Leading urban regenerator,Muse Developments and partner,Blackpool Council has agreed a deal with the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP), to take the highly sustainable 215,000 sq ft office building at Talbot Gateway, which will become its latest regional hub in the North Oeste. A ventilação orientada à demanda melhorará a qualidade do ar interno, permitindo a economia de energia durante períodos de ocupação reduzida. Isso resulta no esquema com o objetivo de reduzir sua intensidade inicial de carbono incorporado para 800 kgCo
The BREEAM ‘Excellent’ building – designed by renowned architects, Make – has been designed to be ultra-low energy, promoting sustainable development and wellbeing.
An inclusive approach to sustainability was taken to make sure the building will be as energy-efficient as possible, have high levels of insulation, along with air source heat pumps to provide low-carbon heating and cooling. Demand driven ventilation will improve indoor air quality while allowing energy savings during periods of reduced occupancy.
During the scheme’s inception, partners completed early-stage whole life and upfront embodied carbon assessments, to eliminate inefficiencies where possible and reduce the building’s whole carbon footprint. This results in the scheme aiming to reduce its upfront embodied carbon intensity to 800 kgCO 2 E/M 2. comparado com 1100kgCO 2 E/M2 Para um desenvolvimento típico de escritório. O esquema também inclui um novo Tram Terminus na Talbot Road. Além do hotel, a equipe também entregou o BickerStaffe Square, de 125.000 pés quadrados, um supermercado Sainsburys e um estacionamento de vários andares de 650 espaço, ao lado de um extenso espaço público.
