<p>Andrea Charlson: </p> <hr /> <div>= Introduction =<br /> <br /> The Carbon Takeback Obligation (CTBO) is an initiative that requires producers and importers of fossil fuels to develop methods to store a portion of the CO2 created by their activities. This proportion will increase over time. The purpose is to provide incentives for producers to keep CO2 permanently out of the atmosphere. The commitments by producers to CTBO are voluntary.<br /> <br /> = Holding producers accountable for CO2 =<br /> <br /> The CTBO policy initiative was introduced by the report ‘[https://uploads-ssl.webflow.com/5f3afd763fbfb08ae798fbd7/60336e65ccc97506f7fc4036_CTBO_Final_Report_Jan_2021_Complete.pdf Carbon Takeback Obligation - A Producer Responsibility Scheme on the Way to a Climate Neutral Energy System]’, published in January 2021 and written by Margriet Kuijper Consultancy, De Gemeynt and Royal HaskoningDHV.<br /> <br /> According to Margriet Kuijper, project leader of the study: &amp;quot;A CTBO stipulates that the net CO2 emissions from this inevitable use of fossil fuels will go to zero in a timely manner&amp;quot;.<br /> <br /> CTBO is similar to incentives that have been adopted in other areas of production, where manufacturers are given the physical and financial responsibility of managing the disposal of products that contain substances that are considered harmful to human health and the environment.<br /> <br /> = CTBO and other initiatives =<br /> <br /> It is believed that the CTBO could be paired with the Government policy of Contracts for Difference (CfDs) to produce a marketplace where companies could trade certificates of storage. It is believed that the outcome of this partnership would encourage the development of carbon capture and storage (CCS) technologies as companies are given incentives to seek to lower their costs associated with the CTBO, and could see the UK becoming a world leader in carbon trading.<br /> <br /> The report explains, &amp;quot; A CTBO will generate an incentive supplementary to the effect of the emissions trading system (ETS). Businesses and sectors subject to this system are required to purchase and pay for emission rights. CCS will reduce their emissions, which means they will need fewer rights. However, they will incur expenses for CO2 capture and storage. A CTBO will create a demand for CO2 (and thus put a price on CO2) because producers and importers of fossil carbon compounds will need to reserve CO2 to be stored (CSUs). Thus, the CTBO and ETS schemes can be enforced alongside one another (as can other instruments, for that matter).&amp;quot;<br /> <br /> As of 2021, CTBO is in the recommendation stage.<br /> <br /> = Related articles on Designing Buildings Wiki =<br /> <br /> * Aligning net zero with the levelling-up agenda.<br /> * Carbon capture and storage.<br /> * Contracts for Difference.<br /> * Decarbonise.<br /> * Using CO2 to make construction products and materials.<br /> * Zero Carbon by 2050 - pipe dream or possibility?<br /> <br /> = External resources =<br /> <br /> * Margriet Kuijper Consultancy, De Gemeynt and Royal HaskoningDHV, [https://uploads-ssl.webflow.com/5f3afd763fbfb08ae798fbd7/60336e65ccc97506f7fc4036_CTBO_Final_Report_Jan_2021_Complete.pdf Carbon Takeback Obligation - A Producer Responsibility Scheme on the Way to a Climate Neutral Energy System].<br /> <br /> [[Category:DCN_News]] [[Category:DCN_Policy]] [[Category:DCN_Report]] [[Category:Definitions]] [[Category:News]] [[Category:Publications_/_reports]] [[Category:Policy]] [[Category:Sustainability]] [[Category:Products_/_components]]</div>

Andrea Charlson https://www.designingbuildings.co.uk/wiki/Air_conditioning 2021-06-30T11:00:27Z

<p>Andrea Charlson: </p> <hr /> <div>= Definition =<br /> <br /> Use of the term ‘air conditioning’ (AC) can be confusing.<br /> <br /> In some of the strictest definitions, air conditioning is used to describe systems that control the moisture content of air, that is, its humidity. This can include humidification and dehumidification. Humidity control can be important for; the comfort of building occupants, to reduce the incidence of condensation (both surface and interstitial), for specialist environments such as swimming pools, and where the protection of sensitive items requires particular conditions.<br /> <br /> However, dehumidification of air is generally achieved by cooling. As the temperature of air falls, it is less able to 'hold' moisture, that is, saturation water vapour density falls, and so relative humidity rises. When relative humidity reaches 100%, the air will be saturated. This is described as the 'dew point'. If the air continues to cool, moisture will begin to condense, dehumidifying the air.