PECKHAM STUDENT LIVING Term 2 Project

INTRODUCTION

This report is the term 2 project of the MSc+March Sustainable Environmental Design Program for 2016-2018. It is a base for practicing the knowledge learnt in the program in design. The project brief asked the students to form a design project of mixed use residential development in a site of 4400sqm area located besides the Peckham Library.

This report begins with a general overview of the site, including its location, weather data, historical background and so on. It comes out with the conclusion to offer student accommodation on the site. Then a deep study on student accommodation is presented, followed by the design brief. As it is concluded from the Term 1 project as well as the case study and interview with occupants from different student accommodations in London, that overheating could become a major issue in student accommodation, which the proposal focuses on. The proposal also takes students requirements, both physical and psychological, context, neighbor and climate change into consideration.

Both simulations of daylighting and thermal were taken to define the detail design and predict the different possible scenarios. The window size for students’ room and communal space is based on the criteria of enough daylighting while avoiding the overheating issue. Different strategies are applied to fit different needs for different functions. The energy consumption is calculated to compare with that of common student accommodation in London. Solar PV is equipped as renewable energy to enhance the sustainability of the project.

In terms of the site plan, the layout is decided by the studies of outdoor space, context and the comments of neighbor. The proposal offers central courtyard in accommodation part to encourage students to use communal spaces indoor as well as the outdoor space which is assumed to be the main space for the occupants to communicate and hold activities. As for the relationship between the site and the Peckham library, the public program is set to perform as the transition between public and private space, in addition to the extension of the Peckham Library. Due to the sense of landmark of Peckham Library, the proposal introduces the library as a part of the site instead of building something against it. As an essential part in the proposal, outdoor studies, including shadow, wind and UTCI, were done to simulate the comfort level when people have outdoor activities.

Work was split reasonably between the team members to ensure everyone has a clear understanding of the project and get necessary knowledge and skills during the entire process. This project provides a strong foundation for design in the future terms. It is a mix of research, investigation, design and simulation that helps each team member learn how to take sustainability into account while design a project. It especially highlights the understanding of the overheating issue as well as the solution.

Eagle Wharf Site

LOCATION

The site is located (51.4743° N, 0.0692° W) in Peckham, in a densely populated residential and commercial context. The site (Fig. 1.1.1) is in south-east of london and falls under the Sourthwark borough. It is very well connected with major transport facilities, nearest underground station being Peckham Rye and it also has various bus stops in the vicinity. The site (Fig. 1.1.2) is easily identified as it sits right next to a landmark building called Peckham library. For the purpose of collecting weather data, the London central weather station was selected.

It can be seen from Fig.1.2.1, the average temperature in Peckham doesn’t show much difference in historical and future weather data. In order to simulate the future scenario, the epw file for future was manually edited according to “UK Climate Projection, 2002”. The temperature is assumed to rise 2 degrees in the future. Therefore, overheating may become the major issue in the future instead of heating problem. In addition, it is noticed that the solar radiation would decrease in the future.

Simulations for this project are based on the historical weather data in the epw file of Peckham now and the edited future one.

CHAPTER 1 1.3 Historical Study

A branch opened

HISTORICAL STUDY

It should be noted that the grass slope next to the site was surrey canal built in early 19th century for timber import and the Whitten Timer Yard on the north was established following the development of the canal. Nonetheless, the Surrey Docks were in decline and canal was eventually disused and filled to be a green walk (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grand_Surrey_Canal).

About the surrounding buildings, it was listed on the heritage statement by AB Heritage Archaeological Consultancy, 2016 that 58 Peckham High Street and 91 & 93 Peckham High Street which is the west end of the shard terrace were built during 18th to 19th century. They were both original flats. Later, shops were built in front due to the development of commercial centre of rye lane Peckham conservation area which is the blue area in the Fig.1.3.1. Most buildings in this area were constructed between the early – 19th and 20th century with a wide range of construction materials and architectural styles.

Since then, this area was famous for various shops and services (Southwark Council, 2011).

Development of a residential and industrial nature

Shards Terrace built

In 2000, the Peckham Library was built and won the Stirling Prize for Architecture in 2000, which made it the landmark of Peckham. The Sweeping views from library allows residents of Peckham to know that they are in London. With Peckhame square, this part becomes the centre of Peckham which the people living in Peckham attach a lot of importance to (Appendix B Site Study: Comments & Condition).

The Kentish Drovers public house,is right next to the Peckham canopy, constructed during the late – 19th century, following the widening of Peckham High Street during the c. 1870s. It changed from Former London and South Western bank to a public house with a pub (Southwark Council, 2011) (Fig.1.3.1).

During the design process, the history elements are essential to be taken into consideration to embed the building within its current and historic context. For example, the material palette should emphasize the building’s civic nature and respond to Peckham Library and the wider Square.

In addition to general needs housing, there are a number of other housing types that cater for the specific needs of certain members of the community.These types of housing include • Sheltered housing • Supported housing • Student accommodation.

These specialist housing types can be both self-contained, such as flats, and non self-contained, such as hostels, houses in multiple occupation and cluster flats. In non self-contained accommodation facilities such as kitchens, bathrooms and lounges are usually shared. In most cases these types of housing are designed to meet the specific needs of the user group they are intended to accommodate and therefore do not meet general needs housing because they are not necessarily permanent housing and are only available to a specific user group. Student housing is not considered to be affordable housing (Fig.1.4.1).

1. By 2011 there will be a 12% growth in people over 85 years of age.

2. Nearly 20,000 households in Southwark contain one or more persons with a special need.

3. Of the 54.1% of households living in social rented housing, 61.8% contain a disabled person.

4. 22.6% of social rented housing contains a frail elderly person.

5. In March 2004, Southwark was providing temporary accommodation for over 900 homeless households.

URBAN ANALYSIS

-

Residential From the site information received from Carl Turner’s Proposal (Carl Tuner Architects, 2016) and Digimap (https://digimap.edina.ac.uk/), we were able to map out the site conditions with a radius of 500m around the site.

As we can see (Fig 1.5.1) the basic road networks have been mapped.

Peckham Road runs from east to west is situated toward south of the site. This road is a primary road which is a major transportation route.

The landscaped spaces are allocated around the site and towards north of the site where most of the residential buildings are situated (Fig 1.5.2) in order to have a peaceful surrounding.

