CARBON CHAMPION OF THE YEAR

Performance Awards 2013 Improved performance brings economic benefits, not just to owners and operators but to the wider economy. Since our buildings use nearly half our energy, this should be a matter of national priority. It’s even more critical as this is an age of increasing uncertainty about the supply and security of energy – Ofgem predicts that by 2015-16 there will be just a 4% margin in installed UK capacity.

Energy will need to be closely managed just to get our buildings and energy systems to work in a tough world. Energy management is not just controlling what you have, but, through control, finding where you can invest to work more efficiently. That’s why CIBSE supports benchmarking so we can learn from performance data; we want the best performers to power ahead and bring the others along with them.

The Building Performance Awards showcase the exemplar products, people and projects leading the way in innovation and engineering excellence. These projects show us what can be achieved and raise the bar of best practice for all of us in the industry.

Tonight we celebrate success and acknowledge the achievements of our peers, but it is crucial that the impact of these Awards continues beyond this evening. CIBSE will be showcasing the projects at Ecobuild and throughout the year in the CIBSE Journal. Innovation and excellence must be shared and promoted in order to raise standards across the built environment. Building performance is at the heart of everything that CIBSE does and these successes should be shouted from the rooftops.

For tonight, though, let us celebrate the best our industry has to offer and congratulate the winners and nominees for their outstanding accomplishments. I hope that you enjoyed the evening and that it provides inspiration for the year ahead.

ENERGY-USING PRODUCT OF THE YEAR

WINNER Lighting Platform – Redwood Systems » Commercial buildings account for

approximately 17% of all electricity consumed in the UK, with lighting accounting for an average of 25% of that load

» Few companies have adopted the types of lighting control systems that can reduce their carbon footprint and save money, largely because traditional technologies are limited in their capabilities and are costly and time-consuming to install.

“Redwood Systems' lighting product caught the judges' attention for its overall design, energy-efficient application of lighting control and good performance data” JUDGES’ COMMENTS

Redwood Systems has invented an entirely new way to power and control commercial lighting that converts AC power to safe, efficient DC power, resulting in best-in-class energy savings averaging 75%, dramatically lower installation costs, and a constant stream of strategic data on space utilisation for facility professionals. Redwood’s technology addresses a building’s overall performance through its fine-grained sensor technology that provides detailed occupancy and temperature data used for heating, ventilation and air-conditioning control, optimisation of space, and even security and

Other benefits include precise measurement and validation of power; contribution to sustainability credits; dramatically lower installation costs (typically 35% to 50%); and an integrated building intelligence system, including a sensor measuring light levels, occupancy, motion and temperature at each light fixture; reduced lighting maintenance costs; and reducing heating load.

Redwood’s clients include Facebook, Volkswagen, Microsoft and Google, and it recently entered the European market after developing a new Redwood Engine compatible with European voltages and light fittings.

The product received the CE mark for meeting European safety standards related to telecommunications and lighting.

CMR AIR VOLUME MEASUREMENT Accurate and repeatable air volume sensors

PASSIVE (ENERGY RELATED) PRODUCT OF THE YEAR

WINNER Aerogel Solar Collector - Buro Happold and Brunel University in CMR Stainless Veloprobes

Oval Flow Probe for Silencer

Venturi Duct Volume Station

Oval Flow Probes for Silencers are used substantially in Air Handling Unit Applications. The Probes are supplied individually and each silencer air passage way can be fitted with a probe either from external or internal. The probes are made to measure and all brackets are supplied. The Oval Flow Probes are better in performance than a flow grid as the airflow is already straightened by the pods and procuces an air volume measurement in m3/s, m3/s or l/s.

The Veloprobes are the most used duct velocity sensors and work in conjunction with all CMR P- V- VP-Sensors and DPM Velocity Transmitter. To install the Veloprobes, drill 4 holes into the existing duct work and fix them with flanges and turn them to suit the flow, connect the red and blue PVC tube. Enter duct dimensions, density and m-factor into the transmitter and the air volume is measured and displayed.

