Being south facing, the site helped to orientate the building in order to achieve the passivhaus target. The building is dug into the south-facing slope and topped with a curved turf roof so as to maximise solar gains and blend into the immediate surroundings. The sloping elevation then enabled a permaculture zoning strategy whereby seven layers of forest garden have been planned. This consists of an edible community of species designed to mimic a natural ecosystem. The scheme includes an aquaculture irrigation system, wildlife pond and forest garden. </span></div></div></div><blockquote type="cite"><div dir="ltr"><div class="WordSection1" style="page: WordSection1;"><blockquote style="margin-bottom: 5pt; margin-top: 5pt;">

It is a real pleasure to live in. The central atrium and eyrie are architectural highlights. Importantly, the internal space is highly flexible which suits our lifestyle and hobbies perfectly. The use of healthy materials combined with ventilation and Winter heat recovery means that we enjoy excellent internal air quality and comfort all year round. The careful thought that went into the design and construction of the fabric of the building eliminated the need for active technologies such as central heating - one of the advantages of following a Passivhaus methodology. Consequently, the house benefits from very low running and maintenance costs. As well as a detailed spec and comprehensive drawings, the team at Gale and Snowden also gave us timely and well informed advice during the construction phase. This assisted the smooth running of the building process and ensured the construction was up to the required standard for Passivhaus certification. It also helped us to keep the project on budget. </i></div></font><blockquote type="cite"><div dir="ltr"><div class="WordSection1" style="page: WordSection1;"><blockquote style="margin-bottom: 5pt; margin-top: 5pt;">

