For dec- ades, the equation ‘reduction = elegance’ has renained largely unquestioned among architects. Now, however, advocates of sustainable building are'making themselves heard, stating that ar- chitecture can only be fit tor the future if ‘its designers are guided by certification sys- tems that encompass long lists of detailed cri- teria. Who would not be overcome by doubt in such circumstances? On the other hand, there are the calls from those who are convinced that only one single solution is required. For example: build pas- sive houses, so that one can do without heating systems, or, building insulation is, superflu- ous, highly’ efficient heat pumps will do the job just as well. Still others believe that one shouldn't bother with the improvenent of indi- Vidual buildings and that a solution can only to be found in large-scale eneray concepts that encompass entire city districts. Most of these ‘either-or’ strategies have two aspects in common: nanely, they appeal to those who are primarily interested in saving tine, money and effort; and, more often than not, they fall short of what is actually needed. Sustainability does not need cherry-picking and one-sided optimisation, but rather a culture of feisty ‘as well as’, multi-pronged solutions. Thus, we need building insulation as well as renewable forms of energy, refurbishnent of old buiTdings as well as energy-efficient new buitd- ‘ings, solutions on the level of individual buildings as well as on the city district lev- el. We need to face up to the undeniable fact of climate change whilst still offering occu pants the comfort they need. However, we must occasionally also pose pertinent questions: Hom much comfort and how much living space per per- son are really required. How many vacant office buildings should be acceptable? When would the avoidance of building at all be the most sus- tainable solution? In brief, sustainable building is (unavoidably) a complex affair; Detail Green aims to mirror this great complexity. In this issue, there are articles on building insulation as well as on energy strategies for entire city districts; we report on the renovation of old buildings as well as on new buildings and the combinations of old and new. In this manner, we are attempt- ‘ing to do justice to the diversity and enormity of today’s building challenges and to the over~ arching questions of sustainability. Jakob SchoofON ol Lowenstein Inthe summer of 2013, the Zero Carbon Hub (ZCH) the non-governmental body that manages the efforts of the British construction industy to reach the ambi- tious zero carson goal for all new-build housing by 2016 ~ announced that ts ‘Taskforce’ timeline had changed trom ambor-tod to rad. This announcement \was tantamount to admitting that t ject wes beset with fundamental prob- lems. The re-grading was a response to the coalition govermert's long-awaited ‘announcement for the final 2018 regulato- ry tightening of Part L, the section in UK building regulations that focuses on ener- ‘gy and cthor sustainabilty-ralatad bull ing performance. The announcement postponed the target date to April 2014 ‘and reduced the tightening to a mare 6% ‘energy improvement for new-build hous- ing, rather than the anticipated 14%4, This vas just one of a range of factors where less stringent levels wore being accepted than had been anticipated, and added to the sense that reaching the zero carbon target was going to be even more chal lenging in the coming years. The response by many in the building in dustry indicated major disappointment. carbon housing - rising to lenge? Kitk Archibald, from PRP Architoots, de scribed the announcement as a “mneejerk reaction to poltical pressures,” Pete Hal sall, fom the Good Homes Alliance, ‘questioned whether 6% woul "act to stimulate the innovation industry needed,” while John Tebbit from Construction Prod: ucts Association penned an op-ed piace in the magazine Construction entitled, Not worth the wait” A few weeks later, as part of its housing review censultation, the Gavernment re leased a document proposing to aban= don a large number of sustainability requ- lations, in the name of ‘cutting through ex- ‘cess red tape’. The announcement brought a swift response from across the secter, in effect stating thet, ifthe aban- donment of sustainability regulation wont ahead, it could wel be the final nail inthe coffin of Britain's 2018 zera carton tar gets for housing. Zero carbon housing ~ the story thus far This zero carbon mission, launched in 2006, has hardly been straightforward. In- ‘deed, neutralising the carbon emissions and eneray use of residential buildings has been part of a far wider strategic shitt 20190 2 DETAIL the that aims to transfer Britain's economy on: toa lew carbon path and is legislatively enshrined in the country's 2008 Climate Change Act. This act thrust Britain to the foretront of intemational low energy tar- gets, with its legaly-binding, nationwide timetable for reducing emissions by 2030 by as much as 80% from 1990 levels, For new-build housing, a ten-year road ‘map was drawn up, envisaging three key revisions of Part L, including 2013's ‘final leap to reaching Zero carbon. Also launched was a new Code for Sustaina- bble Homes (CSH) 1 106 rating system for all buildings, with ratings becoming tougher as the Part L regulations were tightened. Considered critical by the off- Cials of sustainability policy, OSH is cur- rently part ofthe regulatory red tape at risk of being scrapped. Although the road map was initially em- braced, the recession took its toll, and from 2009) 10 the sector began to lose momentum. This was symbolised by the continuing difficulty in defining Zero C: ‘bon, a problem right from the outset. “There's certainly been a change in def- nition, and a scaling back of the ambition of the policy from what it was in 2006, stated Jo Wheeler, a senicr policy adviser at the UK Green Building Counail, one of the wide range of o-ganisations that ‘emerged in the aftermath of the original policy announcements. "The recession has meant that people have retreated, but ithas galvanised an avdul lot of change in the industry.” Indeed, the last five years has witnossod considerable changa, with the completion of many experimental houses, This includes large scale tests such as BRE’s 2007 ‘Oftsite'at Garston, orth of Landon, where high-volume resh dentia-builders ~ some working with ar- Cchitectural practices - showcased pro- spective zero carbon homes bull for lass than £60,000.

