SANCTUARY Awards ENERGY PROJECT AWARD WINNER SUSTAINABLE BUSINESS AWARD WINNER Landmarc Support Services Energy Project have targeted buildings across the training estate with the greatest heat losses and consumption of carbon intensive fuels. Bodney, West Tofts and Beckingham camps have all been fitted with a number of measures, ranging from cleaner more efficient sources of heating and hot water, including air source heat pumps, to more efficient boilers and radiators and ‘Tank in Tank’ hot water systems. In the process Landmarc also refurbished the buildings to improve their thermal envelope and upgraded them to include more efficient lighting, dual flush cisterns and time buttons for showers, to reduce overall energy and water requirements. For example the new ‘Tank in Tank’ hot water systems have a ‘jacket’ of hot water (recovered from the heating system) circulating between them. This large surface area preheats the water The project has resulted in warmer, brighter, energy efficient accommodation © Landmarc Support Services entering the middle tank and takes just 45 minutes to heat a tank of water, whereas the previous single-element system took up to 10 hours. The project has improved insulation and lighting, resulting in warmer, brighter accommodation, which can be made ready for users much quicker than before. Feedback from visiting units has understandably been very positive. The newly refurbished Nissen huts have been shown to numerous visitors to the camps, as an example of a successful collaborative project which meets the strategic aims and objectives of Landmarc, SD Training and the wider MOD. Landmarc has contributed to an overall reduction in energy consumption on the Training Estate, and in particular to a move away from carbon-intensive fuels. See article on page 26 ENERGY PROJECT AWARD RUNNER UP Merville Barracks Energy Consortium (MBEC) was created in late 2014 with membership drawn from the Defence Infrastructure (DIO) Private Finance Initiative (PFI) team, RMPA and Sodexo. MBEC created a Joint Energy Policy to identify ‘Who, What, Why, When and How’ the aims would be achieved. This is underpinned by an Energy Management System to provide guidance on activities and to monitor progress against energy efficiency targets. Members of the consortium ensure that all staff new to Merville Barracks are fully briefed on energy use awareness and the meaningful contributions they can make to produce savings. Relevant items are put on standing orders, posters are displayed on notice boards in more than 100 buildings encouraging changes in behaviour; reminders are issued before periods of block leave to turn off electrical items; a ‘Waste Less’ week has been promoted, with a footfall of 1,000 personnel per day for five days invited to share energy saving tips and enter a quiz. MBEC have also targeted energy use in kitchens, messes and retail areas, and over 500 colleagues were engaged in the successful energy awareness and driving tips campaigns. Merville Barracks is the first MOD and DIO establishment to receive the highly regarded ISO 50001 Certification, which is testament to the excellent collaborative approach and commitment by all parties.

<strong>SUSTAINABILITY</strong> PROJECT AWARD WINNER RAF Lossiemouth Sqn II(AC) HQ Typhoon Project Delivery Team had the task to design, contract, construct and deliver headquarters for a new Typhoon Squadron and in addition adapt and refurbish its cold war aircraft support facilities. All of which needed to be delivered sustainably to tight costs and time constraints on a complex site at pace. The delivery team challenged the Assessment Study solution and despite initial resistance, put forward their own solution that they believed could be delivered faster, cheaper and more sustainably and which would produce a much higher quality outcome for the customer. The new headquarters building provides ‘state of the art’ secure facilities required to plan and brief complex flying sorties. It also accommodates the Squadron’s engineering and logistics facilities, the Survival Equipment Section which maintains all of the high tech equipment worn by Typhoon Typhoon interceptor outside its new ‘state of the art’ squadron headquarters at RAF Lossiemouth © Crown pilots during flight, executive and administrative offices and classroom. By working closely with Sqn II(AC) they refurbished nine Hardened Aircraft Shelters and the ‘Feeder’ industrial kitchen and canteen seven months early to assist the squadron in preparation to ‘stand up’. The main squadron headquarters was also delivered a month early with a saving on the Tender Target Price in excess of £1m. By ‘stepping back’ to look at essentially what they were being asked to do, the final outcome was a very low energy, robust, future proofed, climate resilient, customer focused building. See article on page 28 <strong>SUSTAINABILITY</strong> PROJECT AWARD RUNNER UP AWE Aldermaston has played a central role in defence of the UK for more than 65 years, providing the UK’s nuclear warheads, including those for Trident, the current UK Continuous At Sea Deterrent. Their capital project teams have embraced sustainable construction as being core to their way of working. In today’s climate it has been vital for them to promote sustainability as a means to find innovative and cost-effective measures as part of their mandate to deliver enhanced value to the nation. In the waste arena, this has seen the target for diversion of construction and demolition waste from landfill raised to 90%, in line with its Re-use of waste concrete and subsoil has achieved significant savings © AWE corporate sustainability plan. In fact, in recent years, AWE has exceeded this target, achieving a 99% landfill diversion rate. The company has found that sustainable construction adds value in environmental, social and economic terms and these lessons have regularly been taken on to other projects outside AWE.