The scheme benefits from a hollow clay block walling system that needs no other form of insulation other than the clay block itself, low electro magnetic field wiring arrangements, triple glazing and a high efficiency mechanical ventilation system with heat recovery (MVHR) complete with exhaust air heat pump heating the hot water. With its highly insulated and air tight Passivhaus envelope and a MVHR system which provides fresh filtered air all year round, the apartments will be warm in the winter and fresh and cool during the summer. <br />
<br />
There is also an array of PV panels on the roof so the building generates more energy than it uses. All of which have contributed in the building achieving the stringent Passivhaus Plus target, which no other apartment building in the UK has achieved. It also score<span style="text-align: center;">d an A rating on it energy performance certificate. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: #252525;">Utilising a monolithic clay block
construction with high performance render externally and plaster
internally means an entirely mineral wall build-up which is hygroscopic,
helping to regulate internal humidity. Designed around the large format
block coursing, construction time is greatly reduced, drying out period is
minimised, and come the end of the building’s life, the construction can
be simply crushed up without the need for separation and disposal of
composite elements.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><i>In his 2008 book In Defence of Food, Michael Pollan set out his “Eater’s
Manifesto”. It included: “Don’t eat anything your great grandmother wouldn't
recognise as food” and “Avoid food products containing ingredients that are a)
unfamiliar, b) unpronounceable, c) more than five in number”. We could apply
the same rules to the materials we use in our homes.</i></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><i>While interest in healthy food has grown, we still live in homes built
from materials that our great-grandparents would be hard-pressed to recognise
and containing ingredients most of us could barely pronounce. Now, a handful of
architects, designers and companies are questioning the impact of these
materials on our health. <o:p></o:p></i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><i>Three years ago, David Gale, director of Gale & Snowden Architects
in Devon, co-founded the non-profit Building Biology Association — the UK affiliate
of the Institute of Building Biology and Sustainability, founded in Germany in
1983. “At the heart of Building Biology,” he says, “lies the notion that nature
is the golden principle that we should be designing our buildings to so that,
for instance, air and water quality and electromagnetic radiation levels should
match nature as closely as possible.” <o:p></o:p></i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><i>Gale argues that as homes become more energy efficient, they can also
become less healthy. “If you make a building more airtight, badly ventilated
and have lots of toxic chemicals in it, you’re going to have problems.” <o:p></o:p></i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><i>The research backs him up. A 2014 study by the University of Exeter
Medical School found that the greener a home, the less healthy it could be. It
concluded that “a unit increase in household Standard Assessment Procedure
rating” — the measure of a home’s energy efficiency on a scale of zero to 100 —
“was associated with a 2 per cent increased risk of current asthma, with the
greatest risk in homes with SAP greater than 71”. New homes in the UK have an
average rating of almost 80. <o:p></o:p></i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><i>“We’re designing homes and schools where there are no windows that
open,” says Amena Warner, head of clinical services for the charity Allergy UK.
In a well-sealed environment, temperatures and humidity can rise to create the
ideal environment for allergens such as the house dust mite and mould. As a
result, Warner says occupants “might get allergic rhinitis — a blocked or runny
nose — and they can also get asthma. We know that for the majority of children
with asthma it’s driven by allergy.” <o:p></o:p></i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><i>According to the housing charity Shelter, England needs to build at
least 250,000 new homes each year. Yet could the rush to build be storing up
health problems for the future? On the rental side of the market, more than 20
per cent of UK households now rent privately and landlords are incentivised to
redecorate cheaply and fill their flats quickly. Many tenants experience what
could be called “Queen syndrome”: everywhere smells of fresh paint. <o:p></o:p></i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><i>Paint is one of the biggest culprits in an unhealthy home. Walls,
ceilings and woodwork are covered with the stuff and home-makeover television
shows have normalised the idea of redecorating a room or two over a DIY
weekend. Yet, colour aside, how many of us give much thought to what we’re
splashing on to our walls (and our skin)? <o:p></o:p></i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><i>Paint requires just three ingredients: a pigment (the colour), a solvent
(the bit that makes it a liquid), and a binder (which sticks the pigment to the
wall). How paint is made has changed little in the past century; what has
changed is the source of its components. “We have switched from naturally
occurring ingredients to derivatives of the petrochemical industry,” says
Edward Bulmer, an architectural historian and interior designer who sells his
own brand of environmentally friendly paint. <o:p></o:p></i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><i>Bulmer’s Damascene moment came in the early 2000s when he was
commissioned to decorate a new part of Goodwood House, an estate in southern
England. “I was asked to be very careful about what I used in my work and judge
them by two criteria: their environmental impact and their toxicity,” he says.
“I was proposing stone and plaster and furniture made from wood, horsehair and
leather and curtains of wool. And then I met the paint and thought ‘what is
it?’ If you turn a tin of paint round, you can’t tell anything about what’s in
it, and if you don’t know the ingredients of something, you can’t judge it.” <o:p></o:p></i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><i>Calls to major paint companies drew a blank; their technical departments
were unable — or unwilling — to offer a list of ingredients. Instead, they sent
data safety sheets. “They are a matter of compliance,” says Bulmer, “but they
only tell you about a small minority of the worst ingredients. They don’t tell
you about the main bulk of the paint.” So he decided to make his own. <o:p></o:p></i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><i>Today, the average can of paint has an ingredient list as long as your
arm — much of it toxic or carcinogenic. And given that up to 60 per cent of
what goes on the wall then evaporates, if you don’t ventilate your home or
allow the paint to off-gas — that is, to allow toxic gases to be dispelled —
for long enough you are inhaling a large proportion of that. <o:p></o:p></i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><i>Of course paint is not the only building material that can have a health
impact. MDF — medium density fibreboard — is a favoured material among builders
and carpenters looking to produce cupboards and shelving, and to box in pipes
or baths. It can give a very smooth finish and is cheap and easy to work with.
The downside is that it is made from extremely fine wood dust held together by
copious amounts of glue, which contains formaldehyde. <o:p></o:p></i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><i>“It’s the asbestos of tomorrow,” says Gale. “We knew back in the early
1900s that asbestos was dangerous but it wasn’t banned until 1999.”
Formaldehyde can also be found in the backing of linoleum flooring, the glue in
plywood and other composite materials. <o:p></o:p></i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><i>Heating systems, too, can cause health issues. Small, hot radiators not
only trap dust in and behind them, but create convection currents that disperse
that dust around the room. Underfloor heating is an improvement as the lower
temperature warms a room more evenly. Yet some heat is wasted (under sofas etc)
and it still creates convection currents. Gale suggests a similar radiant
system of pipes that can be fitted into a wall and plastered over, more evenly
warming a room without the strong convection currents that disperse dust. <o:p></o:p></i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><i>So what can be done? Ventilation is key. The average family of four
produces 16 litres of moisture per week. The optimum relative humidity level is
50 to 55 per cent and to combat damp problems in poorly ventilated homes,
dehumidifiers such as Meaco’s Low Energy 20L can help regulate levels. <o:p></o:p></i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><i>As the UK government is committed to an 80 per cent reduction in carbon
emissions by 2050, and new homes must have increased air-tightness to help meet
this target, a longer term solution would be to ensure that all new-builds are
fitted with more comprehensive ventilation systems. <o:p></o:p></i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><i>The gold standard for Passivhaus and energy efficient buildings is
Mechanical Ventilation with Heat Recovery. An MVHR system brings in fresh air
from outside, using the heat from the stale outgoing air to warm it. <o:p></o:p></i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><i>The pursuit of healthier building materials is starting to catch the
attention of larger organisations too. Google linked up with the Healthy
Building Network in the US last year to work on Portico, an online database of
materials that lists all ingredients and rates how healthy they are. The aim is
to enable designers, architects and developers to make informed decisions about
the buildings that many of us will end up living and working in. <o:p></o:p></i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><i>Yet for homeowners looking to redecorate, Gale has his own basic
manifesto. “As a general rule,” he says, “the more natural the better.”</i></span><span style="font-family: Times; font-size: 10pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

