Key features of the environmental design included:

  • The dynamic thermal modelling of the building and its surroundings;
  • The optimisation of the passive performance of the building’s envelope;
  • The optimisation of the building’s daylighting strategy;
  • The design of low energy lighting and controls;
  • The utilisation of air source heat pumps to heat the buildings;
  • The design of all plant to address sensitive external noise issues;
  • The installation of photovoltaics to serve the development;
  • The use of passive infra-red sensors to reduce set-points when spaces are
    occupied.
  • The design of smart energy metering;
  • The detailing of the site utility strategy.
