Housing Action Resource Project
Housing Action Resource Project
Low carbon specialists OR Consulting worked with Cottrell and Vermeulen Architects on the design of a new low carbon short Stay Hostel and Day Centre for the HARP charity.
The team welcomed the challenge of creating a low carbon exemplar design for the charity on a tight budget.
Key features of the low carbon building services design strategy are:
- The adoption of natural ventilation and passive cooling techniques.
- The optimisation of the building fabric’s passive performance.
- The adoption of low carbon building services solutions.
- The installation of water efficient sanitary fittings.
- The provision of high capacity, efficient heating and hot water systems with low running costs.
- Energy efficient lighting and controls.
- The zoning of the building to reflect security and access control issues.