Work on two social housing schemes is progressing well on-site and the next generation of council-owned homes are being realised for two Local Authorities in the South West.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #222222; font-family: inherit;">Work commenced in September on 26 new flats in </span><span style="color: #222222;">adjacent</span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: inherit;"> to Rennes Tower, Pinhoe, Exeter which signify the latest and largest housing development that Gale & Snowden Architects has undertaken with Exeter City Council (ECC). The Passivhaus scheme, incorporating Building Biology principles, marks almost ten years of teamwork, delivering low energy, healthy homes for Council tenants. The design represents the latest step in Gale & Snowden’s evolutionary approach to Passivhaus aimed at reducing costs, simplifying and speeding up construction, enhancing collaboration with the contractor, and optimising building performance for future climate scenarios.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

Building on Gale & Snowden's previous experience with <a href="http://www.ecodesign.co.uk/expertise/passivhaus-design-consultancy" target="_blank">Passivhaus</a>, both of these projects for Exeter and Bristol City Councils explore an alternative construction methodology based around monolithic clay external walls. These large format blocks and thin bed mortar system allow for increased speed of construction and, once the homes are finished, the hygroscopic properties of the clay blocks buffer and moderate humidity levels providing a stable, healthy internal environment.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Both schemes are due for completion in 2017. Please follow us on <a href="https://twitter.com/galeandsnowden" target="_blank">Twitter</a> for site progress updates.</div>

Last week, Gale & Snowden Architects were lucky enough to be invited to the IBN Building Biology Consultants Conference, held at Verden, Germany. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Being the only consultancy in the UK that is registered with the IBN as an IBN consultant, Gale & Snowden Architects were pleased to be part of the occasion. We met some wonderful people, learnt a great deal, and G&S representatives David and Tomas presented to the delegates on Saturday morning.</div>