<br /> <br /> This means that humidity control and cooling are often considered together as ‘air conditioning’. Cooling and dehumidification are important contributors to thermal comfort. This is because the ability to perspire, and so to lose heat by evaporation from the skin, is limited by the humidity of the air.<br /> <br /> As a result, remaining cool is dependent on both temperature and humidity (as well as a number of other factors, see Thermal comfort for more information). A combination of reduced air temperature, and reduced humidity helps people to remain cool.<br /> <br /> The cooling of air alone, often described as ‘air conditioning’ is more correctly referred to as ‘comfort cooling’. However, because it cools the air, comfort cooling may include some incidental dehumidification.<br /> <br /> Other definitions of air conditioning describe it as the process of conditioning supply air to:<br /> <br /> * Regulate its humidity.<br /> * Regulate its quality (through filtration).<br /> * Regulate its temperature.<br /> <br /> CIBSE Guide B. Heating, Ventilating, Air Conditioning and Refrigeration suggests that:<br /> <br /> ‘Air conditioning involves full control over the humidity within the conditioned space as well as temperature control.’ CIBSE suggest that 'close control air conditioning' might be defined as the control of temperature to within 1°K and relative humidity to within 10%. This requires a complex process of dehumidification and cooling, reheating and humidification.<br /> <br /> The Department for Communities and Local Government (CLG) guide, [https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/air-conditioning-inspections-for-buildings Improving the energy efficiency of our buildings, A guide to air conditioning inspections for buildings], December 2012 suggests that an air conditioning system is defined as ‘a combination of all components required to provide a form of air treatment in which the temperature is controlled, or can be lowered, and includes systems which combine such air treatment with the control of ventilation, humidity and air cleanliness’.<br /> <br /> This includes fixed, self-contained systems, such as split systems and centralised systems. Mechanical ventilation systems that provide no mechanical cooling, but serve spaces that are cooled by other means are included. Any components contained in air conditioning systems that are only intended to provide heating are excluded.<br /> <br /> = Process =<br /> <br /> In mechanically ventilated commercial developments, air conditioning is often provided by air handling units (AHU) connected to ductwork that supplies air to and extracts air from internal spaces. Alternatively, air handling units can be used to supply and extract air direct to a space.<br /> <br /> Air handling units typically comprise an insulated box that might include some, or all of the following components; filter racks or chambers, a fan (or blower), heating, cooling and dehumidification, sound attenuators and dampers. Air handling units that consist of only a fan and a heating or cooling element, located within the space they are serving, may be referred to as fan coil units (FCU).<br /> <br /> Cooling itself can be generated either within the unit itself, or can be provided by connection to central chillers.<br /> <br /> = Related articles on Designing Buildings Wiki =<br /> <br /> * Absorption refrigeration.<br /> * Africa tops world AC growth forecasts.<br /> * Air conditioning in non-domestic buildings.<br /> * Air conditioning inspection (energy performance regulations).<br /> * Air conditioning inspection procedure.<br /> * Air handling unit.<br /> * BREEAM Impact of refrigerants.<br /> * BSRIA completes 2021 World Air Conditioning market studies.<br /> * BSRIA: new Global Air Conditioning Market Studies.<br /> * Building Automation and Control System BACS.<br /> * Chilled beam.<br /> * Chiller units.<br /> * Chilled water.<br /> * Cooling systems for buildings.<br /> * Complex system.<br /> * Data centres.<br /> * Designing HVAC to resist harmful microorganisms.<br /> * Ductwork.<br /> * Evaporative cooling.<br /> * Fan coil unit.<br /> * Fresh air.<br /> * Global Air Conditioning Study 2016.<br /> * Growing focus on IAQ challenges for specifiers and HVAC manufacturers.<br /> * Heat recovery.<br /> * How to Use Your Air Conditioning Energy Assessments to Reduce Energy Costs.<br /> * Humidity.<br /> * HVAC.<br /> * HVAC balancing.<br /> * IAQ developments accelerated by COVID-19 pandemic.<br /> * Local air conditioning.<br /> * Refrigerants.<br /> * Thermal comfort.<br /> * Underfloor air conditioning at London Grade II listed landmark.<br /> * Variable air volume VAV.<br /> * Variable refrigerant flow VRF.<br /> * When hospital buildings aren’t healthy.<br /> * Workplace air conditioning.<br /> <br /> = External references =<br /> <br /> * CIBSE Guide B.

