Welborne Garden Village

Welborne Garden Village

Welborne Garden Village is a development of 6,000 beautiful homes with accessible green spaces, sustainable energy, nurseries, schools, shops, leisure facility and technology park.

In relation to the new village centre, comprehensive energy and sustainability advice was provided. This area of the development encompasses a diverse range of commercial units, including a hotel, pub, restaurants, a bakery, and a doctor's surgery. Additionally, the village centre will offer a mix of residential options, comprising both houses and apartments. The sustainability consultancy ensured that these components were designed with environmental considerations in mind, promoting energy efficiency, resource conservation, and a high quality of life for future residents.

A key element of the Energy Strategy is the water source heat pump system, which is the largest of its kind in the UK. This network extracts water from Portsmouth Water's underground Hoads Hill Reservoir, offering significantly greater efficiency compared to air source heat pumps due to the reservoir's more stable and higher average temperature.

Conducting overheating analysis using Dynamic Thermal Modelling (DTM) is a crucial step prior to planning. Whilst this has been a consideration within London for major developments for many years, the impact of the implementation of this policy is now nationwide.

Whilst a simplified approach is possible, this may not always suit bespoke designs which incorporate large quantities of glazing, and can in some cases be restrictive to the overall design process. Dynamic modelling provides a precise evaluation of overheating risk, generating customised results and recommendations for compliance.

Referencing CIBSE TM59 methodology, Building Regulations Part O incorporates other considerations which need to be balanced within the buildings overall design including security, safety, and any mechanical ventilation system.

The DTM process reviews building materials, thermal mass, local shading, local weather data, building occupancy, and employs approaches to limit solar gains and eliminate excess heat.

Our experienced overheating modellers assist developers in completing comprehensive assessments, offering specialised guidance to comply with new Building Regulations and London Plan policy.

We’ll support you to:

  • Assess and mitigate overheating risk
  • Understand associated costs
  • Develop coordinated solutions
  • Deliver comfortable, energy-efficient spaces

For domestic buildings throughout the UK, SAP calculations are imperative. These assessments guarantee adherence to Part L of the building regulations (AD-L) in England and Wales and Section 6 of the Technical Handbooks in Scotland.

Our SAP assessors not only assist developers in ensuring compliance but also contribute to enhancing energy performance, reducing costs, and improving feasibility throughout the design process.

Our team of specialists provides expert guidance to:

  • Evaluate energy and carbon performance
  • Identify opportunities for design improvement
  • Comprehend the impact on design decisions and costs
  • Fulfil regulatory requirements
  • Substantiate environmental credentials

SBEM is the standardised process which assesses all non-residential building for compliance with Building Regulations Part L. This is applicable to all new and refurbished/extended buildings to ensure that emissions and energy use are not excessive. 

Fully fitted or shell and core, our qualified Level 5 assessors are here to help you gain compliance for your building.