Gale & Snowden's presentation included the practice's approach to ecological design and our work with the IBN Building Biology Institute for a new leisure building in the centre of Exeter, planned to be the first Passivhaus Certified and Building Biology compliant leisure building in the world.
One of the highlights of the conference was seeing the five-storey straw bale building where the conference was being held - Marvellous! </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Thank you to our friends at the IBN for organising the Conference and making us feel so welcome.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">As temperatures earlier this week reached upwards of
30ºC in Bideford and Exeter - with even higher temperatures elsewhere - the
importance of designing buildings for summer comfort, and to avoid overheating, becomes more apparent. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; text-align: left;"><span style="text-align: justify;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit; text-align: left;"><span style="text-align: justify;">The
highest UK temperature on Tuesday was recorded in Oxfordshire peaking at 33.5</span><span lang="EN-US" style="text-align: justify;">°</span><span style="text-align: justify;">C,</span></span><span style="font-family: inherit; text-align: left;"> and
although this is by no means as hot as other parts of the world, the UK is not
used to elevated temperatures and sustained bouts of heat. The high
temperatures, unsurprisingly, resulted in widespread disruption of services,
productivity, and sleep patterns.</span></div>

the UK typically experiences mild winters and summers, our built
environment and its residents have little resilience to cope with, and adapt to, any extremes in temperature. The recent heatwave only lasted a couple of
days, however the trend over the past ten years has shown that heat waves
are becoming a regular occurrence in the UK. The trends suggest more
prolonged heatwaves are likely to occur in the future.</span><span style="font-family: "times"; font-size: 16pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: inherit;">At Gale & Snowden, we are also seeing an increased trend of consultancy and troubleshooting projects assessing overheating and comfort issues both in the home and in the workplace.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span><span style="font-family: inherit;">These are not old properties, instead more modern buildings
- the more we insulate buildings, the more we have to ensure the design is
correct in terms of orientation, glazing ratios, construction mass and

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: inherit;">G&S were recently employed to troubleshoot two modern
developments both located on the coast that had been
overheating for more than 50% of the year - even with our mild summers.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> Upon investigation there was seemingly n</span>o clear design for summer
ventilation in terms of openings, construction mass or cross/stack ventilation;
too much south facing glazing with little shading for summer solar gain were typically highlighted as areas to target. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> We have found similar issues with offices that we have troubleshooted, here however, the added IT loads have exaggerated the issue. </span></span><br />
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: inherit;">Whilst it’s a great idea to harvest solar gain in
winter; designs have to be mindful of summer solar gain also.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span><br />
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: inherit;">Another area where designs fall down is that the
weather files used are typically based on past weather data, rather than likely future weather patterns.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Gale & Snowden Architects offer two services that address the issue of climate change and overheating in the built environment. Firstly, a climate change adaptation design consultancy service is offered where projects are analysed using future weather files, thermal modelling and carrying out climate change risk assessments. This can address issues such as overheating, flooding, wind-driven rain, and water shortage. The second service is a troubleshooting and fine-tuning service where buildings are assessed and tested using a wide range of instruments and tools, for example to test for overheating or poorly performing building services plant and controls.

Since 1977, the IBN Building Biology Consultant Course has been at the core of the ZFU-approved training program to become an IBN Building Biology Consultant. The main mission of the program is to educate and promote competence in the field of healthy, sustainable, and holistic building practices in living and work environments, as well as promoting natural lifestyles.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Available in the UK for the first time, and aimed at homeowners, students, and construction and medical professionals, the eagerly anticipated IBN Building Biology Consultant Course is fully accredited by the Institute of Building Biology + Sustainability, or <i>Institut für Baubiologie + Nachhaltigkeit (IBN)</i>.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<span lang="EN-US">On the M&E side of things the aim was to integrate small and simple systems within the Passivhaus design and to do so following healthy building design principles.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US">Designing in small and elegant heating solutions for homes that do not require much heat can be challenging. Most systems on the market such as biomass and heat pumps systems linking into underfloor heating are simply too costly and too over engineered in a Passivhaus. The right balance we found with this scheme was a small log burner, which will be inset into masonry, </span>with back boiler feeding into a thermal store. The thermal store was sized appropriately to match the back boiler output and serves the clients hot water and small heating need without being over engineered. Back up is via electric immersion which is modulated in output to suit the electrical load being generated by the PV array on the roof. We then arrived at a rather elegant, simple and small wall heating solution in some of the perimeter rooms which is fed from the thermal store. Wall heating systems are considered even more effective than underfloor heating at delivering comfortable and radiant heat and they can be down-sized to suit the heat loss requirements for each room, hence can be compact and small. Underfloor heating typically fills the whole floor which becomes a costly system in a home that does not need much heat. </div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">As designers of
super insulated and healthy buildings we were saddened to read in <span style="color: #420178;"><a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-35834733" target="_blank">this BBC news article</a> </span>that more than 1 million families in the UK cannot afford to
heat their poorly insulated homes, and are living in squalid, damp, cold and
mouldy conditions. Given that in 2000 Parliament aimed to end fuel poverty by 2016, it is