Andrea Charlson https://www.designingbuildings.co.uk/wiki/Retrofit 2021-06-30T10:59:50Z

<p>Andrea Charlson: </p> <hr /> <div>= Introduction =<br /> <br /> Retrofitting means 'providing something with a component or feature not fitted during manufacture or adding something that it did not have when first constructed' (Ref: Retrofit 2050: Critical challenges for urban transitions). It is often used in relation to the installation of new building systems, such as heating systems, but it might also refer to the fabric of a building, for example, retrofitting insulation or double glazing. For more information see: Definitions of retrofitting.<br /> <br /> Retrofitting has come to prominence in recent years as part of the drive to make buildings more thermal efficient and sustainable. This can help cut carbon emissions, make it cheaper and easier to run buildings, and can contribute to overcoming poor ventilation and damp problems, therefore improving the health of occupants. It can also can increase building adaptability, durability and resiliency and therefore contributes to achieveing a circular economy.<br /> <br /> The Climate Change Act established a target for the UK to reduce its emissions by at least 80% from 1990 levels by 2050. Since 47% of the UK's carbon emissions are generated or influenced by the construction industry, and it is thought that around 2/3rds of the housing we will occupy in 2050 has already been built, retrofitting is vital.<br /> <br /> The 2014 study New energy retrofit concept: 'renovation trains' for mass housing', by Ronald Rovers, estimated that 40 million houses in the EU would have to be retrofitted by 2020 if carbon emissions reductions were to stay on track. This, he argued, would require the adoption of mass retrofit techniques, some of which have been piloted in in the Netherlands.<br /> <br /> = Retrofit techniques =<br /> <br /> Retrofitting in this context should involve applying an integrated, whole-building process, however, there are a number of basic techniques that can be used for key elements of a building:<br /> <br /> * Walls: Cavity wall insulation, internal or external insulation, and cladding of external and internal surfaces.<br /> * Roofs: Insulation and ventilation systems.<br /> * Doors: Draught proofing or replacement high-performance doors.<br /> * Windows: Installation of double or triple glazing, draught proofing of existing glazing.<br /> * Floors: Installation of insulation.<br /> * Tanks and pipes: Lagging.<br /> * Lighting: New controls, occupancy sensors, Light-Emitting Diode (LED) lighting and other low energy technologies.<br /> * Boilers: Installation of high-efficiency condensing boilers or micro CHP, new controls, connection to low carbon community heating systems.<br /> * Chiller plant improvements: Plant, pumps, piping and controls upgrade.<br /> * Controls: Installation of smart controls and building management systems.<br /> * Air conditioning: Upgrade, or replace with air or ground source heat pumps or passive cooling.<br /> * Renewable energy systems: Installation of photovoltaics, solar thermal heating, passive solar heating, wind energy, wood and organic waste power sourced heating or power plant, micro-hydro power, and so on.<br /> * Water conservation: Installation of low-flow equipment such as water fittings, shower heads, dual flush WC's, rainwater harvesting, and so on.<br /> * Electricity: Peak saving through thermal energy storage, onsite electricity generation, combined heat and power, and so on.<br /> * Advanced metering systems: Smart meters.<br /> <br /> = Retrofit in practice =<br /> <br /> The process of retrofitting involves the careful balancing of different elements and their effects on the overall performance of a building. A change in one part of a building can affect another, and sometimes this is only apparent after irreversible defects have occurred. For example:<br /> <br /> * Sealing buildings to improve their air-tightness can cause condensation problems.<br /> * Insulating a roof without also ventilating it can the cause decay of timber structure.<br /> * Internal wall insulation will remove the benefits of thermal mass which may have a detrimental effect on fuel usage.<br /> * External wall insulation will prevent the thermal store of heat from solar gain to be utilised within the building.<br /> * Poorly installed cavity wall insulation can create cold spots that then have damp problems that are extremely difficult to rectify.<br /> * Pre-existing problems can be covered up, and so more difficult to diagnose and rectify.<br /> <br /> Some of the most common problems facing retrofit include: under-ventilation, condensation, air leakage, mould issues, rising damp, interstitial condensation, and overheating.