Forecast |  |
The Melksham Campus project includes a number of energy efficiency approaches that will minimise the carbon footprint of the building:
* Air-source heat pumps are being installed to minimise reliance on fossil fuels.
* Photovoltaic panels have been installed on the roof, these will provide 14% of the centres electricity.
* Melksham campus will comply with Part L of Building Regulations 'Conservation of fuel and power: Approved Document L' which ensures new buildings incorporate a range of energy efficiency measures. The U-values of the building are a betterment on regulation levels, meaning better insulation performance.
* High efficiency LED lighting will be installed throughout.
* Natural ventilation is the primary ventilation mechanism, rather than mechanical.
* The air-handling units will also be fitted with heat recovery systems, to reduce the heating and cooling demands of the building.
* The building will have intelligent control systems, which ensure heating, cooling and lighting is only utilised when it is needed to ensure optimum energy efficiency.
* Three double electric vehicle charge points will be provided. Infrastructure to provide EV charging points to 20% of spaces will future proof the site (approx. additional 40 spaces).