<span style="font-family: inherit;">The recently published government report, '<i>Building Performance Evaluation Programme: Findings from domestic projects'</i>, conducted by Innovate UK (formally the Technology Strategy Board), set out to find out if low-carbon homes really were performing as energy-efficiently as predicted at the design stage, and if not, what was causing the 'performance gap'. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The UK is legally bound to reduce greenhouse gases by 80% by 2050. Building better low-carbon homes will help the UK achieve this ambitious goal. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The Innovate UK report, published earlier this month on the <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/low-carbon-homes-best-strategies-and-pitfalls">GOV.UK</a> website, looked at data from a subset of 76 homes in the Innovate UK’s Building
Performance Evaluation Programme (BPE). The
properties chosen in the BPE are part of leading-edge developments across the UK where low-carbon design was a priority, and include two of </span><a href="http://www.ecodesign.co.uk/">Gale & Snowden Architects</a>' recent residential projects,
<a href="http://www.ecodesign.co.uk/projects/residential/knights-place/">Knight's Place</a> and <a href="http://www.ecodesign.co.uk/projects/residential/rowan-house">Rowan House</a>.
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The report looks at three forms of low-carbon design (Passivhaus, Passive Solar and Traditional with renewable energy systems) and concludes that: <i>'homes built to Passivhaus standards achieved the best airtightness and insulation values, which means they had the lowest heat loss and the best thermal performance'.</i></span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Gale & Snowden was involved in the BPE programme, spending a period of over two years monitoring five Passivhaus flats at Knight's Place and Rowan House. Our previous blog post discussing the methods used to monitor the flats can be found <a href="http://gale-snowden.blogspot.co.uk/2014/12/tsb-monitoring-at-knights-place.html">here</a>.</span><br />

</tbody></table>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The Innovate UK report found that Knight's Place came second across the schemes tested in airtightness results, achieving air permeabilities of 0.30m3/hr/m2 and 0.74m3/hr/m2 (at 50Pa) against a design of 0.41m3/hr/m2 (at 50Pa). The worst performing scheme was as much as 14.48m3/hr/m2 (at 50Pa) worse than designed. Credit goes to ISG Pearce Ltd. contractors for achieving such outstanding airtight construction.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Other findings in the report include:</span></div>
<div>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Adopting Passivhaus principles can
achieve very low energy use for space
heating. Long-term low heating bills can
repay the extra effort and attention needed
onsite. </span></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Construction has a limited effect on
electricity use. However, the use of low-power fittings, including lights, can reduce demand.
Efficient construction provides a much bigger
scope for savings in space heating. </span></li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Having designed low-energy buildings for nearly 25 years, Gale & Snowden welcome the report's findings and will use the information and strategies outlined to build on their already vast experience in Passivhaus and low-energy design.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">The <i>Greenwood</i> project is a unique new build dwelling, set in the beautiful North Devon countryside, close to the village of High Bickington. </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">Gale & Snowden Architects was able to obtain detailed planning permission for this ecological and low energy building on the site of a former single-storey dwelling.</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span></span></div>