In (Fig 1.5.2), all the public, commercial and mixed use spaces are situated along the Peckham Road making it a medium density zone. Public parkings have been allotted around these medium density zones.

A lot of public schools and colleges are located in the vicinity which shows that high student crowd add up to the local population number.

In (Fig. 1.5.3.), we can observe that the proposed site is situated around 20 public bus stops within 500m radius. Out of these bus stops 3 are located within 50m distance from the site. It shows that our site is well connected by public bus network.

In (Fig. 1.5.4.), we can observe that the north – south cycling route runs along our site which shows users are encouraged to use cycles in Peckham allowing to control the noise pollution and traffic movement and thus promoting a healthy environment. Pedestrians have been given easy access around Peckham square.

CONTEXT OBSERVATIONS It can be seen from the Fig.1.7.1 that there is a nice green walk on the west of the site. It is welcomed to bring the green of Surrey Canal Walk into Peckham. The building heights in the context largely vary from two to four storeys. Peckham Pulse and Peckham Library at the northern end of the conservation area are taller buildings at a height of four storeys.

There is a wide range of architectural styles and construction materials in the surrounding. Fig.1.7.2 summarizes the main material in the surrounding constructions. As the Peckham Library is regarded as the landmark and the Peckham library square is a key civic space within Peckham town center, the proposal should emphasize the building’s civic nature and respond to Peckham Library and the Victorian villas along Peckham Hill Street in aspects of scale and material.

Fig. 1.7.1. Site photos.

It is summarized from the interview of neighbor and comments of the Peckham Library that the main concern of the site includes 1. Security issue because of the lack of lighting and natural supervision.

2. Conflict points of cyclists and pedestrians 3. Lack of cafĂŠ and space in Peckham Library.

UTCI & OBSERVATION

Spot measurement was taken both under the sunshine and the shadow in 20th January which was a sunny day. There is a long green walk on the west of site while on the east side is the main road, so spot measurements were taken along the west end and near the main road to compare the UTCI in different conditions. Additionally, the narrow lane at the back of the library is shaded by the library all the time, so another spot was measured there. One spot at the entrance of the library was also taken into account, as it is under the huge overhang.

The UTCI calculation in Fig. 1.8.3 demonstrates that there is no thermal stress outside. The data in Fig. 1.8.1 and Fig. 1.8.2 illustrates that the temperature difference can reach up to 3.5 degrees.

It was observed that the grass in the shadow was with frost while that in the sunlight wasn’t which was really interesting. The site was quiet and pleasant with the chirping of the birds. The park cleaner said that during the day there were many pedestrians and cyclists, but in the evening, this place was empty which triggers safety issue.

STUDENTS’ WEEKDAY SCHEDULE & CONSUMPTION

Due to the lack of specific guides for student accommodation, some precedents in London were studied including some compact residential one (Appendix C. Case Study). It demonstrates the main character of student accommodation including room types and amenities. The comments and interviews of the occupants show the main concern. For example, students complained about the noise and the inefficiency of the extract fan in the bathroom, also the dark and stuffy corridor.

We even go further to get detail schedules of students (Appendix D. Student Interview). Combined with the interview from the last term project UCL Prankerd House, there is information on 5 Students’ schedule and accommodation, 3 of them have kitchenette and others don’t.

STUDENTSâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; WEEKEND SCHEDULE & CONSUMPTION

Both weekday and weekend are taken into account to get a more precise result. Fig.2.2.1 and Fig.2.2.2 illustrate the hourly consumption of each room.

These students, from different countries can have really different lifestyle.

Some of them may cook dinner for an hour or even more, but some they would only spend less than 10 minutes. Occupants from UCL Prankerd house shared similar schedules as they come from the same country and faculty. All the schedules are considered to be reasonable.

During the weekday, most consumption happens after students go back to cook dinner and work in the room while during the weekend, more activities happen during daytime when students would spend more time in the room.

It was noticed from the interview that the student from Chapter living, open his window all daylong. He complained about the overheating when he cooks dinner with some friends. The student from Woodline said she barely use heater in winter cause the room is always warm enough

CHAPTER 2 2.3 Case Study Summary

Table 2.3.1 Energy comsunption

CONSUMPTION SUMMARY

The consumption by kitchen appliances and others is calculated separately to get average daily consumption for single and double room, because two of the cases do not have kitchenette. As for double rooms, through the interview, some of them would always cook together, but some separately. Therefore, it is assumed that the kitchenette consumption for double room is that for single one multiplied by 1.5. Exact power and schedules for all the appliance are listed in Appendix E. Appliances calculation.

From Table.2.3.1, it’s noticeable that the daily consumption of kitchen accounts for about 50% of the total consumption. As can be told from the power density, the appliances can generate a lot heat. Additionally, from the last term’s project, it is concluded that the communal kitchen would cause overheating problem in some degree. Hence, the overheating could become a potential issue for student accommodation. All the numbers got from case study would be used for the further simulation step.

Except for these students, some classmates who live in student accommodation were also interviewed to get more general idea about student accommodation. It should be noticed that most of them said they prefer to have their own kitchenette in their room.

As for materials, most of them have wooden floor or wood effect floor. Although in some student accommodation, they have carpet for flooring, occupants complained that it is difficult to clean and it’s old and dirty. Therefore, the wood would be the ideal material for flooring. It needs to be pointed out that most of student accommodations use aluminum for window frame. Nevertheless, as aluminum does not performs well thermally, it would be better to change it for wood or vinyl.

ENVIRONMENTAL Daylight

In the student accommodation, the most important function to consider are the student’s studio rooms because it covers more than 50% area of the whole student accommodation. We can observe (Fig. 3.1.1) that daylight, ventilation, views out, security, privacy and glare control are critical which means that these strategies have to be given primary importance while designing. Other strategies like close control thermal range and acoustic isolation have been given secondary importance which means that I can be tested after the critical strategies have achieved the required results.

Natural Ventilation Solar Access Views Out Acoustic Isolation Close Control Thermal Comfort Range

The common study rooms and the common rooms they cover more than 30% area of the accommodation. In this case, daylight, natural ventilation and close control thermal range requires high consideration leaving out others to be given importance after the above strategies have achieved the required results.

