  • Background

  • UK Greenhouse Gas Emissions

    6

    UK greenhouse gas emissions can be divided into the 7 end-user groups shown below. Residential emissions account for approximately 27% of the total. Between 2009 and 2010 residential emissions increased by 9%.

    2011 UK GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS, PROVISIONAL FIGURES AND 2010 UK GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS, FINAL FIGURES BY FUEL TYPE AND END-USER , Department of Energy and Climate Change, 29th March 2012.

  • UK Residential Sector

    7

    Based on 109,020 newly built homes in 2011. Approximately 25 million existing UK homes Total residential emissions of 157.2 Mt CO2e

    Operational residential emissions

    96%

    Embodied residential emissions

    4%

  • Approach

  • Life Cycle

    9

    This study assessed the lifecycle for the building from cradle to grave, divided into six standard stages.

    These are grouped into:

    Embodied (including products and construction, maintenance, and end-of-life)

    OperationsThis study examined both the embodied and operations carbon emissions measured in tonnes carbon dioxide equivalent (tCO2e).

    This life cycle assessment approach, although high level and including secondary data sources, defines the scope and boundary according to the standard BS EN 15978: 2011: Sustainability of construction works Assessment of environmental performance of buildings Calculation method.

  • Goals of the Study

    10

    The purpose of this study was to compare the life cycle carbon emissions (LCCE) of theexisting Heygate estate with the expected LCCE of the planned redevelopment by LendLease.

    The objectives of this study were as follows:

    1. to undertake an embodied carbon emissions (ECE) impact assessment of theexisting Heygate estate in Elephant & Castle and proposed new development

    2. to provide an estimate of the operational carbon emissions (OCE) of the existingestate and of the proposed new development over a 60 year lifetime

    3. to combine the ECE and OCE with to compare the LCCE of the existing estate andthe proposed new development

  • Boundary

    11

    The assessment covered the following boundary, outlined in red on the map:

    25 buildings (petrol station excluded) of which 3 are were clad in brick

    Total Gross Internal Area: 103,041m

    External Area (EA): 105,100 m (1,131,286 sq ft)

  • Calculation Methodology

    12

    An LCCE impact assessment for Building 22 (1-49 Wingrave) was calculated and the total was then divided by the GIA of the building to understand the LCCE intensity per sq m.

    Wingrave was chosen as a typical example of the type of building in the estate based on its size, height and construction.

    This carbon intensity figure per sq m GIA was then applied to the total GIA of the existing and demolished buildings to calculate an estimate of the total LCCE of the site.

    The external areas include the raised walkways, which were measured from site drawings in order to estimate the concrete and other materials used in their construction

    With consultation with Lend Lease it has been assumed that half of the area of the raised walkways contained garages underneath.

    The LCCE of the external areas were modelled separately and then a proportion was allocated to each building based on its GIA.

  • Building 22

    13

    The building assessed was 1-49 Wingrave, on the north edge of the Rodney Roadsection of the estate. The main features include:

    Gross Internal Area (GIA): 4,553 m2 (49,008 sq ft) Building Volume: 12,293m

    Jesperson Long Panel System (LPS) (prefabricated structural concrete panels) Old core including lift shafts/machinery and water tanks

    9 Levels including ground (2.7m tall) with floors consisting of timber baton to timber floor planks on top of vertical concrete units

    Foundations (ground slab and foundation): 435m Single glazed, steel framed windows

    Flat roof with insulation

  • Use of Primary and Secondary Data

    14

    Lend Lease & Southwark Council provided primary data for the following data points:

    Quantity of material due to be recycled on the site from the demolition of the existing buildings

    Estimations of the volume of the foundations and ground slab for the buildings by Rodney Road

    Plans and gross internal areas (GIAs) for the buildings within the existing estate Details of the prefabricated concrete panel system used for the existing estate Plans for the planned development including estimated GIAs of the buildings Outline details of the structure and cladding of the planned buildings Rodney Taplow Energy Study for heating and hot water of the existing estate

    Deloitte has used secondary data for the following:

    All other data points including BRE Energy Use in Homes study, the Bath Inventory of Carbon and Energy 2.0 database, and DEFRA/ DECC greenhouse gas conversion factors.

  • Carbon Impact Assessment

  • Embodied Carbon Calculations

    16

    The life cycle carbon emissions of the existing estate were estimated by inputting the primary and secondary data collected into our bespoke building carbon calculator.

    This models the carbon emissions for each of the materials and components based on a database of industry averages called the Inventory of Carbon and Energy, created by the University of Bath.

  • Embodied Carbon Existing Estate

    17

    The total embodied carbon footprint of both existing estates is estimated at 45,160 tCO2e, or 0.41 tCO2e per m2

    By modelling the life cycle for the whole estate, 81% of the embodied carbon was estimated to have been emitted during the construction, and 8% from maintenance of the buildings.

    Demolition of the buildings is estimated at 11% based on previous building measurements

  • Embodied Carbon Existing Estate

    18

    The graph below shows the carbon emissions from the construction of the existing estate,divided into the different building sections substructure (ground slab); superstructure(building above ground); fit-out (shell & core) partition walls, ceilings, lifts, mechanical andelectrical works.

  • Lifecycle Carbon Savings

    23

    Using the carbon savings from the new more energy efficient buildings compared to the energy efficiency of the existing estate, how many years would it take to pay back* the embodied carbon of the planned redevelopment? And of the existing estate as well?

    *Payback periods shown are an average of scenarios modelled variance is estimated at +/-20%

  • Conclusions

  • Conclusions

    25

    The impact assessment demonstrated: Despite significantly increasing the number of homes, based on the data available, the

    significantly increased energy efficiency of the new homes will payback the carbon emissions from constructing the planned development within approximately 16 years

    Further analysis showed that: The impacts of the construction could be lowered through reductions in embodied

    carbon. Lend Lease has implemented some of these reductions on other projects. Low and zero carbon technologies would also make the operational savings higher

    therefore reducing the time to payback the embodied carbon of the new development. Lend Lease has investigated a number of options and is expecting biomethane to be used for the CHP plant, which is likely to reduce operational carbon further

    The design team, main contractor and wider supply chain could be engaged in order to realise the carbon savings
