Driving the sustainable energy vision
DEVELOPMENT TYPE
Energy Efficiency Target
Renewable Energy Carbon reduction targetNB
Combined Heat and Power (CHP)
Apartments and student accommodation
Meet Building Regulations
11% Carbon reduction
Incorporated unless it is demonstrate that CHP is
not feasibleHotels No prescriptive carbon
reduction target
Office Blocks 12% Carbon reduction
Not included in the policy as CHP may well not be
most appropriate
Retail, cafes and bars
4% Carbon reduction
Schools and community groups
30% Carbon reduction
Townhouses 18% Carbon reduction
Overall Effect Building regulations met
12% carbon reduction across the Site (above building reg’s)
CHP incorporated, only in the appropriate conditions
NB: Carbon reduction over and above the meeting of building regulations in the year of development. Analysis was completed for up to 2015, with technology changes beyond that considered to be outside of the scope of the current project and should be reviewed prior to 2016 Regulations