The public theatre and gallery cover an area more than 1200 sq.m. Daylight, security and close control thermal range are considered to be critical Most of the public space is being occupied by the theatre and the gallery. In this case, daylight, close control thermal range and security are to given critical importance. Daylight in public café also have been given critical importance.

This environmental matrix provides us a base where detailed analysis is needed and thus this information can be used to manage time.

The Environmental Matrix employs a weighting scheme to indicate relative importance of impacts. In this matrix, key environmental sustainability strategies have been identified which associates to different functions of the building. Every functions have a designated floor area which then also helps to define the strategies requirements for the respective functions. The matrix is differentiated into 4 categories depending on their importance – critical, desirable, not important and not desirable.

Regarding to site overview and urban study, student accommodation surely suits to the urban context as the neighborhood is filled with schools and colleges.

Due to good accessibility by public transport and closeness to the Peckham public center formed by library, public square and multi-functional canopy, the public program was introduced.

The Fig. 3.2.1 illustrates the stratergy that was a base for our proposal. It was assumed that for both: student housing and public program, the accessibility by public transportation, bicycle as well as by walking is necessary to provide. The Public Program needs to be integrated into the existing greenery axes from the Burgess Park and extend the functions of the Peckham Library and Peckham Square.

CANOPY

Student accommodation was assumed to keep distance from the Peckham center and visually be separated from the Public program for privacy and security reasons.

ROOM TYPOLOGY

Fig.3.3.1 compares the conventional room plan of student accommodation and the proposed one. As summarized from the case study, students complied about the mechanically ventilated bathroom due to the noise and the inefficiency. There is same complaint about the kitchen. Kitchen and the bathroom are usually put next to the corridor which makes them dark and smelly. Although in this way, it can achieve higher density and less exposure, in order to offer a more pleasant living condition for students, kitchen and bathroom are naturally ventilated in this proposal, which simultaneously increase the daylit area because of less depth.

ORIENTATION STUDY OF THE ROOM

The proposed student accommodation consists of three different room units: double room without kitchenette, couple room with kitchenette and single.

From the case studies, we learnt that the single rooms are in more demand than the other rooms. So for the proposed student accommodation single rooms account for 70% of the total rooms, whereas double room without kitchenette account for 20% and couple room account for 10% of the total rooms. The single room occupies an area of 12 sq.m whereas the couple room with kitchenette occupies an area of 15.4 sq.m and the double room without kitchenette occupies an area of 18 sq.m which is the largest.

The next step would be to find out the suitable orientation for the different rooms based on the internal gains and the external gains. The values have been achieved through mint sheet (Appendix G Mint Sheet). We can observe that (Fig. 3.4.1) in the case of double room without kitchenette where the internal gains are low (appliances: 2.4 kwh), it would be preferably oriented towards south so that it receives plenty solar gains in order to achieve a higher temperature of 15°C than facing other direction during cold days when the outside temperature is 3°C. During days when its 15°C outside there might be a chance of overheating but with the help of ventilation and low internal gains, the operative temperature can become 23.3°. Thus the double room without kitchenette would be suitable to orient towards south.

In case of couple room with kitchenette where the internal gains are high (appliances: 4.5 kwh), it would be suitable to orient itself towards north in order to receive less solar gains to prevent overheating in summer. During cold days when the outside temperature is 3°C, the internal temperature would be 17.9°C which is lowest as compared to other directions but when the outside temperature is 15°C, the internal temperature is 25.2°C which is low compared to other direction thus it wouldn’t overheat.

In case of single rooms with kitchenette the internal gains from the appliances is 3.4kwh. As the other rooms have been the orientated towards north and south, the single rooms can be oriented towards east and west as the building blocks have the longer side oriented towards east and west which can occupy all the single rooms which are large in number compared to other rooms and thus will help to simplify the design. During cold days when the outside temperature is 3°C, the internal temperature can be around 14.4°C and when the temperature outside is 15°C, the internal temperature cam be between 26 to 27°C. In conclusion, the three room are orientated towards different direction based on the internal gains and design solutions.

Landscape strategy (Fig. 3.5.3.) is based on continuation of the rhythm of existing rises by adding a dominant hill of the 3.5 meters height covered with grass. This mound considerates public enclosed spaces (Fig. 3.5.4.) such as cafe and multipurpose theatre. To provide uniform diffuse daylight, as well as for natural ventilation proposes, the north oriented lighting wells were established.

The student accommodation houses (Fig. 3.5.5.) have the north to south long axes as the previous study defined that the west and east orientations is the most appropriative for the most of the rooms.

The blocks location determined by the privacy consideration and the height set to be similar with existing surrounding. To create windproof, private area between the buildings (Fig. 3.5.6.), the west block was extended (appendix F. Wind Study) in the east direction.

As was mentioned the nearest public transport stop locates near the eastern border of the site and main pedestrian axes in the west. To provide the access to the bus stop for the occupants as well as to link it with the walking axes, the west block was divided (Fig. 3.5.7.). The courtyard was drowned in to the ground for a 2 meters to provide community space and to extend the area of the blocks within the established height. The entrances to the student houses oriented inside the yard for a privacy and security reasons.

To minimize the overshadow and to prove the view for the existing private houses, the heights (Fig. 3.5.8.) of the East and South Blocks was decreased and East block mass was carved. The roof was sloped in order to increase the solar gains for further photovoltaic panels as well as for aesthetic proposes.

The strategy for zoning in accomodation blocks was to first divide each floor by 3m in height (floor finish to floor finish level) and then dividing the floors by functional attributes. As shown in Fig. 3.6.1, the west block is 14.65m high, the south block and east block, 11.10m and 8.65m high respectively.

The functions broadly allocated to each levels is determined by the use of the spaces inside each block. (Fig.3.6.2) The sub-ground levels have communal spaces together with utlitiy areas such as gym, laundry room etc., which do not require immidiate or strong use of daylighting as defined earlier in environmetal matrix. The majority of typical floors above sub-ground level are populated with living units, while the top floors in each block has living units along with common study areas and balconies.

The Sub-Ground Floors (Fig. 3.8.1) of all the blocks are composed of utilities and facilities such as Gym, Lounge room, laundry rooms, Reception and waiting, cinema room and games room. The strategy to plan the sub-ground floor was to divide spaces according to the environmental matrix formed to study the areas which require immediate attention to environmental factors such as daylight, ventilation and thermal comfort.