The site also features allotments, Fonds and orchards, a cycle path and odestrian access route onto the site that previously housed a hospital. Rory Bor gin, HTA’s head of sustainability believes that Hanfiam Hall is “a mainstream hous- ing complex,..tying to satisty the desires, ofthe community”.

Another once renowned project, Green- wich Millennium Village in London, is just beginning its last phase of house building after a 5-year pause.

For instances, Alison Brooks, the Canadian-born archi- tect, well known within UK architecture circles for her specialist housing practice, exclaims frustration at the altitude of many developers towards raising stand- ards at both dosign as well as ai sustain ability level.

In 2008, the agricultural ministry of Upper Austia cided on their merger and launchied an EU-wide architectural ‘competition. From the outset, the competition brief outlined im- fortant ecolagieal aims for the new school: the building shoul achieve Passive House Standard; timber should be used as a preferred building material; and construction materials as well as {ranewablo} anor gins should ba regionally sourced as far as possible.

The surrounding views have also been ex- perly handled by the architects: the long corrcors allow cross ugh the and out into the landscape. In the classrooms along the east facade, the height of the wincow- sills was carefully designed so that, whan seated, the students, can see the mountain panorama, but not the neighbouring build- ings. The seminar rooms and staff rooms are only separated from the corridors by full height glazed screens. If dasired, semi ‘vansparent blinds can provide addtional privacy. Similar — but extornally mounted ~ rollor blinds are used for shading the win dows, skylights and the glazed facade to the inner courtyard. The construction ~ a timber-steel-conerete composite Despite its timber exterior, the agricultural centre is not a true timber building. A composite thermal insulation system with min. eral foam insulation boards was applied to the solid facades of the existing building.

The ‘construction cl the two upper floors consists of a rather eclectic combination of materials, which were selected according to thelr ‘uctural properties. Sold timber walls provide stifening, and teel supports and steel-concrete composite supports provide the load-bearing structure, The facades wore prefabricated aa timber-frame elements, which are insulated with cellulose. ‘The upper floor construction is a timber-concrete composite floor slab.

According te Stephan Kattheier of Planungsbire e-plus, the ‘greatest challenge in the design of the ventilation system was the wide variety of uses. Dormitories, classrooms, activity rooms and schoo! kitchen all have differant requiremonts for air change rates, permissible noise levels, as well as special functions like {grease collection and odour avoidance. In the end, a semi-con- tral ventilation system, comprising 13 individual ventilation units, \was installed. These are located in two technical rooms en the lower and upper floors. In both cases air intake and oullot oo- curs directly through the root. Air ducts throughout the building are mostly accommodated within the suspended ceilings, In summer, rooms are cooled by nighttime ‘air flushing’ In addi- 2019.0 2 DETAMG-en tion, the ventilation units {and in some rooms also the underfloor heating) are connected via heat exchangers to earth absoroer registers beneath the building in which a brine solution is crcu- lated, In this way the cool ground temperature can be used to regulate room temperatures in the building.

