| 説明 | Bridgefoot StreetThe redevelopment of Bridgefoot Street involves the removal of two of five blocks of flats, the refurbishment and upgrade of the remaining three south facing blocks (97 flats), enlargement of the units, and extensive provision of new-build housing.The flats were constructed in the 1960s and major refurbishment was considered necessary, as the fabric of the buildings had deteriorated significantly, in particular the windows, roof and concrete works.Refurbishment was considered in the context of several priorities: 1. Reduction of greenhouse gases 2. Combating fuel poverty 3. Preservation of housing stock.The performance of the refurbished buildings relative to their original performance: * Fuel Costs: 52% reduction * Energy Usage:91% reduction * CO2 emissions: 95% reductionSite planning and design features * Integrated site planning for area regeneration * Orientation optimized for solar gain * Compact built form to minimise heat loss surfaces * Enclosed balconies to reduce exposed floors/ceiling areasEnergy Technology Specifications: * Fabric elements with U-values reduced by a factor of 3 * High specification CFC & HCHC free insulation * Low U-value windows * Efficient natural gas boilers to minimise CO2 per kW * Low-flush 6 litre toilets for water conservationThe energy features of the refurbishment project was rewarded a grant through the House of Tomorrow Programme, which is funded by the National Development Plan and is managed by Sustainable Energy Ireland. Codema co-ordinated this House of Tomorrow project on behalf of Dublin City Council. |
