1. Overview of the Project 

£3 million pound project to improve the thermal efficiency of the tower block which will address fuel poverty for residents within the building.



The work to be carried out is: - External Wall Insulation - Biomass Boiler System - Window Replacement - Improved insulation to the ceilings within the 16th floor



The project is eligible for grant funding which will be awarded on completion of the project to a value of £560,000 worth of carbon credits.

2. External Wall Insulation System Specified: Alsecco Ecomin 300 Description: Mechanically fixed with supplementary adhesive system – comprising of mineral wool, glass fibre reinforcing mesh and render finish Key Factors:  Thermal Performance – 100mm mineral wool enhances U value from 1.6 to 0.29  Strength and Stability – Adequately resists wind loads and impacts  Behaviour in relation to fire – Classified in accordance with current building regulations  Durability – Expected life in excess of 60 years  Aesthetics – Improved exterior  As part of the improved insulation, the roof area will also be insulated.

3. Biomass Location  South Side  Principle Planning Officer has approved location  Noise assessment completed

4. Heating & Hot Water within Each Flat  Heat Interface Unit  To be installed in the existing airing cupboard  Radiators  To be fitted in the most advantageous position within each room  Copper pipe work running at high and low levels in each flat to radiators  Programmable and controllable heating  Installation of individual pre-payment meters in each flat

660 high x 500 wide x 350mm deep

5. Window and Balcony Door Replacement  All windows will have self-cleaning, energy efficient glass and built in restrictors for safety purposes  New balcony door will open inwards  All windows and balcony doors are grey UPVC to match the aesthetics of the building

6. New Ventilation System ď ą A new, more efficient ventilation system will be installed.

ď ą New independent extractor fan to be fitted in each kitchen.

7. Other Works to be Delivered as Part of the Project 

Communal electrical rewire with new LED lighting



Upgraded communal TV aerial system



Bird Protection to window cills and roof line

8. Improvement to External Appearance ď Ž

Following the completion of these major improvement works, the external colour of the building will change from its current appearance and an illustration of this is shown within this presentation.

ď Ž

The new two tone colour scheme for Shuttleworth House will harmonise more sympathetically with the grey windows to give a fresh modern feel.

9. Project Delivery Details 

We commenced site set-up on the 2nd March 2015



The main body of work will commence in April 2015, for a duration of approximately 6 months

Keeping you informed 

Communication will be provided through the Resident Involvement Team, Kier Customer Liaison Advisor and on site project team



Weekly Surgeries with Housing Officer

Access 

To enable us to deliver this project on time, your co-operation in allowing access to your flat is essential

10. What are the benefits for residents?  Removal of inefficient electrical storage heaters  New energy efficient, controllable heating system with instantaneous hot water provision  Improved thermal efficiency of your home  Improved building fabric and aesthetics of Shuttleworth House  Addressing fuel poverty by offering a lower fuel tariff than your current provider

11.Tenant Process for Purchasing Heat and Hot Water 

City of Lincoln Council will be the energy provider for the heating and hot water system and will set the tariff



Tenants will continue to purchase their electricity from their current provider



Each flat will have its own smart meter (same principle as a pre-payment meter)



Digital display confirming current balance



Tenants can purchase credit online, over the telephone or at a local pay-point facility
