Sustainable Building Special Supplement

Sustainable Building looks at the whole question of Sustainability and how in a very short time it has become deeply embedded in the psche of today’s designers, planners and specifiers. In each supplement we will investigate the following areas, legislation, the manufacturing process and the application of products. We will feature a range of projects both in refurbishment and new build and investigate their performance credentials.

Commentators from across the industry are recognising that by fully embracing sustainable design we will not only improve the environmental and living standards of our own population but also put ourselves in a prime position to dominate an ever interested international market.

1. Legislation
Buildings have to satisfy a growing range of requirements: the Code for Sustainable Homes, BREEAM, increasingly strict and changing building regulations, and specific guidance, such as the Mayor of London’s requirements. How can the construction industry satisfy all these requirements, both in terms of the design of buildings, and the components used?

- Code for sustainable homes
- Breeam, A+ ratings, specification guidance
- Changes & upgrades to the building regulations
- Specific guidance – eg Mayor of London

 

2. The Manufacturing Process (Sustainable Manufacturers)
There is increasing interest from specifiers and some regulatory and client bodies about not only the performance of products but also their provenance. The concept of a ‘cradle to grave’ performance is being replaced by ‘cradle to cradle’, taking a product from the first extraction of materials through use to its eventual re-uses. Questions to be answered include: What is the embodied energy/ carbon footprint? How easily and effectively can it be recycled? How green/ non-polluting are the components? Is the manufacturer doing any carbon offsetting?

 

Carbon footprint
Recycling process
Embodied energy
Cradle to cradle design of products
Environmental impact of products

 

3. Products in Application
It is essential that products be not only fit for their ever more demanding requirements, but that they can be assembled easily and effectively. These sections will cover both the performance of everyday’ products such as windows, flooring and roofing, and also specifically green products such as heat pumps, green roofing products and heat storage systems, and products involved in the supply of renewables and sustainable energy.

 

- Energy savings / Thermal performance heating and energy efficiency
- Renewables and sustainable energy
- Life cycle of products
- Materials, testing and certification.
- Good detailing

Sustainable Building Specification magazine will run as a special supplement to Specification magazine. Published in January & June in 2011 the supplement will be sent out to the full ABC audited 18350 print circulation of Specification magazine. It will also be produced as a stand alone digital magazine and emailed out to over 16185 specifiers who have either been identified as working on a live Sustainable project or have specified that they wish to receive the publication in this format.
