RIBA London Sustainability Award 2022
This project consists of the construction of the first ever Passivhaus Secondary School.
Sutton Councils aim was for a school with minimal operational carbon, certainty of energy savings and an excellent indoor environment.
This translates into energy consumtpion that’s tyically 80% lower than a standard new bulidng, giving tremendous savings on oprating costs and carbon emissions.
Sustainable Construction Services were appointed by the Main Contractor, Willmott Dixon, to complete the Whole Life Carbon Assessment.
The timber-based superstructure strategy reduced the overall embodied carbon of the project by a significant amount compared to a more typical concrete or/and steel superstructure for a building of this type.
