  • Sustainable Districts ADEME1 Bedzed
    1. BedZed (Sutton - UK) Project description BedZED (Beddington Zero Energy Aerial view of BedZED, credit Bill Dunster Architect Development) is the UK's first and largest carbon-neutral eco-community and is located in Sutton, a residential town 40 minutes South East from London. BedZED consists of 82 residential homes with a mixture of tenures – 34 for outright sale, 23 for shared ownership, 10 for key workers and 15 at affordable rent for social housing – and 1'600 square metres of work space, an onsite shop, café, sport facilities, health centre and childcare facilities with a further 14 galleried apartments for outright sale. Residents have been living at BedZED since March 2002 and currently BedZed is home to 220 residents. The BedZED design concept was driven by the desire to create a net 'zero fossil energy development', one that will produce at least as much energy from renewable sources as it consumes. Only energy from renewable sources is used to meet the energy needs of BedZED the development is therefore a carbon neutral development - resulting in no net addition of carbon dioxide to the atmosphere. Objectives The project aims and objectives are: • No use of fossil fuels • 50% reduction of the energies used for transport • 60% reduction of the domestic energy compared to the average British households • 90% reduction of the heating needs • Usage of renewable energies • 30% reduction of water consumption • Reduce waste and encourage recycling • Use construction materials from local providers (located whithin less than a 60 km radius) • Development of local resources (farmer network for local food) • Develop biodiversity in the natural areas Driving factors The main driving factor of the BedZed project was environmental .

  • LESSONS LEARNED from the BEDZED DEVELOPMENT Janet
    TOWARDS ZERO ENERGY BUILDINGS: LESSONS LEARNED FROM THE BEDZED DEVELOPMENT Janet Young The Bartlett School of Graduate Studies University College London A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University College London September 2015 1 Declaration I, Janet YOUNG, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. 2 Abstract In order for the UK to meet carbon reduction targets and increased demand for housing from a growing population, houses need to be built that use less energy. Designers have responded by designing low energy buildings but little research has been undertaken on the actual performance of such buildings in use. This study compares the performance in use of 24 dwellings at the Beddington Zero Energy Development (BedZED) designed as a zero energy development. A unique feature is that, for the first time in energy monitoring studies, measurement of dwelling performance in use was undertaken both in the newly built dwellings and dwellings occupied previously by the study's participants. The results show that the dwellings achieved their design temperature during the heating season and that occupants were generally satisfied with winter comfort levels. Energy usage was lower in the new properties than previous dwellings and lower than comparable new dwellings at the time, broadly achieving the Passivhaus standard. The dwellings achieved a good standard of airtightness although there were some reports of condensation. Internal temperatures in the summer months showed a potential to overheat during hot spells and occupants were less satisfied with summer comfort.

A case study at Serenbe, in north Georgia, is going to be evaluated to promote its sustainable measures toward NZC.

The existing communities are assessed in the power, building, and transportation sectors (PBT). The outcome will be an effective Model achieving NZC, through promoting major sustain- able measures including agriculture, transportation network, density, housing typology, use of renewable energy, mixes of use, pedestrian and biking route, and land preservation.

The Lodge is a Victorian property dating from c1841, with an unusual shape and terracotta finials. Having been vacant for a number of years the property is in an advanced state of dilapidation. Due to its local historical value, being the last remaining property of the Culvers Estate, ‘there is significant local interest to see it retained. Friends of Culvers Lodge secured local listing status for the building and approached Wandle Valley Regional Park Trust (WVRPT) to secure funding and oversee a feasibility study of the site, to establish the viability and sustainability of retaining the site for community benefit. Heritage Lottery Funding was secured to explore the proposal further and a project steering group made up of four local residents, London Borough of Sutton officers and WVRPT was created to oversee the project. Local statistics reveal the area is predominately middle income young families. In the immediate area the Lodge neighbours a primary school and is in close proximity to the Wandle River and two community spaces that have rooms for hire. Local shops and train station are 0.3 mile away. Relevant local plans include ‘Sustainable Hackbridge’ with the area identified as Sutton’s flagship for One Planet Living, expansion of Hackbridge Primary School, Hackbridge becoming a district centre with increased housing and employment space, including the redevelopment of the Felnex industrial site.
