Abstract
Co2nserve is a
commercially sponsored project aimed at developing a cost effective
modular building that is able to meet sustainability, energy and carbon
efficiency needs, and is adaptable to meet a wide range of occupancy
applications. Building applications include light industrial production,
warehousing, office accommodation, educational needs and health sector
requirements. This paper describes the building development and design
process. Maximum use is made of passive measures including natural
ventilation, daylighting and natural cooling. Structural and envelope
elements have been designed for factory assembly using sustainable and/or
recyclable components. A key part of the design process was to establish a
multi-disciplinary design group at the start of the project.
This
group met on a regular basis to evolve the design. The
design has achieved a Class A Energy Performance Certificate under the
requirements of the European Energy Performance of Buildings Directive.
The building is ready for construction; a development site and occupier
for the first building is currently being identified.
Key words: Commercial
building, sustainable, cost effective, low energy design, affordable,
light industrial, warehouse, office, educational, health sector, modular.