The Typical floor plans (Fig 3.8.2.) has three types of rooms divided even on the floor namely - Single Rooms(with kitchenette), Double-Bed Shared rooms(without kitchentte) and Double-Bed Couple rooms. There are a total of 46 Single shared rooms combined in west and east blocks, 15 Double-bed Shared rooms and 8 Double-Bed couple rooms combined in south block. The floors are centrally divided by the staircase in order to shorten the length of the corridor to a maximum of 19m. This is also helps in poviding daylit corridors which are around 50% more than 2% daylight factor as found during simulations (refer daylight studies). The daylight corridors have a positive pychological effect on the occupants and also helps in decreasing increasing consumption as noted in case studies and interviews.

ELEVATIONS

The proposed materials in elevations for student Accommodation blocks are kept in consideration with that of the context materials. The Fig. 3.8.4, Fig.3.8.5, Fig.3.8.6 reflects materials used in the elevations facing the courtyard. Bricks are used as wall cladding materials and matching coloured roof tiles for sloped roof. This forms a continuity in elevations in the courtyard and provides a more psychological feeling of a small yet homely feeling for students living in there. The facades are punctured by windows and balconies and centralised staircase which has a glazed faced to provide good amount of dalight in corridors (refer daylight simulations) as it was found during the interviews that most student accommodations lack appropriate daylit corridors.

A large portion of walls are left blank intentionally in elevations (refer daylight studies) as they house common spaces such as residentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lounge and common kitchen/ dining on typical floors and cinema room,store rooms and other utility spaces on sub-ground floors, which either do not require strong daylighting functionally or can cause glare issues if provided with windows.

The large glazed walls seen in the Fig. 3.8.7, Fig. 3.8.8, Fig. 3.8.9 are a result of daylight studies and thermal studies in communal spaces which is why the glazed wall is broken by horizontal bands of wall 0.75m high.

The result of which is maxmum thermal and visual comfort in those particular common spaces.It is to noted that the proportions rooms and of window sizes have been decided also keeping into considerations the brick sizes to minimize wastage of bricks formed by cutting at junctions of windows.

The east block is lowest in height keeping in mind not to overshadow the neighbourhood houses while also allowing sunlight to the courtyard in winter when the sun angle is quite low. The west and the east accomodation blocks provide a sense of privacy to the courtyard while also linking public access to through site. Although the courtyard is overshadowed by the two buildings it provides plenty of oppurnities to seek outdoor activites during spring and summer when there is ample of sunlight.

The windows open upto 10% to facilitate ventilation inside the room due to stack height of top hung double level windows.

External walls are 450mm wide and has two layers of bricks both interior and exterior along with insulation and air cavity to create a good thermal mass (u-values defined in thermal simulations).

DAYLIGHT STRATEGY Regarding to occupants interview (Appendix D. Student Interviews) as well as common knowledge, daylit environment is preferred by occupants. Furthermore, it proves health, wellbeing, productivity outcomes increases and reduces the energy consumption.

The daylight strategy grounds on the determination of the passive daylit zones regarding to the function of the space and minimization of the glazing area in the rooms with the highest internal heat gains such as living units in order to prevent the overheating issue during the summer sunny weather.

At the start, the basic simulation (Appendix A. Software Simulations) was run. Fig 4.1.1. demonstrates the Daylight Factor on the exterior wall surfaces layered by the zones of glazing, obtained results ranged from 35% to 70%. As it was expected, the sub-ground surfaces receive the less daylight and it was assumed that this floors could be populated with the communal spaces that do not require strong daylighting but required good accessibility, glazing of this areas was applied for natural ventilation, visual connection with courtyard and aesthetic purposes.

The communal spaces that will used on a regular basis, studying areas, student common lounge, dining rooms and the area of the desks and kitchenette (where applicable) in the living rooms are considered as passive zones and those that requires good access to daylight.

Among the passive zone, the areas with the less daylight were selected for further study.

The criteria for the passive daylight zones was determined by the BREEM New Construction 2016 technical manual and consist of the Daylight Factor average of 2% covered the 80% of the area.

The communal space of the ground floor in the West Block was selected for daylight study as it window surfaces have the less Daylight Factor. The circulation space of the floor was tested as well. The area of the working desks and lounge sofa was considered as passive zone with the height of the window estimated as 1.5 meters and area of the glazing in within that that is around 16 meters.

Due to simulation result (Fig. 4.2.1.) the average Daylight Factor within the passive zone estimates 4.7%, and the 86% of the space receive the demanded daylight. It is important to mention that the light evenly distributed and exclude preconditions for the glaring effect.

For the whole common area of the floor, including the corridor and the stairs, the average Daylight Factor is 3.1, that is reasonable considering that most of the area is a transit space.

The living unit 1 represents the single bedroom with kitchenette (Fig. 4.3.1.), that locates in the West Block, which has best daylight potential. Due to the minimum obstructions the area of the windows was estimated as only 2 sq/m.. The window to floor ratio estimates 22% that is very usual for local housing and match the typical student accommodation bedroom. Compact floor layout allow to keep the area of the window 45% smaller comparing to an average (Appendix C. Case Study) in the case study. It reduces solar heat gains in the summer as well as heat loss in the winter. To compensate the minimized area inside bedrooms, the extensive communal program provided on each floor.

The simulation (Appendix A. Software Simulations) shows that within the passive zone the average daylight factor estimates 3.8% and the 83% of the area receive the required daylight what guarantee good quality of the daylight on the surface of the working desk and kitchenette.

The window in the bathroom allow it to be daylited with an average Daylight Factor of 1.8% that allow to use it use during the most of the daytime without addition artificial lighting.

The living unit 2 represents the single bedroom with kitchenette (Fig. 4.4.1.), located in the East Block that in average receives the less daylight. In order to achieve the necessary criteria the area of the windows was increased comparing to the West Block single bedrooms and estimates 2.2 sq./m..

Window to floor ratio increased to 25% but still could be considered as a common.

Simulation (Appendix A. Software Simulations) indicates that within the passive zone the 84% of the area is covered with a Daylight Factor of 2% or more.

