202 UNIT 5: THE SUSTAINABLE SITING, DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION OF TOURISM FACILITIES Environment action at the PCFE began in 1997 with the primary objectives of: • Developing an ‘environment culture’ – making resource-efficiency and waste minimisation a part of the daily activities of staff and students; • Proving that environment improvement costs need not be higher than similar, lesser environment- friendly alternatives; • Demonstrating that environment management is good business. In 1997, PCFE commissioned a feasibility study to assess the interest of industry, especially small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), in the establishment of a centre for environment excellence and/or an environment-management advisory bureau to provide guidance on environment management. Manadon Associates, a local consultant with a strong environment bias, carried out the study. The results showed that an environment advisory bureau would receive strong support across all industry sectors. “The role of the bureau will develop with time, but it needs to provide a highquality, professional and independent service that responds to the needs of SMEs. The bureau should be housed in a purpose-built unit which should incorporate examples of good practice relevant to SMEs.” Paul Barton, Manadon Associates. Following further consultations within PCFE, as well as with industry, local government and other organisations, PCFE decided to construct an environmentexemplary building to house the environment advisory bureau as well as a number of existing departments with space constraints. Funding for the new building is being provided by PCFE, with additional support from the European Union and the Further Education Funding Council. Kay Elliott Architects and Hoare Lea & Partners, Consulting Engineers, were selected to design the building. The building will consist of 2,000m2 of teaching, exhibition, office and refectory areas and associated ancillary space. It is to be sited in an existing car park and linked to surrounding buildings at the ground and first-floor levels. The design objectives are to: S E C T I O N 6 • Develop a low-maintenance but usable and comfortable building that provides for the flexible use of space; • Achieve low-energy consumption and low/zero emissions; • Provide environment conditions within acceptable tolerance levels for each activity to be undertaken within the building; • Apply cutting-edge technology to provide low-complexity design solutions; • Use current building materials and construction techniques; • Produce replicable concepts for small businesses; • Achieve all of the above within the cost limit for equivalent comparable buildings: £850 per square metre.
UNIT 5: THE SUSTAINABLE SITING, DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION OF TOURISM FACILITIES 203 Some of the key ‘green’ design features are listed below: • The south-facing facade will be maximised, with minimum facades facing the southeast and southwest. Such a building orientation is needed to maximise the control of solar gain. It was designed based on a number of studies including the annual/daily sun path at the latitude of the site, 51.7°N. • At the core of the design is a south-facing facade; a massive heavyweight structure which will act as a thermal storage unit for heat or cold depending on the season. It will slow down the transfer of heat from outside to inside and help moderate temperature fluctuations inside the building.
