in the existing glare was an issue as time became later. The other benefit of the solar shading is reducing peak light into building. Point 3 - Workspace Through Southern Opening being increased the requried lux level (200) has now been over more of the floor plate. Natural lighting can now be used in more areas than before due to atrium and windows along north wall. Point 4 - Fire Core
Cannon Brewery As Existing
While the fire core has seen a reduction in lux levels this was done to create a fire stair and provide safe vertical escape. Fire takes primary role over natural lighting.
Conclusion While the existing building showed promise as the lux level for a library was fairly good in the west half of the space the eastern half of the space was lacking.
