SCP contribute to award winning Passivhaus design

admin — Mon, 12 Mar 2012 12:52:44 +0000

In 2011 Sturgis Carbon Profiling collaborated with bere:architects, The Prince’s Foundation and Hastoe Housing Association, amongst others, to develop The Chestnut House, a low cost, traditional semi-detached Passivhaus. In January of 2012 the design was announced as part of the winning pair of demonstration houses to be built at BRE’s Innovation Park at Watford.

SCP performed a Life Cycle Analysis of the building with the aim of making the building a truly Zero Carbon home from both Operational and Embodied Energy, by taking consideration of renewables and sequential benefit.

The analysis included the following categories:

• Product Manufacture (carbon arising through production process)

• Construction (carbon arising through site works etc.)

• In Use (carbon arising through heating, lighting, cooling and repair/replacement)

• End of life (de-construction only, not including any recycling potential values)

Report UK-GBC Task Group

FINAL REPORT UK-GBC TASK GROUP ON CARBON REDUCTIONS IN EXISTING NON-DOMESTIC BUILDINGS

Carbon Reductions in Existing Non-Domestic Buildings: A UK-GBC Task Group on Display Energy Certificates and the Carbon Reduction Commitment Energy Efficiency Scheme.

UKGBC Comment: Energy used in our homes and non-domestic buildings is responsible for around 43 per cent of UK carbon emissions. The big challenge for UK-GBC and for the entire construction and property sector, over the next few years, is how we move from rhetoric on carbon reduction to practical delivery. The clock is ticking on the need to meet our binding national targets and UK-GBC has set out the rationale for why we probably need to go even further.
