Design Principles:

The Pavilion has been designed in accordance with Sport England advice, in particular Design Guidance note: Pavilions and Clubhouses
The building has been designed with DDA requirements in mind and will comply to Building Regulations Approved Document M: Access to and use of buildings
The project will seek to improve the energy efficiency and carbon footprint of the existing building by:
Introducing water saving measures, including low flow rate fittings to washbasins and showers, with new toilet systems that will be dual flush
Including solar thermal hot water collectors to the south facing roof slope to provide hot water for showers and reduce the reliance on gas fired boiler
Replacing the existing boiler with a new, highly efficient gas condensing boiler
Adding/replacing radiators, each fitted with it’s own thermostatic radiator valve, that will supply space heat to occupied spaces. This heat will come from the solar thermal tank, topped up if necessary by the gas fired boiler
Replacing all lighting and specifying new lighting that will have low energy fittings, with PIR sensors to rooms to ensure that lights are switched off when the building is unoccupied.
Utilising modern timber frame construction with high levels of insulation and airtightness to ensure fabric heat loss is kept to a minimum
Using local contractors and ensuring that quality control and maintenance of site waste is managed stringently
The building takes into consideration the local planning policy and the rural nature of it’s context and is designed to respondto that through it’s size, scale, aesthetic and the use of materials that are sensitive to it’s location.