Instead of @ having a drinks vending machine, there is a uice bar in the canteen, whers the students can pour DETAM Green 2019.02 «a froe juice made with their own in-house produce. Interestingly, there is no schoo! clock to alert the students back to lessons after break tine: instead Its left up to the studants, themselves, to be punctual. One often meets students sitting on the timber oars or even walking around the building barefoct, which would normally be unthinkable in 2 concrete building. ‘The symbiotic relationship between the architecture and the (complex) programma is the result of a close working retation- ship batwaen the school administration and the architects, which comprised detailed briefings regarding the required functions! and quality parameters for each room. Hence it was also poss- ble to avoid cast overruns. Even thaugh one construction com- ppany wont into bankruptcy and the price of building materials sharply increased during the construction process, construction costs (including fit out and professional fees) remained within the original net budget of 28 Millon Euro. 11 Acongor no told wing neudualoridgoe lad too oars at ‘ace tre couryare Dayightcan pence betyaen erate way down Mielower foo” 12 S2ron! bry on he unper fooe. tho oval spsc0s noise ny bookeheNe {Glazed sips sopra he bookshelves tm th oor and the clr, 18.

Designed by the famed arch tect, Richard Meier, the new-build is situated directly adjacent to the motorway that links Milan fo Venice. It also marks the entrance to the industrial estate, II Kilemetro Rosso, with a concrete roof that cantilevers almost 19 metros out from the building. Tho site lies in close proximity to Haly's fourth largest airport, Orio al Serio; lternative- ly the 120 employees of the research, Innovation and marketing apartments can catch a local bus to and from work. The exter cr landscape of the building, comprising an area af 1.8 hac: {ares, has boon planted with indigenous species from the Ber- ‘gamo area. These include some rare types of ancient fruit tees, and varieties of maize crops, which are being cultivated by co- ‘operatives from the Siow Food Movement. Research laboratory for ecology and aesthetics Enrico Sealchi, vice president for innovations at Italcement, ists three features that characterise the new-build: sustainability, innovation and aesthatics. As a founding member of the Green Building Council italia, which aims to establish the American LEED rating systom in aly, it was only appropviate ‘or the cliert {o strivo for @ LEED Platinum corificate The i.lab primarily focuses on innovations in the field of material technology. The company researches new binders that can ro- place Portland cement (which is energy-intensive to produce), Rew concrete mixtures with added features, such as transparen cy and self-cleaning properties, as well as products for the maintenance and repair of concrete. Furthermore, the new bulld ing is dosigned as a place for knowledge exchange and com: munication between architects, engineers and university aca- domics. The architectural aosthetic of the building was assigned to Rich- ard Meter and his tear. The Pritzker prizewinning architect was, ‘commissioned to design the new headquarters after having. \worked with the client on the church Dives In Misericordia, Inau- gurated in 2003, in a suburb on the autskins of Rome. ‘The V-shaped building consists of three components: a deep office and laboratory wing alongside the motorway, a narrow structure with a lecture hall, a conference room to the east and a double-volume entrance foyer connecting the two wings. With a floor arsa of 23,000 square metres, the building provides suff lent space for a maximum of 180 employees. Its low height is somewhat deceptive as the bulk of the headquartars Is located underground. The two lavols above ground are supplementod by three further levels below ground. The first subterranean level receives natural daylight through the southern, western and rnorthem elevations via sunken couryards. The basement levels ‘mainly accommodate large laboratories where physical concrete tests can be undertaken, a subterranean car park, as well as the conte building services infrastructure, Interior space with a focus en daylight Those who are more farniliar with the distinct architecture of Richard Meiers older buildings may not immediately eecognise lab as 2 typical Meier design. However, the interior, spacious: double-volume entrance foyer, 's more typical of Meier's work: to the loft ofthe entrance hall, a double-fight ramp accompanied by two linear skylights leads up to the first floor. The lofty, round columns, daylight penetrating from all angles and, above all, the white finishes are urmmistakeable cluas to the authorship of the new-build. According to Richard Meier, he utilises white in his buildings so that the occupants can batter porceiva tha shadow play and changing colour hues of daylight; they are a device to ‘oxperience nature. Inside his building here in Bergarno, there is DETAM Green 2019.02 1 Elevason arte Southor face wth inten couryard ae wna iomere wicecentoveres et 2 view from the ramp beyond the motarway and the town to the rising foothills of the Alps.

