Excellence

4. Goal – win the 35th
America’s Cup

5. Team Base
Bring together
•Designers
•Sailors
•Business support
•Comms and marketing
•Shore team
Make a statement about design, technology and sustainability

6. Design brief
Design office - boat assembly – sailors
briefing – gym – drying room – showers
comms - business-support - meeting rooms
– design office - IT server room - sponsors
hospitality - education – visitor centre -
canteen – launch area – crane operations-
inspire – high performance –
Flexibility -- Legacy – Sustainability
Circular Economy

7. sustainability - circular economy – life cycle impact – zero carbon
What does that mean?
Reduce the impact
-Materials – type, quantity and location
-Energy and water
-Use ‘carbon’ as the measure of impact?
Where is the impact?
-Construction
-Operation
-Deconstruction/ End of Life
84% of total carbon output from operational phase of a
typical commercial building using ISO14040 standard
(Hue 2010)
Avoid linear approach but focus on big impact. What is the driver? Carbon? Materials? Resource?
Sustainability – Circular Economy

8. • Local support
• Local Planning Authority
• Project design team
• LRBAR team
• BIM approach – coordinated by architect
Collaboration

9. BREEAM
Excellent set as a
planning
condition
Submitted to BRE
for approval but
this will be the
first BREEAM
excellent building
in Portsmouth
BREEAM

10. Construction
• Challenge on small site
• Access
• Time frame
• Funding
• 209 additional piles
• The steel frame structure
• 28m tall
• three floors stacked above a
triple-height workshop space.
• crane girders running across the
three bays capable of carrying
boats of up to 30 tonnes each.
• rails on which containers can be
wheeled into the building and
stacked on top of each other
98% all demolition, excavation
and construction waste diverted from
landfill
78% waste was reused and
recycled on site
20% sent offsite for recycling
Exemplary BREEAM credits

12. Materials : High recycled content – minimum site waste – end of life solutions
Steelwork 100% recyclable – cellular
beams
– column free open layout future use and
changes to interior
Wall cladding 100% recyclable – 70%
improvement in air permeability
Concrete plinths – 100% recyclable – 80%
secondary sourced product – no mains water
Glazing 80% light transmission – 12% light
reflection – reduce energy consumption
Insulation – zero ozone depletion potential
– low GWP

13. Operational
Low energy - energy
efficiency - renewables
•432 solar panels 130 MW/yr
•100% renewable electricity
•BMS – 15 separate monitoring points
•Motion sensors
•Water saving
•LED lighting
•Staff travel
•Ecology

14. Post-occupancy performance
• Use
• Design
• Performance
• Improvement

15. • Operational and maintenance
tool
• Drive further efficiency and
understanding of the building
• Link to BMS, sensors, people, use
• Life cycle planning tool for legacy
and end of life
BIM challenge – asset management

16. Building – as
designed:
BIM model
Environmental
performance
VOCs
Internal ‘climate’
Gas/ Electric/ Solar
consumption
Weather
IT – phones/
laptops
Internal comms/
interactions
Efficiency of M&E
equipment
Team performance/
satisfaction
Building
performance
People:
Where,
quantity,
activity
Other equipment
People
BIM model
BMS system
CISCO IT management
Sustainability reporting ……….. information to drive performance

17. Raising the BAR – the whole picture
Team Base – BREEAM Excellent - Building performance evaluation
ISO20121 – 1st
sports team to achieve sustainability standard
Life cycle assessment of Race Boat – drive manufacturing efficiency
Docking RIBs – 70 apprentices – 20% carbon saving – alternative materials
Research projects on life cycle/ composites/ sustainable materials
Virtual chase boat – utilize technology to reduce carbon impact
Concept low emissions chase boat – target 50% reduction
Pilot project for Solent Oyster restoration
Awareness raising - Solent Oyster restoration project – No Single Use Plastic –
100%Sport – AC35 Teams - SmartClubs
Influence marine industry – new standards - procurement
