Design goes off-grid – why cranked? Addresses road side and easterly light, but most beds face west
-
New part L – lots of external wall etc? SBEM done – won’t meet Part M with conventional boilers, but will with boimass boilers – otherwise more solar thermal on roofs and walls
-
Alternative construction – talking to Yorkon and others
-
How do you clean high level windows?
-
How do you maintain some high-level facades?
-
Height for access/safety – off-set double pitch helps and maintains domestic appearance
-
Mono-pitch – more emphasis on road side
-
Cedum roof – within pitch constraints – reduces water run-off
-
Render to gables etc – prevents completion of lower roof
-
UPVC v aluminium
-
Steel frame needed for traditional construction
-
Timber frame – not considered
-
Heating – concrete slab with heating in waffles –Thermocast?
-
Underfloor – not flexible enough and not enough user control
-
Modular – will the design change? No
-
Circulation? About 38%
-
Service walkways? How do you get around the corners? Safe egress?
-
Basements – why not?
