Low Carbon Supply Chains www.adaptcbe.co.uk @adaptcbe adaptcbe.wordpress.com #cbeseminar
Project Brief - Standards & Qualitative • A ‘World Class’ building – Exemplary Academic Workspace Environment • ‘Gateway to the University’ • Flexible & Adaptable space • Ability to hold conferences and other events • Showcase of Sustainability: • 100 Year Design Life • Passivhaus Certification • BREEAM Outstanding • Very low embodied energy – Aim to be a ‘carbon sink’ • Focus on local supply chains • High use of natural materials • Soft landings and 3 year post occupancy evaluation www.adaptcbe.co.uk @adaptcbe adaptcbe.wordpress.com #cbeseminar
The Enterprise Centre: Risk RISK: lack of knowledge, cost, supply chain www.adaptcbe.co.uk @adaptcbe adaptcbe.wordpress.com #cbeseminar
Passivhaus – basic principles • Aim: To reduce the requirement for space heating and cooling and primary energy consumption, whilst also creating excellent indoor air quality and comfort levels • Fabric first approach to low energy buildings with • Excellent thermal performance • Exceptional air tightness • Mechanical ventilation www.adaptcbe.co.uk @adaptcbe adaptcbe.wordpress.com #cbeseminar
Passivhaus - Meeting Standard Performance Targets www.adaptcbe.co.uk @adaptcbe adaptcbe.wordpress.com #cbeseminar
Passivhaus - Orientation & Area/Volume Ratio Passivhaus recommends designing the building to be north / south facing, so that the solar gains can be shaded and controlled easier. An E-shaped building designed to achieve the correct orientation. www.adaptcbe.co.uk @adaptcbe adaptcbe.wordpress.com #cbeseminar

Thatching - background • Thatching materials were traditionally sourced locally; • straw is a by-product of food production and • reed grows across UK (including the Norfolk Broads) • Much now in the UK is imported (typically from eastern Europe) • increased embodied energy and carbon emissions, raising questions around its sustainability credentials. • Currently thatch in the UK is limited to heritage conservation work. • Without innovation and adoption into new build its continued use will remain limited www.adaptcbe.co.uk @adaptcbe adaptcbe.wordpress.com #cbeseminar