<br /> <br /> It is very important therefore that these and other risks are understood and managed in a way that is appropriate to each individual project. Standard solutions should not simply be rolled out without proper consideration, and it is vital that care is taken to ensure high quality installation. At each of the four retrofit processes – assessment, design, installation and operation – it is advisable to have 'retrofit watch points' to help avoid problems such as:<br /> <br /> * Poor management of trades.<br /> * Poor integration of trades.<br /> * The adoption of inappropriate solutions.<br /> * Overambitious performance gains claimed by designers and suppliers.<br /> * A lack of robustness of detailed design.<br /> * Fragmented procurement and delivery (lack of overall responsibility and ownership).<br /> * Poor construction sequencing and commissioning.<br /> * Inadequate handover and user guidance.<br /> <br /> Once a building has been retrofitted, the process of post-occupancy evaluation is important in determining its overall success and ensuring that lessons are learned for future projects. This can be involve monitoring fuel use, occupant surveys, air permeability testing, and thermographic surveys and so on.<br /> <br /> = Related articles on Designing Buildings Wiki =<br /> <br /> * Alteration work.<br /> * Bill Gething and Katie Puckett - Design for Climate Change.<br /> * Bonfield Review.<br /> * Definitions of retrofitting.<br /> * Ecobuild 2016 - Making the business case for large scale retrofit investment.<br /> * Energy efficiency of traditional buildings.<br /> * Energy efficiency retrofit training videos.<br /> * Energy Performance Certificates.<br /> * Fabric first.<br /> * Government urged to include home energy retrofits in Industrial Strategy.<br /> * Home Energy Masterplan.<br /> * How to deal with retrofit risks.<br /> * National Refurbishment Centre.<br /> * National Retrofit Strategy NRS.<br /> * New energy retrofit concept: 'renovation trains' for mass housing.<br /> * PAS 2035.<br /> * Refurbishment.<br /> * Renovation.<br /> * Renovation v refurbishment v retrofit.<br /> * Retrofit and traditional approaches to comfort.<br /> * Retrofit coordinator.<br /> * Retrofit, refurbishment and the growth of connected HVAC technology.<br /> * Retrofitting solar shading.<br /> * The Each Home Counts report and traditional buildings.<br /> <br /> = Useful external links =<br /> <br /> * [https://www.istructe.org/resources/training/minimal-intervention-less-is-more/ Minimal intervention: less is more]<br /> <br /> [[Category:DCN_Definition]] [[Category:DCN_Guidance]] [[Category:Circular_economy]] [[Category:Definitions]] [[Category:Sustainability]] [[Category:Construction_techniques]] [[Category:Property_development]] [[Category:Roles_/_services]]</div>

<p>Andrea Charlson: </p> <hr /> <div>Refurbishment is the process of improvement by cleaning, decorating and re-equipping. It may also include elements of retrofitting with the aim of making a building more energy efficient and sustainable.<br /> <br /> As a broad term, refurbishment is often used interchangeably with renovation or restoration (which is to do with restoring a building to its former condition). In general, refurbishment can encompass such works as ‘cosmetic’ renovations (such as painting and decorating), upgrading, major repair work, alterations, conversions, extensions and modernisations.<br /> <br /> The lifecycle of a building can be significantly extended by effective refurbishment, as such it is a key component in achieving a circular economy. As every building is unique, not only structurally, technically and typologically, but also in local context, the correct approach to refurbishment should be assessed according to the particular conditions. Designers should seek to understand the actual uses of existing buildings and communicate with diverse stakeholders from the initial project phase to the end of the refurbishment.<br /> <br /> = Related articles on Designing Buildings Wiki =<br /> <br /> * Alteration work.<br /> * Ashby company breathes new life into 19th century hospital site.<br /> * Building an extension.<br /> * CIBSE Case Study Angel Building Refurbishment.<br /> * CIBSE Case Study Thamesmead Estate Refurbishment.<br /> * Circular Construction in Regenerative Cities (CIRCuIT).<br /> * Conservation of the historic environment.<br /> * Decoration.<br /> * Energy efficiency retrofit training videos.<br /> * Five tips for planning a home renovation.<br /> * Licence to alter.<br /> * Loft conversion.<br /> * Making good.<br /> * National Refurbishment Centre.<br /> * Permitted development.<br /> * [[Point_Cloud_modeling_considerations_for_M%26E_in_refurbishment_projects|Point Cloud modeling considerations for M&amp;amp;E in refurbishment projects.]]<br /> * Pre-demolition and pre-refurbishment audits.<br /> * Remedial works.<br /> * Renovation.<br /> * Renovation v refurbishment v retrofit.<br /> * Restoration.<br /> * Retrofit.<br /> <br /> = Other useful links =<br /> <br /> * An introduction to refurbishment for structural engineers.

