Sustainable Development – Success?• Assessment Tools
– Breeam– excellent rating -77%
– Highest scoring HE in UK
– Highest ‘bespoke’ excellent rating in Scotland (4th highest in UK)
– Land use and Ecology high scoring – unusual for Greenfield site
Sustainable Development – Success?• Assessment Tools
– Ceequal – Similar to Breeam – Split client, design and construction (QMUC doing all) – Categories
– Land use– Landscape – Ecology and Biodiversity – Water issues– Energy – Material Use– Waste management– Transport – Nuisance to neighbours– Community relations
– On course for excellent rating
Sustainable Development – Success?• Assessment Tools
– Envest – Life cycle impacts assessment
– Models based on ecopoints
– Embodied and operational impacts – Exemplary performance gained 21 eco points (better than BRE target)
Sustainable Development – Success?• Other measures
– Capital Funding • LTIF/SE
– Marketing and Development • Case Study SFC Sustainable development• Case Study UK SMG – Space Management
– Sustainable Institution • Affordable estate –LCC/utilities/area • Business Transformation• 21st Century Estate

Biomass •73% savings in carbon emissions
•Gas 459 tonnes – Biomass 126 tonnes
Sustainable Development – examples
Green Travel
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
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
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)
Sustainable Development
• ISO 14001
• Behavioural change – Central timetable
– Open plan working
– Thin client IT
– Becoming a 24/7 learning campus
– Widening participation/lifelong learning
– Green Travel
Operational Phase
Sustainable Development Client Perspective – Summary
• Clarity of vision• Shared Vision (think big)• Holistic approach• Involve stakeholders• Construction and operation• Measurability (appropriate targets)• Role of design team
