  24. Sustainable Development – examples Green Travel

  25. Sustainable Development – examples Biodiversity • Existing hedgerows along Mucklets Road have been translocated • Diverse transitional zones at the edges (hedges, meadow, woodland) for diversity • Natural resources (topsoil and felled timber) will be retained for re-use • Careful plant selection will provide for invertebrate and bird populations • Micro-habitats (log piles, topography, wetland margins) add to complexity • Roosting boxes for birds and bats

  26. Sustainable Development – examples Various Ventilation • Displacement / Mixed mode / natural ventilation • Limited air conditioning • Generous fresh air rates • Concrete frame used to control environmental conditions Daylighting • Proportions of classrooms designed to minimise circulation (narrow frontage) • Use of high level windows to maximise light levels • Lighting system designed to compliment light levels – controls switch off lights where levels permit Internal Materials • 80% of floor finishes A rated as determined by Green Guide to Specification • 80% of internal wall specification A rated as determined by Green Guide to Specification

  27. Sustainable Development – examples Various INSULATION • U Values enhanced by 5% • Glazing with low ‘e’ coating to reduce heat loss and solar protection to minimise heat gains • Solar shading • Use of internal blinds - reduce glare and heat gains (LRC) • External shading to south elevations AIR TIGHTNESS • Junctions detailed to minimise air loss through fabric of building • 25% improvement on Building Regulation air leakage standards WATER MANAGEMENT • Water Out - SUDS pond/Rainwater harvesting discounted (payback) • Water In - Low use fittings (w.c.’s / urinals / taps)

  28. Sustainable Development Operational Phase • ISO 14001 • Behavioural change • Central timetable • Open plan working • Thin client IT • Becoming a 24/7 learning campus • Widening participation/lifelong learning • Green Travel