The bathroom hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been considered as a passive zone, and the size of the window remain the similar with other blocks as it provide the necessary natural ventilation, also unified bathroom window could provide visual unity of the complex as well as simplify the construction. The average Daylight Factor inside this area is 1.5%.

WINTER SOLAR RADIATION GAINS The solar study was performed to define the distribution of the solar gain on the different exterior surfaces. To identify the potential thermal stress in the indoor spaces and study them in the further thermal study the glazing area was displayed.

To define the differences of the solar gains during the cold months, the initial simulation (Appendix A. Software Simulations) was run. The resulted diagram (Fig. 5.1.1.) demonstrates that for the all vertical surfaces the amount of the receiving energy is evenly low and is within the 0.3-0.7 kWh/sq.m. range. Due to resulting similarity, the winter solar gains assumed to not be considered in determination of the spaces to be tested in further thermal study.

The period for the simulation was set from 8 December 01 AM to 14 December 12 PM. 52

90% Available Solar Radiation Assuming that photovoltaic panels are the most feasible source of renewable energy due to economic reasons and urban context, the roof slopes were studied precisely.

To define the interrelation between the angle of the roof slope and the amount of the receiving solar energy, the series of the annual simulations were performed. For each slope angle in each block, the amount of energy was calculated and compared in the diagrams, all the surrounding context was carefully modeled and considered. The angle is shown in degrees and the energy in kWh/sq.m.

Fig. 5.3.1. and Fig. 5.3.2. illustrate the results for the West and East Blocks were 40 degrees and 30 degrees for the west oriented and east oriented slopes respectively, which were determined as the optimum in aspects of solar radiation and internal typological volume.

In case of double room without kitchenette facing south, internal heat gains are less as compared to others but has high solar gains. Due to this factor, the internal temperature doesn’t over heat much making the room comfortable throughout the year with necessary ventilation. In case of summer when the outside temperature is higher than the comfort band, the room tends to overheat a little.

In case of single room with kitchenette facing east, internal heat gains are higher than the double room but has less solar gains. The internal temperature doesn’t overheat much making the room comfortable throughout the year with necessary ventilation. In case of summer when the outside temperature is higher than the comfort band, the room tends to overheat a little.

In case of couple room with kitchenette facing north, internal heat gains are higher than all the rooms but has very minimum solar gains. In case of summer when the outside temperature is higher than the comfort band, the room tends to overheat a little. But with the help of necessary ventilation the room temperature can be brought down to the comfort band.

No. of hours the outdoor temperature above comfort band annually = 79 Hours Out of those hours the temperature of the space above comfort band Single Room = 57 Hours Double Room = 55 Hours Couple Room = 48 Hours During April when the students have gone for a vacation, the internal gains of all the rooms are almost zero except for the rooms where refrigerator have to be kept running throughout. During that period, the internal temperature of the south double room rises cause of high solar gains due to its orientation. But the internal temperature of the north couple room drops down due to its north orientation receiving minimum solar gains. But if window shutters are applied during that period then the temperature of all rooms could be less affected.

From the graph we can observe that all the rooms are most of the time in comfort band throughout the year without any additional heating or cooling supply thus making it free running.

The graph (Fig. 6.2.2) illustrates the efficiency of the different rooms during a summer week where the outside temperature ranges between 14°C to 24°C. The average outside temperature is 18.70°C and the average temperature of A) B) C)

Single Room with kitchenette facing East – 24.07°C Double Room without kitchenette facing South – 23.75°C Couple Room with kitchenette facing north – 24.54°C

In case of double room without kitchenette facing south, internal heat gains are less as compared to others but has high solar gains. Due to this factor, the internal temperature doesn’t over heat much making the room comfortable.

The internal temperature is lower than all other rooms.

In case of single room with kitchenette facing east, internal heat gains are higher than the double room but has less solar gains. The internal temperature doesn’t overheat much making the room comfortable throughout the year with necessary ventilation.

In case of couple room with kitchenette facing north, internal heat gains are higher than all the rooms but has very minimum solar gains. But with the help of necessary ventilation the room temperature can be brought down to the comfort band. The internal temperature is higher than all other rooms.

From the graph we can observe that all the rooms do not overheat at any point during the week. The rooms are most of the time in comfort band during the week without any additional heating or cooling supply thus making it free running.

The graph (Fig. 6.3.2) illustrates the efficiency of the different rooms during a winter week where the outside temperature ranges between 1°C to 14°C. The average outside temperature is 9.05°C and the average temperature of A) B) C)

Single Room with kitchenette facing East – 19.77°C Double Room without kitchenette facing South – 19.18°C Couple Room with kitchenette facing north – 20.48°C

During the winter season, the solar gains are comparatively low. So in order to achieve a comfortable temperature the rooms need to be well insulated to prevent heat loss.

In case of double room without kitchenette facing south, internal heat gains are less as compared to others but because of well insulated walls and south orientation, the room is in comfort band during the week.

In case of single room with kitchenette facing east, internal heat gains are higher than the double room. Because of moderate internal gains and well insulated walls, the room is in comfort band during the week.

In case of couple room with kitchenette facing north, internal heat gains are higher than all the rooms. Thus it achieves a temperature in comfort band which doesn’t overheat.

From the graph we can observe that all the rooms neither overheats nor it drops lower than the comfort band at any point during the week. The rooms are most of the time in comfort band during the week without any additional heating or cooling supply thus making it free running.

The graph (Fig. 6.4.2) illustrates the efficiency of the common room throughout the year. The average outside temperature is 11.97°C and the average temperature of the common room is 22.28°C. In case of common room, internal heat gains are high but has moderate solar gains. In case of summer when the outside temperature is higher than the comfort band, the common room tends to overheat a little. But with help of ventilation the temperature of the common room appears to be in comfort band most of the times. The temperature can be even more controlled if window shutters are applied. In case of winter, the internal temperature tends to be in comfort zone without any additional heating.

No. of hours the outdoor temperature above comfort band annually = 79 Hours Out of those hours the temperature of the space above comfort band Common Room = 73 Hours During April when the students have gone for a vacation, the internal gains of the common room is almost zero. During that period, the internal temperature of the common room slightly drops down because of the drop in the external temperature.

From the graph we can observe that the common room is most of the time in comfort band throughout the year without any additional heating or cooling supply thus making it free running.