In adcition, all rooms are separated by floor-to-ceiling glass partitions, thus even affording exterior views onto the land scape from the centre of the building, ‘The five facades: showcase shaving and earthquake protection Allin all, the architects have used five different facade types for the jab building, The choices were partly driven by functional concems and parly by purely aesthatical motives. For instance, massive, horizontal, white concrete louvres have been pos82 OFfcwane labersry bulking in Bergamo tioned on the shaded northom facade, prosumably to lassen the ‘somewhat monctonous appearance of the building from this perspective The sun-exposed southem facade, on the other hand, features a deep roof averhang and large exterior- mounted, ficed metal lou- vres to provide shading during summer. The narrowest side of the building to the west is distinguished by a further characteris- tic Richard Meior slomont: a wall panol suspendad from the roof consisting of prefabricated concrete elements that are mounted conto a steel substructure. This panel provides shading, but also thas an anti-seismic function. In the event of an earthquake, the panel starts to swing back and forth, thereby courterbalancing the vibrations in the structure, Heat protection during the winter months was also a major con- sideration in the facade construction: the northern facade Is the only facade that's triple-glazeds on all the remaining facades, double glazing with a low-E coating suftices to reduce the ene ‘ay demand of the building and meet target levels. The most noteworthy facade construction is in the entranee foyer and the ‘access zone to the conference wing. Here, the facade supports are made from post-tensioned concrete elements. The horizontal rmullons in the facade are also made of conerete, whilst alumini- 2019.0 2 DETAMG-en um has only been ullised in the exterior clamping profilas. The facade elements ~ ike all the prefabricated, white concrete parts in the building ~ have a photocatalytic effect, so that they are able to transform harmful ai pollutants (e.g. NO,) into harnless ‘compounds when exposed to sunlight. This effect has an impor- tant added benefit for Richard Meier's white architecture as it delays the discolouration of concrete caused by alr pollution. ‘The roof projactions ars constructed with profabricated conerate elements with areas of up to 80 square mates each. Huge pre- stressed concrete cantilever beams, fted to the upper side of the elements, are anchored back into the bullding’s primary structure. As the concrete parts tend to deform due to creep, the root beams wil have to be post-tansioned approximately thro years after completion.

Ita young family wants te ouy a hhouse in Munich, they either have to have a lot of capital, or they hhave to be lucky enough to find a property that they can reno- vate themselves. The Munich-basad architects, Stefan Kretsch and Ruth Klingelhdfer-Kratsch came across a property advert on the Internet in 2007, which was exactly such a stroke of good. luck: a singla-family dweling, compisiod in 1956, on the south €efn outskirts of Munich, which was on the market for a reasona- ble price. it was the time of the US sub-prime property crisis, and the owner had failed in his attempt to replace the existing building with a small residential black. Housing stock in the surrounding suburb, like so many other districts in Garmany, had been built in the postwar era mainly by the residents them- selves using cheap construction materials. The houses were ‘modest, whilst te plets, on the other hand, were generous. The land surrounding the houses was allocated to growing fruit and vegetables so that the residents could feed themselves in times of crisis, The house in Riedaner Street, with its three apartment Units arranged on two full storeys and an attic level, was one of the larger properties in the street. Having remained almost unal- {ered from its original condition, it was actualy intended to be demolished. Around a decade ago, the former residents hac replaced the windows with new, more aitight ones with PVC. {ramos; however, they faled fo add insulation at the same timo, “The resuit was a lack of air exchange, resuiting in condensation and, hence, mould throughout the building. A first, the new owners had only intended to renovate what was absolutely necessary at the time, reports Stefan Krétsch. But the ‘poor condition of the building-services, in particular, made it in- ‘evitable that a full refurbishment had to be considered. The house and sito cost €320,000 and tho refurbishment a furthar ‘€180,000. This included endless hours of work, which the cli- cents had to invest themselves. However, thanks to thek inves ment, the house almost meets Passive House standards now. Interestingly, the ambltious energy goal wes the trigger for the foasibilty study cf a full refurbishment: the city of Munich con- tributed €15,000 within the context of a subsidy programme and the partly state-owned development bank, KIMI, granted a low interest mortgage of €150,000. The clert only has to repay 80% of the loan as the German energy agency (DENA) has acquired the building as one of its pilot projects for eneray efficient refur- bishment, The agency has agreed to finance the remaining 20% of the loan on condition that the energy consumption of the building is monitored and evaluated during the three years fo: lowing completion. Screwed instead of gluod: the new polyethylene fabric skin ‘The aim of achieving maximum energy efficiency and a high {quality of living on a tight budget set the parameters for the de sign.

