Rolton were appointed to provide mechanical and electrical design delivering an energy efficient (net zero carbon) scheme for this prestigious development for Inspired Villages Group (IVG).

The building is a NZC (Regulated Energy) development following the lean and green philosophy.  Ensuring the development achieved the NZC demands whilst delivering commercially was key for the client, and during initial project scoping discussions, we developed a revised design, moving away from partial ground source heat pump technology (GSHP) supported with gas, to an innovative, high temperature solution.  This removed the requirement for any gas used for heating resulting in savings of approx. 200% compared to traditional gas heating solutions significantly reducing IVG’s carbon footprint.

Our strategic energy team also provided a comprehensive masterplan-level energy strategy, design of site wide public utility supply infrastructure and a performance design package including specifications, room data sheets and drawing pack.

Forecasting the energy demand and consumption of the development allowed our team to provide a detailed scope identifying the most appropriate technology to facilitate this, including switching from a Distribution Network Operator (DNO) to an independent DNO.