CHAPTER 6 6.5 Thermal Analysis of Room during Vacation - Winter

N

THERMAL ANALYSIS OF ROOM UNITS - WINTER INCASE OF SHORT VACATION. In this simulation, we have considered a case when students go away for a weekend and find out what would happen to the internal room temperature and how it would change when the students come back and start operating it.

This simulation is a thermal analysis of all the rooms during a winter period [ 16th December - 22nd December]. The students would be away from 16th December to 18th December.

This simulation has been applied for a winter week and not for a summer week because the room units free running during winter (Fig. 6.3.2) which depends on the internal gains and external gains in order to heat the rooms, so it would be interesting in analysing the condition when the students are away thus reducing internal gains and what effects it would have on the rooms.

The graph (Fig. 6.5.2) illustrates the efficiency of the different rooms during a winter week when the students are away during the weekend. The outside temperature ranges between 1°C to 14°C. The average outside temperature is 9.05°C and the average temperature of A) B) C)

Single Room with kitchenette facing East – 19.30°C Double Room without kitchenette facing South – 19.36°C Couple Room with kitchenette facing north – 19.51°C

During the winter season, the solar gains are comparatively low. So in order to achieve a comfortable temperature the rooms need to be well insulated to prevent heat loss.

When the students are away, the internal heat gains are very minimum. From the graph we can understand that in spite of low internal gains, the rooms are still in comfort band because of good insulation which prevents heat loss.

When the students are away the temperature of the rooms drop to 18.5°C. But as soon as the students are back, the internal temperature rises to 21°C. From the graph we can observe that all the rooms neither overheats nor it drops lower than the comfort band at any point during the week when the students were away. The rooms are most of the time in comfort band during the week without any additional heating or cooling supply thus making it free running.

FUTURE ANNUAL THERMAL ANALYSIS FOR ROOMS AND COMMUNAL SPACES A future thermal analysis of the rooms and the common space has been tested. In this future scenario, the outside temperature has risen high by 2°C. This scenario has been tested in order to find out overheating issues in the future when the temperature rises. The common space and the couple room with kitchenette facing North has been considered for the simulation because of high internal gains these rooms have the tendency to heat up.

These rooms have double glazed window with a U- Value of 1.4 W/m2k (Fig. 6.6.1). The walls are 450mm thick with a U-Value of 0.197 W/m2k (Fig. 6.6.1).

All the rooms have an infiltration rate of 0.1ach.

For this annual thermal simulation of the student units, schedules have been defined below: In the student occupation schedule, the students are in the college/universities between 10am to 8pm during the weekdays and return back home. During weekends, the behaviour of the students are similar but instead of going to college they are usually visiting some places or studying in the common rooms (Appendix H Schedules of Thermal).

In the student occupation schedule, the common space usually gets crowded during the evening period after the college hours post 5pm. However, some students do occupy the space during the afternoon hours. During weekends, the common spaces are usually crowded from afternoon to night. (Appendix H Schedules of Thermal).

when the outside temperature is higher than the comfort band, the room tends to overheat a little. Looking at the future scenario, we can propose to add window shutters to control the internal temperature when the temperature rises in the future. During the winter period the internal temperature of the room tends to be in comfort zone without any additional heating.

In case of common room, the internal heat gains are high and receives moderate solar gains. When the outside temperature is higher than the comfort zone, the internal temperature of the common space tends to overheat. Looking at the future scenario, we can propose to add window shutters to control the internal temperature when the temperature rises in the future. During the winter period the internal temperature of the room tends to be in comfort zone without any additional heating.

No. of hours the outdoor temperature above comfort band annually = 134 Hours Out of those hours the temperature of the space above comfort band Couple Room = 109 Hours Common Room = 129 Hours During April when the students have gone for a vacation, the internal gains of the room and common space are almost zero except for the rooms where refrigerator have to be kept running throughout. During that period, the internal temperature of the north couple room drops down due to its north orientation receiving minimum solar gains. But if window shutters are applied during that period then the temperature of all rooms could be less affected.

From the graph we can observe that in future when the outside temperature rises, the room and the common space tends to overheat when the outside temperature rises above comfort zone. So it would be important that the application of window shutter can be proposed in order control the internal temperature. During winter, the operative temperature of these rooms are most of the time in comfort zone hence reducing the use of any additional heating supply.

From the thermal analysis (Chap. 6) we can have concluded that the common rooms and the room are free running and they do not require any additional heating requirements. Thus heating would be required if needed in other spaces like reception, offices and gym.

The difference between energy consumption of different cases is show in (Fig. 7.1.1.) As the UCL Prankerd House is an old building with weak air tightness. The heating consumption is the highest there. As for Chapter Living, the room have poor daylighting condition which results in the artificial daylighting all day long.

PV panels showed in Fig.7.2.1 are consumed as the most common size.

The green color represent for type 1 PV panel which is 70 in total, while type 2 is in blue color with 265 in total. The efficiency of the PV panel is assumed as 20%. The surface covered by PV panels is illustrated in Fig 7.2.1. The angle of the slope roof is defined according to the solar study.

Additional wall surface is also equipped with PV panel to enhance the generation. (http://brightstarsolar.net/2014/02/common-sizes-of-solar-panels/).

The calculation shows the Total Annualy Electricity Generated would be 107.88 mWh while the total annual electricity consumption 142.36 mWh, which mean 75.8% of the energy consumption can be covered.

Commonly, it would cost 190 pounds to 290 pounds per square meter.

Therefore the total cost in the proposal would be around 135,000 pounds. (http://www.theecoexperts.co.uk/how-much-do-solar-panelscost-uk)

PROPOSAL OF PUBLIC PROGRAM

Fig.8.1.1 shows the detail of the ground part of public program. The steps face the main road to attract people from outside to use the space. The whole grass slop performs as the continuation of the green walk and introduces the Peckham Library into our site. It activate the backside of the Peckham Library which solve the safety problem mentioned by the cleaner on site visit. The Café, as the extension of the library, offers people in the library a place to take a break for coffee. The plan of the café shows that the café is mainly separated as indoor and semi-outdoor parts.