<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">The innovative building and landscape design makes the best use of site assets: the dwelling is built into the south facing bank of the valley to maximise solar gains and panoramic countryside views, whilst seeking shelter from cold Northerly winds. The site generates its own fuel and power from coppiced wood, solar thermal and photovoltaic panels, and its productive garden provides food for the occupants.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><a href="http://www.ecodesign.co.uk/">Gale & Snowden Architects</a>' involvement with Barnstaple and North Devon Museum </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">has led to their concept design study of the Long Bridge Wing gaining Stage 1 Heritage Lottery Funding.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; text-align: justify;">Gale & Snowden was selected by North Devon District Council to undertake a concept design study for a new extension to the Barnstaple and North Devon Museum: the ‘Long Bridge Wing'.</span></span><br />
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">This concept design was submitted to the Heritage Lottery Fund in a bid to gain Stage 1 funding, which will enable the Museum to hold public consultations and to develop the design of the extension, leading to a Stage 2 funding bid later this year. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">If the Stage 2 bid is successful, further funding would be released, and alongside ongoing fundraising efforts made by the Museum and the Barnstaple Museum Development Trust,<i> </i>the extension could become a reality in 2018.</span></span></div>

The proposal also replanned the interior of the existing museum to improve visitor circulation through galleries and exhibitions.</span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">450m2 of existing displays and collections would be improved and upgraded to contemporary standards, including the geology, natural history, archaeology and manufacturers of North Devon and Barnstaple. The increase in footprint would also allow for the redisplaying of the Shapland and Petter furniture and Brannam Art Pottery collections, which demonstrate Barnstaple’s importance as a creative manufacturing centre during the Arts and Crafts period.</span></span><br />

