Green Energy: Part L Compliance
Following on from the Governments initiative to lower industry carbon emissions, the new Part L building regulations that were introduced in April 2006 require all commercial buildings to produce 27% less CO2 than was formerly allowed.
While many firms will struggle to fulfil this criteria the Container City™ system lends itself perfectly as a a cheap way to recycle industrial products.
How does Container City™ comply?
- Minimal concrete foundations required (existing structure strong yet lightweight)
- Little noise pollution (Off site construction and fast installation)
- Natural ventillation (No need for air conditioning)
- Photoelectric light sensitive cells (External lighting sensitive to light changes)
- Thermally efficient (uses external walkways and lift towers, double thick insulation and sealed south facing glazed units)
- Minimal artificial light required (fully glazed facades)
- Separate light and heat controls for each unit. (modular system less open plan)
Possible Environmental Features:
- Rain water harvesting
- Wind turbines
- Green Roofs:
- Plant nurseries:
