Addressing Sustainability If we address environmental sustainability

responsibly then we may find ourselves using

unconventional construction, not as we know it

we need to understand what the elements oft e ui ing wi e su ject to uring t eir i e

Apparently a rapidly changing set of rules

And then design new elements or their methodsof construction to meet these rules:

E.g. increasing variations in wind loads,

weather, temperature, rainfall, etc.


15/167


New Methods If we design with new methods there

may be no points of reference, so wehave to start from scratch

We need to understand the principle ofelement design

And apply increasing requirements to

new materials and methods To find new solutions or enhanced

19/06/2009 NGS 16

requirements for traditional methods

and materials

The criteria for success The aims may also be very different to

conventional buildings

Fully Integrated Design Not only is it necessary to match up the

building fabric with the method of heating and

Its is vitally important that the design

disciplines work well individually on

And that they work co-operatively towards afull oined u desi n which works

Moreover when the design works well it isvital to ensure that the designed building is

compromised by the constructor.

Professionals are encoura ed to work closel across disci lines to address sustainableconstruction issues.

Areas such as heating, ventilation and renewable energy technologies require a crossdisciplinary approach to improve the chances of success.

Commercial Green Currently there are many technologies that are well understood

but many are no longer suitable to tackle global warming We need to adopt new methods that are sufficiently well

Some technologies are still immature and their prices reflectthis

Commercial Green is about finding the solutions that are forfree:

natural ventilation

solar gains

Air Source Heat Pumps not GSHP (expensive to install but cheap to run)

Solar Thermal hot water