<a href="http://www.ecodesign.co.uk/" target="_blank">Gale & Snowden Architects</a> has recently gained Planning Permission and Listed Building Consent for an extension and internal reworking to a thatched cottage nestled in the North Devon countryside.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Gale & Snowden was employed to design a super-insulated, timber-frame kitchen extension to the Grade II Listed former farmhouse, making best use of the stunning views over the garden, surrounding countryside and further afield to Dartmoor.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The fully-glazed garden elevation, combined with a high, open-vaulted roof, will allow daylight to flood into the extension. Large sliding doors will seamlessly bring together inside and outside spaces, improving the connection between the house and garden.</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The materials proposed - natural stone walling, large section timber frame and slate roofing - are in keeping with the local North Devon vernacular and pay homage to its listed setting.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In addition, Gale & Snowden was employed to rework the internal room arrangement to create an improved layout whilst retaining and celebrating the cottage's features of historical importance, including timber beams and a bread oven.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Completed in 2011, Knights Place, an award-winning exemplar sustainable housing scheme that is fully accessible according to Lifetime Homes Standards, was amongst the first multi-residential certified passive houses in the UK.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The scheme was designed with low energy use throughout: the holistic passive design strategy allows the units to be operated without a conventional heating system, and at the same time avoiding overheating in summer. The result of this is extremely low heating energy bills for tenants, tackling fuel poverty.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Gale & Snowden, with funding from the Technology Strategy Board (TSB) / Innovate UK, revisited the scheme a year after completion and undertook a two year building performance evaluation monitoring exercise, between 2012 and 2014. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
Our previous blog post <i><a href="http://gale-snowden.blogspot.co.uk/2014/12/tsb-monitoring-at-knights-place.html">TSB Monitoring at Knights Place Proves Passivhaus Works</a></i> outlines the results of the exercise and includes the full report.<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">During the monitoring period, several of the flats were not using any heating and the ones that were, had energy bills in line with the design predictions. The two year study included a winter extreme and summer heat wave that exceeded the current summer weather files used as part of the overheating design assessment. We were able to assess in detail how a super-insulated building performs during these hot extremes. </span><br />
<div style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Even in the UK climate, <a href="http://www.building.co.uk/two-thirds-of-housing-providers-hit-by-overheating-problems/5076093.article" target="_blank">overheating in buildings and homes</a> is becoming increasingly common and problematic. It was imperative to us that we did not follow this trend.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">We assessed with PHPP and dynamic thermal modelling software optimising cross flow ventilation strategies, glazing ratios, and construction mass. </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">Our study found that the flats perform as designed using current weather design files and that they also performed well during weather extremes, exhibiting no overheating. This has given us even greater confidence in the design approach we take, and the design tools we use. </span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">In addition to their low energy credentials the buildings were also designed using Building Biology healthy design principles. We were able to include in the study the testing and evaluation of our low electromagnetic radiation (EMR) design, daylight design and air quality. G&S is the founding member of the <a href="http://www.ecodesign.co.uk/approach/healthy-buildings" target="_blank">Building Biology</a> Association UK and is pleased to be able to offer healthy building surveys and consultancy services.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">All the tests found the flats to be operating within their design parameters - optimum daylight levels, low EMR and excellent air quality. In some flats we optimised the MVHR further to provide better air quality than detailed in the ventilation regulations, which is one advantage of an MVHR system. </span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;">
Through an ongoing process of evaluation and review, our<span style="font-family: inherit;"> experience gained in the design and subsequent monitoring of this exemplar scheme is now being used to further optimise future designs.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><a href="http://www.ecodesign.co.uk/" target="_blank">Gale & Snowden Architects</a>' North Devon Passivhaus project 'Oyster Falls' has been featured in the latest issue of the <a href="http://passivehouseplus.ie/" target="_blank">Passive House Plus</a> (PH+) magazine.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The four-bedroom family home, completed in 2013, nestles in its cliffside location with uninterrupted panoramic sea views across Croyde Bay in North Devon, towards Lundy Island and the North Atlantic.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The project is showcased throughout a five page feature in Issue 13 of PH+, a bimonthly publication focused on Passivhaus and Passive House technology.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Project architect and G&S Director, Ian Snowden, was all too aware of the design challenges faced by the project but says that the design team "worked very hard to consistently meet the Client's brief and ensure that environmental and performance parameters were satisfied to stabilise the internal environment, preventing excessive heat loss, minimise overheating and achieve the requisite airtightness. Combining the desired aesthetic of clean, minimal lines with complex airtight and thermal bridge free details was often very challenging but we were able to overcome the difficulties and the results speak for themselves."</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">G&S was able to draw on extensive Passivhaus experience and rigorously apply the standard's principles to ensure that the building performed optimally despite an exacting design brief and challenging site.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Construction manager, Eddie Acford of <a href="http://www.point6projects.com/" target="_blank">Point 6 Projects</a>, himself with experience of building Passivhaus, says "It's testament to the design really, that a building in such a location with such an amount of glazing and such complexity can work in such a way. It is really something."</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Architect Jonathan Barattini who worked with Ian on the project recalls: </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">"This is arguably one of the most exceptional sites in North Devon. To do anything other than enable the occupants to enjoy a seamless experience of that magnificent view would do them, the house and the site a disservice."</span></div>

<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Westcott House, a large Victorian country
residence within Dartmoor National Park, has become the first building in the
UK to be certified under the Passivhaus Institute’s (<a href="http://www.passivhaus.org.uk/index.jsp">PHI</a>) Low Energy Building Standard.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The new standard is designed to acknowledge
projects which have overcome contextual and constructional challenges to
achieve some of the highest standards of low energy design in the world.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><a href="http://www.ecodesign.co.uk/">Gale
& Snowden</a> applied a holistic passive design strategy to the renovation
and extension of the house which allowed the existing property to be upgraded
to a level of efficiency such that a conventional heating system will only be
required in times of extreme winter conditions.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>At the same time, summertime overheating is avoided and overall
environmental impact is minimised.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Extremely high levels of insulation have
been added to the existing building, both externally and, where existing stone
facing was to be retained, internally, together with high-performance, triple
glazed windows and doors.</span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">Rigorous
detailing was required to ensure continuity of insulation and airtightness
around the building to reduce heat loss and minimise thermal bridging.</span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit;">The fabric-first approach was combined with
a highly efficient mechanical ventilation system with heat recovery to ensure
excellent indoor air quality and minimise heat losses through
infiltration.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Low carbon technologies
and on-site renewables further contribute to reducing the building’s overall
carbon footprint.<o:p></o:p></span></span><br />