Besides, the intention was that all components, as far as possible, be low-maintenance and detachable. This ccortainly applies to the PE fabric: if an area gots torn, it can sim ply be replaced and recycled. This material is frequently used in agriculture and horiculture where its usually found in various shades of green.

The plasterwors on the Interior was not sulted to this end as it was riddled with holes due to the many cables and floor joists that penetrate the walls. ‘The new larch-framed windows are Yiple-glazed and place ino the layer of insulation infront cf the existing walls. In order to reduce costs, the architects used used opening sashes only where they were absolutely nacessary. Mast of the fixed alazing, Including the large window that faces out onto the street, was produced by a local joiner using L-shaped larch sections onto Which the triple glazing was fixed using aluminium cover pro- files, Afar more expensive post-and-rail facade construction, ‘supplied by a brand manutacturer and suitable to meet Passive House standards, was only used for the large glazed areas to the garden and for the large, south-facing skylight. Open spaces versus smal rooms rier to the rturbishment, the lower levels ofthe house had each accommodated a tireeoom apartment. Te fst floor apartment stl etains this plan layout. The new overs com bined the two units to form a spacious maisonette. The root periment is curently rentod out; however in the medium-term, the family will no Goubt utilise this space as well. The owners \wore particularly keen to creata large communal areas that have ‘small niches where family members could retreat. The dimen- sions of the bedrooms on the frst flor, on the other hand, have ‘been retained and have nct been enlarged. The single-storey extensien on the garden side of the building had to accomma- date a now deck. ts substructure is constructed with discarded timber beams from the rect of the house. A second, slightly higher torrace extends across tho front ofthe house and ena- bles the resi- dents to view beyond the thuja hedge and to chat to their neighbours on the sveet. Both outdoor spaces share the same level wth the adjoining ‘ground flor rooms. The architects shifted the former height diference between the garden and the raised ground floor into the interior space. Cushioned seating steps now separate the higher-lovl dining area from the lower-level living area. Here, the original concrete flor siab to the cellar was replaced by a naw tinber-beam floor with 24-centimetre-thick mineral-woo! in- ulation. A hal-height unit with combined seating and storage space, stretches across the south wall and links the two areas opiicaly. The bulk ofthe built-in fumiture, including the dining DETAM Green 2019.02 tabla, was mado by the client and his brother using baech and larch wood. The two brothers also built the nrrow stairway which leads from the living room up to a gallery workspace an the first floor. Here, a large window with fixed glazing provides a view out onto the street and allows daylight from the west 10 penetrate down into the open living area below. The dining area, however, Is not visible from the street. The architects used the large opanings to avoid one of the unfavourable fects of enar- Qy efficiency refurbishment: wthout enlarging the windows, the deeper reveals and coated triple glazing might well have de- ‘creased the amount of daylight received in the interior space by ‘as much as around 30%.

