Chiel Boonstra A Dwelling Project Gallions Ecopark, London Environmental design in practice
Gallions Ecopark Objectives Demonstrate replicable sustainable homes for social housing Pragmatic and convincing concepts, based on Dutch examples Dutch architecture in UK context Jan Splinter Architects - Netherlands
From concept to reality
Environmental characteristics Strong architecture / timber frame Good insulation (U = 0,25 W/m2K) Advanced glazing (U = 1.1) Individual condensing gas boilers Low temperature heating Solar thermal collectors for DHW facade cladding: Slates Solar design Ventilation strategies Water efficient showers + taps, rainwater butts
Ecopark Concepts A > small houses, passive solar + sunspaces at entrance façade B > single family houses, underfloor heating and heat recovery C > large single family houses, passive solar + sunspaces, preheating D > single family houses, rainwater harvesting, natural ventilation