The underground part goes reasonable depth (Appendix B Site Study: Comments & Condition) to achieve goal of response to the Peckham library. Different scenarios are showed in Fig.8.1.2 to suggest how the multifunction space may be used. The inner circle is sliding foldable door. When it is fully opened. The whole space can be used as gallery or theater or lecture hall according to the need. According to the new concept of theater performance which appeal to involving audiance. When it is closed, it creates 2 different kind of space, the inner space is daylit by the light well while the outer circle is artificially lit for exhibition. The movable seats (Fig.8.1.2) are offered to cater the need of more flexible usage.

SITE PLAN

Concrete Pavement

The proposed site plan incorporated with student accomodation blocks and the multipurpose theatre with cafe as public program is developed as described in the degin brief and proposal. A pedestrian access route to the bicyle and jogging track is linked from the accomodation plaza by a timber finish walkway (Fig. 9.1.2) to merge with the existing context materials of grass and trees.

The pedestrian access link starts/ends beside the exiting bus on the main street in the east.

The cafe in front of the library is linked with existing hardscape found around the library at the peckham platform. The cafe and multifunction theatre space also has a direct access from the main street in the east.

Amphitheatre like decking steps are developed on the green mound over the multipurpose theatre to attract people to enter the site from the main street.

The green landscape is extended into the site thus merging the clear outline of the site with the surrey canal walk landscape integrating it into one common landscape as seen in 3D visualisations. Other materials used for outdoor walkways and courtyard are show in the figure 9.1.2

CHAPTER 9 9. 3 Wind Study

m/s 8 7

WIND STUDY

It was observed (Fig. 9.3.1.) that the wind flow around the buildings was diverted towards the surrounding landscapes as the proposed public programme merges with existing landscape to form a continuity. The accelerated winds from neighbourhood housing community in the south west and west are slowed down as it hits the south block of student accomodation. Thereby, protecting the courtyard from extreme wind conditions but not stopping the flow completely through the courtyard.

During summer this flow of light breeze through the courtyard could be seen as a welcome change for outdoor activities when the surfaces are heated and the mean radiant temperatures can cause discomfort. Therefore the design and placement of the student accomodation blocks works in favour of the windflow. This allows good opportunity to use outdoor spaces such as the green mound above multipurpose theatre and the courtyard without causing any wind turbulance.

SHADOW STUDY

As seen in Fig. 9.4.1 the shadows casted by the accommodation blocks and the library are very long and overshadow the outdoor spaces during December. But as not many people prefer to use the outdoor spaces during December in London, the occupants have a choice to use the Peckham square platform during sunshine hours or the surrey canal landscape also.

While during the summer (Fig. 9.4.2) there are plenty of surfaces exposed to the sunlight and thus the occupants and even the outside pedestrians are encouraged to the use the courtyard and the green mound above the theatre where if they feel discomfort due to extreme solar radiation, they have the option to use the shadowed areas around the proposed building blocks and near library also.

It can also be seen in the perceptive view that the placement of accommodation blocks the site have not overshadowed the neighboring houses thus the design considerations height of the blocks are working in favor of the built environment.

CONCLUSION

This report presents a student accommodation design beside the Peckham Library with a specific research question about the overheating issue. It is concluded from the site analysis that a student accommodation could be an appropriate proposal for the site. Through the study of the comments from the neighbor and the user of Peckham Library, a public program which can activate the negative part to the back of library, simultaneously, make up the existing problem of the library and neighbor, is indispensable. In the aspect of the scale and material, the proposal totally respects the surrounding buildings to embed itself within its current and historic context.

Student accommodation Student accommodation is mainly divided into two parts: living units and communal space, including the indoors and outdoors. Different room types were offered to cater the need of different students. Based on deeply studied case study in London and interview with students from different student accommodations combined with the conclusion from term 1 project, overheating issue is defined as the major problem in student accommodation. Due to the lack of specific guide for student accommodation, the average energy consumption and the schedule of students from case study were used for simulation steps.

The difference of the internal heat gain between different room types, together with Mint calculation decided the main orientation of different rooms. The conventional room plan of student accommodation was improved to provide better living condition for students. As for indoor communal space, according to the different needs of daylighting, they were placed in different level and orientation.

The psychological factor of students was also taken into consideration, as most students mentioned in the interview that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s difficult to make friends in the huge block, which worsens the homesick. Hence, a group of blocks with small scale are proposed to enhance the sense of home and scale down the huge group of people in one block to make it easier to make friends. Additionally, it responded to the context.

From the thermal analysis, we can conclude that the most important spaces like the studios and the common spaces are free running throughout the year. Additional heating is required for the spaces like gym, reception and offices. For the future scenario we found that the common room and the north couple studio with high internal heat gains over heat during the summer period when the outdoor temperature rises above the comfort zone. For this situation in future it is highly recommended to use window shutters to prevent additional solar gains to enter. During the winter period in the future, these spaces are in the comfort band without the use of any additional heating devices.

The courtyard was designed to be the main outdoor space for occupants to make friends. It enclosed to be protected from the undesirable wind and form a respectively private space. The courtyard was divided by the pedestrian connection to define the different function zones.

Renewable energy like solar PV is equipped which was an important element to determine the roof angle. It is calculated that 75.8% of the energy consumption can be covered by the energy generated through PV panel.

Public program Public program is consist of the cafĂŠ and underground multifunction space which combined with the grass slope to maximize the landscape and enhance the setting of the Stirling Prize winning Peckham Library. In addition, it works as the extension of the library where some function and space is missed. The daylighting of underground space is offered by light well. Sliding foldable door is set to divide the space with different daylight needs and cater the needs of flexibility.

Outdoor study including shadow, wind and UTCI were done to confirm the comfort level, especially during the mild season which assumed to be the main period when people would like to have outdoor activities.

In order to avoid overheating, daylight factor was simulated to define the minimum window to floor ratio while keeping the criteria that the Daylight Factor of more than 80% of the daylit area can exceed 2%.

PERSONAL STATEMENT

Artem Oslamovskyi

Tingting Gao

Deep Gala

Naitik Patel

The Peckham Student Living has been a very interesting project that provide me an exciting experience both for the interesting context of the site, complexity of the proposal and the studying process itself. Our team worked as a single organism during the term and the process was pleasing for me. As it was a team studies we equally spread the project objectives among members. This process took naturally and I am happy with my task within the project.