The CMR Venturi air volume measurement stations are manufactured in standard duct sizes from 100mm to 500mmØ and are all pre-calibrated at the factory. Each size has a published m-factor and any CMR Transmitter can convert the velocity pressure directly into an accurate linear volume flow. The duct venturis are used in small or large scale industrial and commercial applications.

collaboration with Nuaire Ltd, Xtralite Ltd and Permarock Products Ltd

» The Aerogel Solar Collector is a flat-plate

solar air heater incorporating translucent granular aerogel insulation in the cover, designed to improve the efficiency of heat recovery systems in Passivhaus refurbishments

» This prototype is the UK’s first

solar air collector installation incorporating translucent granular aerogel insulation in the cover.

Aerogel is a unique, nanoporous translucent insulation material with the best insulating properties of any solid. It effectively blocks heat transfer by convection, conduction and longwave thermal radiation. Meanwhile, it is highly transparent to light and short-wave solar radiation, making it an ideal material to incorporate into the cover of high-performance solar collectors. Compared to conventional single or double-glazed collectors, the heat losses through an aerogel cover will be significantly reduced, providing higher operational efficiencies, particularly at low ambient temperatures during the peak heating season.

This prototype was designed and installed as part of a collaborative effort. Detailed development was led

by Dr Mark Dowson – an engineering doctorate researcher sponsored by Brunel University and Buro Happold

» www.cibseawards.org

– working with Nuaire Ltd, Permarock Products Ltd and Xtralite Ltd. The refurbishment team included Buro Happold, Fraser Brown Mackenna Architects, Martin-Arnold Associates, Gallions Housing Association and Axis Europe contractors. Monitoring equipment was installed by BSRIA and MD Electrical.

“The winning product is a well-researched and novel solar collector delivering an important contribution to very energy-efficient homes”

JUDGES’ COMMENTS

A full-scale prototype was successfully installed on a 1960s end-terrace house in south-east London as part of the Technology Strategy Board’s Retrofit for the Future competition.

In situ testing has found that during cold, sunny conditions, peak outlet temperatures up to 45°C were observed, preheating the dwelling’s fresh air supply up to 30°C and

facilitating internal temperatures of 21-22°C without auxiliary heating.

The predicted financial and embodied CO2 payback for a range of cover thicknesses is seven to 13 years and zero to one years, respectively.

Efficiency up to 60% and a financial payback period as low as 4.5 years is possible through an optimised design.

» Colaiste Choilm, Tullamore –

The kitchen supply and extract system has been completely redesigned with a runaround coil heat recovery system with an efficiency of 50%. Heat induction equipment, as opposed to gas, produces less heat during cooking and prevents the room from overheating.

The school was designed to Passivhaus standard within the allocated local authority budget.

With no additional funds available for specific low-carbon and energyefficiency measures, this required a high degree of innovation in maintaining a high level of architectural quality while removing unnecessary complexities, ensuring that through each step of the design process, the building would ultimately do the hard work of achieving low-energy running costs and eliminating the need for expensive add-ons as energy reducing measures.

The project was launched as a PFI competition in 2007, with work commencing on-site in January 2010 and completing in January 2012. Once it became clear that the initial target of BREEAM Excellent could be exceeded, the team pulled together to achieve an Outstanding rating – the first building of this kind in the country to do so and the highest score ever for a public library.

A passive design approach was undertaken, focusing on daylight, natural ventilation and using the building fabric for conditioning. The use of biomass heating and river cooling helped to exceed a 50% reduction in carbon emissions on the 2006 Part L building regulations target. The distinctive roof cones, emblematic of the nearby Malvern

» www.cibseawards.org

Hills, form a key element of the environmental strategy, introducing daylight deep into the plan of the building and also exhaust warm air, while the acoustic strategy was developed to provide different learning environments, from the children’s library at one end to quiet study zones at the other.

Cooling is delivered to the majority of spaces from pipework embedded in the concrete soffits, helping to enhance the thermal mass and radiant cooling effect. This approach uses a large surface area, so it requires water that is only slightly cooler than ambient conditions. For much of the year, this is supplied using direct heat exchange with water from the River Severn when the river temperature is below 14°C.

» Two buildings on its Darlington

campus had been experiencing mechanical heating, ventilation and air-conditioning (HVAC) failures in recent years, and the system also contained R22 coolant which is being gradually phased out.

Extending over five floors and 8,500 sq m, the two buildings are used for offices and a call centre by more than 1,000 EE staff.