It is about considering how to maximise the lifespan and reusability of entire buildings or materials at the very start of the design process.<br /> <br /> [[File:Circularconstruction.png]]<br /> <br /> [[Category:Circular_economy]] [[Category:Definitions]]</div>

<p>Andrea Charlson: </p> <hr /> <div>A circular economy is based on the principles of designing out waste and pollution, keeping products and materials in use, and regenerating natural systems. (ref [https://www.ellenmacarthurfoundation.org/circular-economy/what-is-the-circular-economy Ellen MacArthur Foundation])<br /> <br /> This is in contrast to the traditional 'linear' model which is based on the concept of 'make, break, and discard' or 'take, make waste'.<br /> <br /> The circular economy is a concept in which everything is engineered to be constantly reused or recycled. It requires rethinking of design, manufacturing, selling, re-using, recycling and consumer ownership to keep resources in use for as long as possible and to extract maximum value.<br /> <br /> 'Business as usual' sees contractors and the supply chain following the waste hierarchy; reduce, reuse and recycle, to a greater or lesser extent. But the concept of the circular economy goes beyond the 3 R's and aims to maximise total material resource efficiency.<br /> <br /> There is massive economic advantage for businesses adopting a circular economy. The UK Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) calculates profit of up to £23 billion per year for UK businesses through low cost or no cost improvements and McKinsey estimates a global value of $3.7 trillion per year (ref.

<p>Andrea Charlson: </p> <hr /> <div>Organisations from across London, Copenhagen, Hamburg and the Helsinki Region have partnered in a four-year (2019-2023) collaborative project funded by the European Commission’s Horizon 2020 programme called CIRCuIT - Circular Construction in Regenerative Cities: [https://www.circuit-project.eu/ https://www.circuit-project.eu/]<br /> <br /> The project aims are to:<br /> <br /> * Increase the regenerative capacity of cities<br /> * Reduce the yearly consumption of virgin raw material by 20% in new builds<br /> * Show cost savings of 15%<br /> <br /> This will in turn result in waste and carbon reduction.<br /> <br /> Through the project three innovative interventions will be explored:<br /> <br /> * Urban mining and reverse cycles (the re-use and recycling of materials);<br /> * Extending building life through transformation and refurbishment; and<br /> * Designing for disassembly and flexible construction (to make the other two interventions easier in the future).<br /> <br /> These interventions will be implemented through nine demonstrations in each partner city which will aim to:<br /> <br /> * Bridge the gap between implementation of individual pilots and realisation of actual circular and regenerative cities – so scaling up to show how circular building practice can transform cities and regions at scale<br /> * Demonstrate the application of current and future developed tools and instruments for circular built environment – so converting cutting edge theory into practice<br /> <br /> Knowledge and skills sharing are also a key aspect of the project. CIRCuIT will support cities in implementing circular construction solutions and initiate changes at system level through:<br /> <br /> * Developing recommendations, tools and resources including public procurement criteria and roadmaps<br /> * Establishing a Circularity Hub – a suite of data platforms including a data atlas, dashboard, citizen engagement portal, materials exchange platform and wiki<br /> * Setting up a knowledge sharing structure which will include training focused at municipalities and establishing networks across Europe.<br /> <br /> To keep up to date with the project you can join the project [http://eepurl.com/gRt8zv mailing list].<br /> <br /> [[Category:Projects_and_case_studies]] [[Category:Research_/_Innovation]]</div>
