Bicester
Description: This site provided a unique opportunity to improve our knowledge and expertise of eco-friendly technology as the client wanted to achieve an ‘excellent’ eco rating for this social housing project.
We were able to become involved with a number of cutting edge innovations, including rain water harvesting, a polystyrene block flooring system and solar panels linked to specialised ventilation equipment.
Other features included under floor heating, and a selection of specially chosen building materials which meet the strict ozone depletion levels demanded on this build.
The basic building elements were traditional brick and block work reaching a low U value, and built to the latest robust detail to meet the requirements of approved document E.