EE commissioned Norland to undertake a £1.5m project to remove the existing HVAC system and replace it with a new solution, upgrading the lighting to bring it up to standard and replace the ceilings throughout. At the same time, the passenger and goods lifts were to be replaced, a new AV/video conferencing suite created, and the two buildings fully decorated.

Despite requiring considerable planning, the phased implementation was designed and procured in under three months,

Use of the internet and a blog ensured that staff were communicated with effectively and efficiently. Soft landings principles were employed which allowed for a full programme of post-occupancy evaluation. Full training and handover was given through close-out and training sessions with the on-site team, regular walkrounds, review meetings, additional and refresher training, and encouraging feedback from the client and building users.

The project was completed on time, on budget and to the complete satisfaction of the client. This was the result of very detailed planning and programming by Norland, with a project that was superbly delivered to provide an upgrade to the buildings which is valued by the client and its staff alike.

Setting new standards: with solutions from Imtech Recognise potential – streamline operations

CLIENT OF THE YEAR

The Complete

The new Imtech Arena is just the beginning. Our experts have examined many existing stadia and determined that energy savings of 15 to 35% are possible. In an energy-intensive object such as a stadium that means, in addition to significantly lower energy costs, there is a significant saving in CO2 emissions.

Potential for other structures What works for stadia is, of course, possible for other types of buildings. Similar savings can be achieved in industrial estates, commercial and public buildings for example.

Example of a measure to increase efficiency: "Raumtalk"

Raumtalk (Room talk) is a product developed by Imtech for usage-based delivery of energy. Using it all systems – lighting, heating and ventilation – are connected together and centrally controlled. So, for example, during the times when there are no matches being played, the lighting can be turned off and the heating switched to saving mode all through a single mouse click. Predefined settings are also possible – e.g. day and night settings, football or concert event modes. With Raumtalk only the areas that are actually being used are put into operation. This centralized switching of consumer loads produces significant energy savings.

Technical Services Provider

Following a comprehensive analysis of the actual consumption of electricity, water, heating and air-conditioning we can use our forecasting tools to reliably calculate the savings potential.

Depending on the desired return on investment, we are then able to create an individual concept, and to guarantee a significant saving in your net costs.

Savings in the Imtech Arena: approximately 1,790 MWh per year approximately 961 tonnes of CO2 per year

challenging target of 25% reduction in relative emissions by 2015, rising to 50% by 2020, as well as introducing a target of 10% reduction within its supply chain, and in late 2011 achieved its first ISO50001 accredited management system.

Whitbread’s strategy is to make sure that existing hotels are refurbished to enhance their energy efficiency and new hotels are built to the highest sustainable standards. The £7.5m Premier Inn hotel and Brewers Fayre restaurant at Barry, South Wales, which opened in October 2012, became the latest Whitbread development to be awarded BREEAM Excellent.

Innovations include the use of an

The Barry development builds on learnings from older developments such as Burgess Hill, a BREEAM Excellent site. There, a target of 70% reduction in energy in the restaurant was achieved through measures such as the use of induction hobs, high-efficiency fryers and energy-efficient dishwashers.

In April 2012 Whitbread won a Technology Strategy Board competition to investigate the disconnect between design, construction and operation. Already the project is providing valuable insights into how the company manages its existing estate of more than 600 hotels and 400 restaurants. For example, fryers are no longer used for its breakfast offering; making this practice standard across more than 550 kitchens could save over 5,500kWh a day.

The study has also highlighted that reception areas now consume up to 30% of the hotels’ total energy; these are now being redesigned accordingly.

WINNER british land » Since 2009, British Land has achieved

energy cost savings for its occupiers of £1.6m – around half through more rigorous management, made possible by the extensive sub-metering system and optimisation process piloted at its head office and subsequently rolled out elsewhere, at a cost of around £1m

»

In addition, about £475,000 of investment in lighting replacement programmes and other initiatives with payback periods of three years or less have achieved further reductions.

British Land also works with office occupiers to support their own energy reduction initiatives through green building management groups in each property. It is also funding ongoing energy monitoring services for around 20 office occupiers, providing halfhourly data to give visibility on out-of-hours lighting use and small power demand in occupiers’ premises.
