EACH BUILDING CONSITS OF A SERIES OF BRICK PEERS WHICH ARE LOAD BEARING. THE PEERS RANGE IN WIDTH FROM 665mm TO 1115mm AND ARE USED TO INCORPERATE THE STACK VENTILATION SYSTEM AND SERVICES FOR THE BUILDING. LARGE GLULAM BEAMS SPAN BETWEEN THESE BRICK PEERS AND ARE TIRED TOGETHER USING STAINLESS STEEL FLITCH PLATES AND BOLTS. THIS CREATES A SERIES OF THREE TIMBER RING BEAMS GIVING THE BUILDING STABILITY.

SMALLER GLULAM BEAMS AT TWO METER CENTERS SPAN BETWEEN EACH RINGBEAM. THE GLUALMS ARE CONNECTED USING A PROPRITORY PRE GALVINISED CONCEALED BEAM HANGER. SEE HANGER DETAIL (A)

STRUCTURAL ANALYSISSTRUCTURAL ANALYSISSTRUCTURAL ANALYSISSTRUCTURAL ANALYSIS

BETWEEN EACH BRICK PEER IS A SERIES OF LARGE TRIPLE GLAZED ALUCLAD WINDOWS. THE BUILDINGS ARE SET OUT ON A MODULAR GRID PATERN SO THAT THE WINDOWS ARE OF A REGULAR AND SIMILAR SIZE TO IMPROVE BUILDABILITY. ALL THE BRICK PEERS ARE SET OUT IN STANDARD BRICK DIMENSIONS TO OPTIMIZE MATERIAL USE AND COST.

THE ROOF ON EACH BUILDING IS A LIGHT WEIGHT EXTENSIVE GREEN ROOF.

ENVIROMENTAL DESIGN AND SERVICESENVIROMENTAL DESIGN AND SERVICESENVIROMENTAL DESIGN AND SERVICESENVIROMENTAL DESIGN AND SERVICESINTRODUCTION:INTRODUCTION:INTRODUCTION:INTRODUCTION:THE SCHOOL IS DIVIDED UP INTO THREE MAIN BUILDINGS. TWO SQUARE SHAPED BUILDINGS AND ONE RECTANGULAR BUILDING ALL TWO STORIES IN HEIGHT. THE THREE BUILDINGS ARE POSITIONED TO SURROUND AN OPEN SPACE TRANSITION AREA FOR STUDENTS TO PASS THROUGH FROM ONE BUILDING TO THE OTHER

BUILDING ORIENTATION:BUILDING ORIENTATION:BUILDING ORIENTATION:BUILDING ORIENTATION:THE IDEAL BUILDING ORIENTATION IS THAT THE MAIN LONG AXIS OF THE BUILDING RUNS EAST-WEST, I.E. THE RIDGE LINE. YOU CAN MOVE THIS BY AS MUCH AS 20 DEGREES WITHOUT ILL EFFECT, BUT THE MOST GLASS ON THE BUILDING MUST BE FACING TOWARDS THE SUN.[1]

TAKING THIS INTO CONSIDERATION EACH BUILDING IS ROTATED FORTY DEGREES OFF MAGNETIC NORTH WHICH IS TWENTY DEGREES OFF SOLAR NORTH. THIS IS THE IDEAL ORIENTATION FOR SOLAR GAIN.

SPACE HEATING:SPACE HEATING:SPACE HEATING:SPACE HEATING:THE BUILDINGS ARE DESIGNED IN SUCH A WAY AS TO HIDE AS MUCH OF THE SERVICES AS POSSIBLE. THIS WILL BE ACHIEVED BY USING A WEBBED JOIST FLOORING

[1]Eco Who http://www.ecowho.com/articles/6/The_importance_of_building_orientation.html [accessed 19/02/2013]

SYSTEM THROUGHOUT, ALLOWING PIPE-WORK AND DUCTING TO PASS THROUGH ALL FLOORS. AN UNDER-FLOOR HEATING SYSTEM WILL BE INSTALLED AND A ZONED CONTROL SYSTEM CREATED TO HELP ACHIEVE MAXIMUM THERMAL COMFORT. BECAUSE OF THE LARGE WIDTH OF THE BRICK PEERS ALL SERVICES CAN BE PASSED TROUGH THE VOIDS CREATED.