For the primary study of the site, I mainly worked on the history of our site, comments from the neighbor and comments about Peckham Library which is an essential element we need to take into consideration. Through all the study, I was clear about the importance of our site for the neighbor as well as the existing problem. As we are required to take climate change into account, I got the weather data for Peckham history and future to conclude the potential issue. I also did the UTCI calculation for spot measurement and summarized our second site visit.

I would like to start by thanking all the tutors and lecturers for providing useful knowledge which helped us to develop a strong sense stratagem towards sustainability and towards this project. After reviewing the term 1 project UCL Prankerd House which provided us a great input for the current design project. Going in detail with the study helped us to understand various issues, policies which were involved while designing.

The term 2 learning outcome was concluded with integration of environmental design strategies learnt during the term 1 into architectural design proposal. By delving into more in-depth knowledge obtained during this term through various lectures and tutorials we were able to arrive at a design outcome. It was a very interesting experience for me as it involved intense team work and discussions. I would like to thank my team mates for being very helpful to me throughout the term.

In the beginning of the term, I worked on the site context analysis, preparing the 3D model, graphical schemes and giving the overview of the neighborhoods dignities and points of concern. For those proposes I used digimaps.ac.uk, google.maps and openstreetmap.org as a source of information and McNeel Rhino, Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Photoshop as presentational tools. After that, I optimized 3D model for the wind, solar and daylighting studies that performed further.

During the mid-term I worked on the design brief, creating the presentational schemes and infographic. As a part of the team, I participated in discussion related to the project and solving the problems during the process.

In digital simulations, I performed the solar study of the whole building, and daylight study of the living units, including the determination of the strategy and explanation of the results. For both simulations, I created optimized scripts that simplified the working process, also I performed the series of simulations using Galapagos component in Grasshopper plugin, which allowed us to define the optimal variables for the roof geometry.

At the end of the term I worked on visualizations, performing the renders in V-ray for Rhino and postproduction in Photoshop. In the energy strategy part, I calculated the PVs energy generation values, studied the pricing policies of the electrical grid companies and performed the energy balance diagrams.

2 90

With all the information, we decided to do student accommodation which was the same building type we did case study for term 1. Without specific guide for student accommodation, I summarize the main character of famous modern student accommodation precedent in London, as well as the comments from the occupants to get a comprehensive view about student accommodation. Going in detail, I did interviews with many classmates who live in student accommodation to get the schedule and energy consumption. The calculation offered the number that would be used for simulation. Such a deep study of occupants dramatically enhanced my understanding of student accommodation and clearly defined overheating as the main issue of student accommodation which became our main research question in this project.

In design process, I helped design the plan of different rooms and the organization of the whole proposal. I went in detail with the design of the public program to offer possibility for different functions. In terms of the technical work, I focused on the daylight factor simulation for communal space in accommodation part and the public program. Thanks to the practices, I am able to manipulate the simulation now.

The project is a good preparation for the final dissertation.

It helps me to practice how to use all the software to help with the design, which was the main confusion at the beginning. Our team worked well with each other with great team spirit. We learnt a lot from each other including how to deal with all the information, design strategy and updated concept of different things. We worked together to conquer the challenge step by step to successfully complete the project. What’s more, I learnt not only about professional knowledge, but also the different cultures and life experience. Especially through the interview with classmates, I realized how huge difference in lifestyle it can be in students come from different culture background.

I found the approach of the project brief quite interesting. It was also helpful that all the groups in the class had a same site and had to design something different depending on the various contexts. It not only created competition amongst all the groups but also provided different strategies which derived by every group based on similar site context.

Having UCL Prankerd House measured as our previous term project, it did provide us with a lot of data and inferences based on issues found earlier. It provided us with a base case for number of calculations and strategies.

The design approach was very interesting. The basic massing of the proposal was kept simple and was based on the performance of the living units. It was like an ‘Inside Out’ Strategy. And this strategy was the key factor to this project. All the design strategies were represented very clearly and graphically through various illustrations.

For the last term project, I had no opportunity to work on thermal analysis. Thus, for this project I had a chance to simulate the thermal analysis. I wasn’t able to grasp it in the beginning but with the help of the tutors and my teammates, I was able to perform the simulations without much difficulties. I was also able to map out the urban conditions of our site representing various site parameters.

Creating the Environmental Matrix was definitely helpful in order to focus on key issues. The orientation of the room based on the internal gains was used to define room typologies and a base for simulation.

This term we had a chance to work with new member. It was really a beneficial as we produced more amount of work than last term.

I would like to see this project guide me during the design dissertation phase. This project and this semester has improved my confidence regarding the academic work and my personal understanding regarding sustainability.

AA - SED | Msc + MArch 2016 - 2017

The technical studies I focused on during this was refining architectural design through trial and error of simulation based testing of daylight and solar studies. I was integrally involved with Artem Oslamvosky when he performed daylight and solar study simulations to directly adopt the design decisions formed by the studies. Planning and designing the accommodation blocks and units took up my major second half of the term, trying to learn thermal studies with deep gala along the way.

I was particularly interested in designing the building architecturally keeping in mind the smallest changes in room area or window to floor ratio could radically alter the outcome of thermal and daylighting comfort. Furthermore I was involved in detail modelling of the building blocks which was used for simulations and presentations. This process allowed me to be involved with all the team members during all the design stages.

For further technical studies I would like to study in detail about thermal comfort as in term 1 i was responsible to daylighting studies.

In the existing site conditions it can be observerd from the figure that the accelerated winds from the west through the neighbourhood spreads out to the open area around the library and the deatched house creating a lot of turbulence and possibility of dicomfort situations due to the drop in temperature resulting from the turbulent winds.

Therefore while proposing buildings on site one must consider the wind factor and to protect the pedestrians and building occupants from sudden gusts of winds. Also orienting the buildings on north-south axis could create pressure differences on windows facing west and east thus providing opportunities for natural ventilation through cross ventilating in the buildings.

SHADOW STUDY

The shadow range casted on exiting site shows that during winter the north and north east corner of the site is not overshadowed thus providing possiblities for placing outdoor activities or a building block the that corner.

Also during the summer it is seen that the north-east corner becomes a shadowed surface providing opportunities for using outdoor activities such as sports and games that causes internal body heat gains thus using the corner as a place of relief from extreme solar radiation also.

The site conditions are quite challenging and favourable at the same time to consider design options exploring different orientations.