However, his principle of making use af ex- isting building stock wherever possible s also evidence of the architects cost-saving and ecological awareness. An example is the main staircase in the northwest corner of the building, which stil exudes the air cf its past: stals with wellavorn treads and rickoty handrail that lead up to the raised ground tloor. Fromm here, the original timber staircase, which has only been sanded down, leads up into the loft apartment, The roof situcture does net mast today’s building requirements, but has already served well for the last 55 years and should therefore be able to do so {for a fow more decades. However, on the advice of the structural engineer, Krétsch exchanged the old root ties for ight, coru- gated fibre-cement root shzats, The architect also removed the collar beams trom the roof to create more space. AS with so. mn = = on many other things, he did this work himsolf, Two new stoe! beams support the roof structure. In order to reduce the enve- lope surface area and thus the heat loss, the two dormers on the north and south side of the roof were connected te form a larger single opening on either side. ‘Simple and fewle: the buloing-services concept Inordor to keap the building-sorvices straightforward and to a minimum, the architects were particularly careful in planning the thermal protection system, All the thermal bridges were calculat- ‘ad by a specialist so that two energy balances were fulflled: one accerding to the German DIN standard in erder to obtain the en- ‘ergy certificate, and the other according to the Passive House Planning Package (PHPP), The later resulted in an excellent heat demand value for a refurbishment, i.e, 20 KWh/m®a; only marginally above the level of a newly buit Passive House. Originally the family had only intended to use a gas boiler to supply heat and demestic hot water. However, Munich's funding programme fer solar thermal energy had been a great incentive to ullise solar eneray. A six-square-metre solar thermal plant was theretare installed on the south-facing side of the roct above the dormer window to supply approximately half ofthe het water demand. Furthermore, the clients decided to forgo the nstalla tion of a separate hot water circulation pipe. Thus, itis r ‘sary to wait before hot water runs out ofthe taps. This small di advantage was mitigated by the fact that this one measure duced the energy demand to provide hot water by one third, ‘The vertical mains are accemmadated in a shaft between the bathrooms and the staircase. The diameters do net alter throughout the entire height, which means thet the heating plant ‘can easily bo relacated down into the basement, for exams, if ground sou t pump is installed at a later date, A wall nounted heating system, incorporated inta the partition walls of the hall, is used to transfor the heat to the rooms. Due to the high insulation standards, the small area of this system is neverthe- loss sufficient to provide cornfertable temperatures within the building. Cold airdrop on the exterior walls Is unlikely owing to tho excellent thermal insulation. Horizontal vertilation ducts have been integrated in the sus- pended cellings in the halls to supply fresh air to the lving ‘oomns and bedrooms; waste air is extracted from the guest tol let, the kitchen and the bathroom. Olpviously, the hause ean al so be aired by simply opening the windows. According to the clients and architects, this \s especially effective in summer due to the stack offect in tho uppar roorns. The supply of cool, night time air, 5 well as the shading devices on the large windows, holp to prevent the interior space from overheating on hat days, ‘The only thing Krotsch regrets is not having installed automatic shade controls.

Nevertheless, a battery will help to racuce the running costs as the rate of personal use can thus be raise. At present, the costs for small customary (lea accumulators) house battories (approx. 8 kiN) are equivalent to about 500 € per kWh battery capacity. This corresponds to an investment of about 20 to 25 €/m per net floor area. Costs are ‘expected to drop to 350 € per KlVh storage capacity once mass production has been established Meanwhile, eysters using efficient ithium-ion batteries remain far more expensive. The current price for this type of accumula tor is around 1000 euros per kiWh. To ensure cost-optimal opera: tion, the integration ofthe battery in the electric system must be ‘accompanied by the installation of an energy-mmanagemant sys- tem including smart meters, additional rectifiers and inverters, as network and consumers are operated with aitemating current, while photovoltaic systems and batteries run on direct current, Which requires the conversion of electricity depending on the re- ‘spective transfor situation.

Fegarding the buildings erected in 2012, and the applicable foed-in tarif then in force, it was possible to reduce the operat ing costs to zero €/a in an efficiency-house plus which pro- duced only slightly more solar power than the amount of electric ty required, The calculation of this improvement was based on the applicable remuneration for self-consumption that was paid in Germary until last year ard the asseciated feed in tari. With PV arrays increasing in size, negative operating costs, emerged, thereby actually creating revenues. Additional invest rmonts in the order of 230 to 825 €/'n? would thus save annual ‘operating costs of 18 €/m?. This corresponded to a static amort- sation period of 120 18 years, In 2013, however, zero or negative operating costs can no long- er be achieved without the installation ofa battery ifthe PV array ‘only produces slightly more electricity than is consumed in the house.
