Opened in 2014. 90% materials used for construction were diverted from the bottom of the waste hierarchy. Cross-sector collaboration between University of Brighton, City College, Mears Group, Freegle with 350 volunteers and students. Why build out of waste? Construction and operation of buildings consumes 60% of all materials, results in 33% of all waste and accounts for 45% of CO2eq emissions in the UK.

  • 2016 Have Been Chosen
    It’s Official - Votes are in, these People Make our City a Happier Place Welcome to the second Brighton and Hove Happy List, part of a national network of lists that recognise people who bring smiles and cheer to their community every day. Happy Lists were born out of a need to provide an antidote to those rich lists and celebrity lists which worship at the shrine of the wealthy the bonus-getters and the tax avoiders. This list honours a different set of values and recognises those who work to make their communities better adjusted places, leading to their cities and thus countries becoming better and happier places too. Nominations have been made and the men and women who are Brighton & Hove’s Happiness champions for 2016 have been chosen. Read on to meet them… This list has been created in association with Action for Happiness, Happy City Initiative, The Argus, Sunday Assembly Brighton and Bailey & French. Champions are listed in no particular order. Jeannie Hignell, Fitness Trainer With two nominations - Jeannie is a fitness trainer - but no ordinary fitness trainer! She is inspired by people for whom health and wellbeing is often a huge challenge. She considers the needs of the whole person, supporting and encouraging them towards physical and mental wellbeing. She goes out of her way to help people feel the best they can, no matter what life demands of them. By creating a hugely positive community around her work, her clients support each other, celebrating one another’s achievements and contributing to a wider network of happy, positive people.

  • Sustainability Action Plan
    Brighton & Hove’s Sustainability Action Plan Forewords If everyone on the planet used the same amount of resources as we do in Brighton & Hove, we’d need three and a half Earths to keep going. It’s just not sustainable for us or anyone else on the planet to go on at this rate. One Planet Living is a clear set of ten sustainability principles put together by the organisations BioRegional and the Worldwide Fund for Nature, which set out how we can live and work within a fair share of our planet’s resources. Many of the environmental principles are familiar - such as reducing waste, energy efficiency, supporting wildlife and creating more a sustainable transport system. Much progress has been made in these areas over the last few years, and they’re widely recognised as goals we want to achieve for everyone’s benefit. However One Planet Living also incorporates social and economic sustainability - such as sustainable materials, local food, water use, culture and community, equity and the local economy, and health and happiness. It’s a clear framework that we can use to build on the progress that’s already been made towards sustainability - and use to set out ambitious goals to go even further. This sustainability action plan outlines how we will use One Planet Living to meet two of the council’s key priorities - creating a more sustainable city and modernising the council. It’s a challenging time for the public sector, but we’re not going it alone. Our partners in the city are working with us to shape a ‘One Planet City’.

  • Brighton and Hove City Council Renewable And
    BRIGHTON AND HOVE CITY COUNCIL RENEWABLE AND SUSTAINABLE ENERGY STUDY STAKEHOLDER WORKSHOP – 26th March 2013 “... a great opportunity to help shape the future of sustainable energy in Brighton & Hove.” 1. Overview 1.1 Background Brighton & Hove City Council commissioned Environmental Consultants AECOM to produce a renewable and sustainable energy study for the city for the period to 2030. The study is the most thorough investigation ever undertaken into renewable and sustainable energy generation potential and carbon reduction in buildings in the city. The primary purpose of the study is to investigate the potential for delivering local carbon reductions relating to buildings in Brighton and Hove and to provide an evidence base to support carbon reduction projects and policy. The study has three focus areas: Low and zero carbon energy generation identifying opportunity areas for low and zero carbon energy technologies and testing theviability of heat networks; New buildings projecting emissions from new development over the period of the City Plan and testing draft City Plan policies relating to carbon reduction; Existing buildings investigating the potential for energy efficiency measures and microgeneration in existing buildings. The council is consulting on the findings of the study in order to prioritise action. A series of workshops are being held in the spring of 2013 to prioritise key actions and projects to take forward in the city. The workshops include: Key council officers March 1st 2013 City Stakeholders March 26th 2013 Elected Councillors May 1st 2013 Outcomes of the workshops will inform the Zero Carbon work for Brighton & Hove’s One Planet Living Plan.

  • City Sustainability Action Plan
    City Sustainability Action Plan Introduction This Action Plan presents a broad set of actions and initiatives that support sustainability and that are being delivered by the council, city partners and individuals across the city. Individually these actions represent the breadth of ambition and activity in the city and collectively they inform a plan that supports the broader sustainability goals of the council and city, and forms the sustainability framework for the wider Biosphere region.

The One Planet approach aims to create a future where it’s easy, attractive and affordable for all of us to lead happy and healthy lives, using a fair share of the earth’s resources. In the Plan, this is translated into actions that deliver across ten One Planet Principles of sustainability. Zero carbon Making buildings more energy efficient and delivering all energy with renewable technologies Zero waste Reducing waste arisings, reusing where possible, and ultimately sending zero waste to landfill Sustainable transport Encouraging low carbon modes of transport to reduce emissions, reducing the need to travel Sustainable materials Using sustainable products that have a low embodied energy Local and sustainable food Choosing low impact, local, seasonal and organic diets and reducing food waste Sustainable water Using water more efficiently in buildings and in the products we buy; tackling local flooding and water course pollution Land