ENVIROMENTAL DESIGN AND SERVICESENVIROMENTAL DESIGN AND SERVICESENVIROMENTAL DESIGN AND SERVICESENVIROMENTAL DESIGN AND SERVICESOVERHEATING:OVERHEATING:OVERHEATING:OVERHEATING:DUE TO THE EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF GLAZING IN EACH FACADE, OVERHEATING WILL BE A BIG ISSUE WITH EACH BUILDING. IN ORDER TO OVERCOME THIS, A MIXTURE OF AUTOMATIC BLINDS AND BRISOLE WILL BE USED ON THE SOUTH AND EAST SIDES OF THE BUILDING. ALSO NATURAL VENTILATION WILL BE UTILIZED AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE. ALOT OF THE GLASS USED WILL BE LOW-EMISSIVITY (LOW-E). THIS OFTEN RESULTS IN MORE EFFICIENT WINDOWS BECAUSE: RADIANT HEAT ORIGINATING FROM INDOORS IS REFLECTED BACK INSIDE, THUS KEEPING HEAT INSIDE IN THE WINTER, AND INFRARED RADIATION FROM THE SUN IS REFLECTED AWAY, KEEPING IT COOLER INSIDE IN THE SUMMER.[1]

SURFACE WATER:SURFACE WATER:SURFACE WATER:SURFACE WATER:ALL THREE BUILDINGS WILL HAVE AN EXTENSIVE GREEN ROOF TO HELP RETAIN SOME OF THE RAIN WATER AND REDUCE THE AMOUNT OF SURFACE WATER RUN-OFF. THERE WILL BE SOME FORM OF SUSTAINABLE DRAINAGE SYSTEM (SUDS) INSTALLED AROUND THE SCHOOL AND IN PARTICULAR THE OPEN SPACE AREA IN-BETWEEN EACH BUILDING. PERMEABLE PAVING WILL PROBABLY BE THE MOST SUITABLE SYSTEM.

WATER STORAGE & CONSERVATION:WATER STORAGE & CONSERVATION:WATER STORAGE & CONSERVATION:WATER STORAGE & CONSERVATION:AN INDIRECT PUMPED RAIN WATER HARVESTING SYSTEM WILL BE INSTALLED ON EACH BUILDING AND THE WATER COLLECTED WILL BE USED TO SUPPLEMENT THE WATER NEEDS OF THE TOILETS.IN ORDER TO TRY AND CONSERVE WATER, WATERLESS URINALS AND SENSOR CONTROLLED TAPS WILL BE USED THROUGHOUT THE SCHOOL. THE USE OF WATERLESS URINALS ALONE CAN SAVE UP TO 100,000 LITRES OF POTABLE WATER PER URINAL A YEAR.[1]

RENEWABLE ENERGY:RENEWABLE ENERGY:RENEWABLE ENERGY:RENEWABLE ENERGY:DUE TO THE FACT THAT ALL THREE BUILDINGS HAVE A FLAT EXTENSIVE GREEN ROOF, THEY ARE IDEAL FOR USING A PHOTOVOLTAIC ARRAY TO SUBSIDIZE THE ELECTRICITY COSTS OF THE BUILDING. THE MOST EFFICIENT TYPE OF PHOTOVOLTAIC PANEL TO USE WOULD BE A MONO-CRYSTALLINE SILICON PANEL.

LIGHTING:IGHTING:IGHTING:IGHTING:THE BUILDINGS ARE DESIGNED TO UTILISE THE MAXIMUM AMOUNT OF NATURAL LIGHTING AVAILABLE.HOWEVER TO SUBSIDISE THIS, A SERIES OF LOW ENERGY LIGHTING WITH SENSORS WILL BE USED. EACH AREA OF THE SCHOOL WILL BE ASSESSED TO DETERMINE WHAT LUX LEVEL IS NEEDED. THIS WILL REDUCE THE LIGHTING COST OF THE SCHOOL.

VENTILATION:VENTILATION:VENTILATION:VENTILATION:A COMBINATION OF NATURAL CROSS VENTILATION AND A STACKED VENTILATION SYSTEM WILL BE USED IN EACH BUILDING. THE LARGE BRICK PEERS WILL HAVE A SERIES OF CAVITIES BUILT IN TO ALLOW FOR VENTILATION.. THE CAVITIES WILL BE CREATED BY ADDING A SSERIES OF SPINE WALLS INTO THE PEERS WHICH WILL ALSO GIVE STRUCTURAL STABILITY AND INCREASED FIRE RATEING TO EACH STACK. OTHER VOIDS WILL BE USED TO HIDE SERVICES AND DUCT WORK.
