206 UNIT 5: THE SUSTAINABLE SITING, DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION OF TOURISM FACILITIES • The vents in the north-facing roof will also provide automated night ventilation to cool the building, especially in summer. • Existing energy utilities will be extended into the new building and new contracts will be set up to provide green electricity produced by renewable sources. The building will therefore have low/zero carbondioxide emissions. Current best practice in carbon-dioxide emissions from buildings in the UK is 12-34 kg/m 2 . • The building aims to operate on an energy target of less than 83kWh/ m2/annum. Current best practice in building energy efficiency in the UK is 83-100 kWh/m 2 /year. • The following areas will be naturally ventilated by means of openable windows/vents: teaching areas, labs, interview room, refectory, study/ display area, seminar room, general office, toilets and atrium link corridors. The toilets and atrium will include a supplementary extract vent to assist natural ventilation if required. • The following areas will be mechanically ventilated: sub-basement area (computer rooms), kitchen/servery, internal offices and fileserver/communication rooms. • Solar water-heaters located on the south facade shading panels will heat the hot-water storage cylinders. E • Two wind turbines will be installed to supplement electricity supply to X the building. • Both the physical location and the use of the massive structure E will separate acoustically-sensitive areas from noisy areas. R • The computer rooms will be located in the sub-basement to allow C the heat gain in the area to rise naturally and be exhausted (via an airhandling unit) into the atrium. I S • Radiators and heating/cooling circuits will be weather-compensated and fitted with thermostatic radio valves to allow the temperature E to be regulated by occupants. S • Lighting will be controlled via manual light switches. Some fittings on the ground, first and second floors will have additional photocell controls to dim lighting, depending on daylight level. Occupancy sensors will be installed in the sub-basement computer rooms. • External lighting will be minimised and controlled by photocells and time switches. • Electricity, gas and water supplies to the building will be metered. S E C T I O N 6 Staff and Student Travel and Parking Plan To complement the new building, PCFE has commissioned Manadon Associates to develop a sustainable travel and parking strategy for staff and students. (PCFE already offers a subsidised bus service to all students and operates a free college shuttle.) “It is our intention to produce a building that will influence future building design and demonstrate that environment-intelligent initiatives are cost-effective and good for business. We are also in the process of developing an environment management programme, following a preliminary environment review, which was completed in May 1999. A lot of planning goes into our work, for we want to

Environment stewardship is not about piece-meal efforts and short terms gains, but longer-term accountability.” J. Gilbert Snook, Head of Estates CONTACT INFORMATION MR.
