SUSTAINABLE BUILDINGS, PROPERTY DEVELOPMENT AND REGENERATION
Titanic Mill
ESD is working with Kirklees Metropolitan Council and Lowry Renaissance,
a private developer to develop 130 CO2-neutral residential
apartments at a new mixed use development in West Yorkshire. Working
as energy consultants on the design team, ESD has produced a carbon
assessment of the proposed development, recommend an energy strategy
for achieving carbon neutrality and secured some of the finance
necessary to implement the project. ESD is now working to establish
Mill Energy Services, a ground-breaking small-scale commercial entity
that will own and operate the energy assets on behalf of the residents.

New Business School, Open University
At the Open University ESD worked with Jestico + Whiles architects
to develop a design for the new Business School that could match,
if not better, the performance of the Elizabeth Fry building at
the University of East Anglia which was the lowest energy non-domestic
building investigated in the Probe project. Amongst a range of services,
ESD undertook an air-tightness review of the design that led to
the building performing significantly better than the design target
of 5m3/hr/m2 at 50Pa, which in itself is twice a stringent as the
new Part L2 requirement of 10m3/hr/m2 at 50Pa.
Grahame Park, London
Grahame Park is a £450 million redevelopment of 3,400 homes
and associated community and leisure facilities in Colindale, Barnet,
North London by Choices for Grahame Park. ESD was commissioned to
develop an integrated sustainability framework for the whole site,
including a strategy for delivering affordable and sustainable energy
services to the community. ESD secured £450k capital funding
from the Community Energy Programme and is currently negotiating
with a number of potential energy service providers to partner with
Choices in the establishment of a local Energy Services Company.
Planning permission was granted in October 2004. Client: Choices
for Grahame Park (Genesis Housing Group / Notting Hill Housing Group)
Stratford City, London
Stratford City is a £4bn mixed use regeneration project in
Newham, East London on derelict former railway lands. ESD has been

strategy that responds to public policy aspirations whilst being
technically and commercially viable. This work fed directly into
detailed planning negotiations on energy performance of the development.

mixed-use development project including 2,000 homes, a variety of
commercial and retail space (10,000 sq m), a school and hotel. The

ZEN: Zero Emissions Neighbourhoods
ZEN is a European funded project which looks at producing zero emissions
neighbourhoods by integrating Renewable Energy Systems and Rational
Use of Energy into the neighbourhood. The key to ZEN is the neighbourhood
energy plan (NEP) which defines which energy systems can be incorporated
into the neighbourhood most effectively. ESD is working with two
neighbourhoods: a small section of the London Borough of Sutton
(1km2), and the entire metropolitan borough of Kirklees (400km2).
Client: London Borough of Sutton.
Maine Road, Manchester
Manchester City FC left the Maine Road site, which it had occupied
since 1923, for a new stadium built for the 2003 Commonwealth Games,
in SportCity, East Manchester. As part of a Housing Market Renewal
Pathfinder for the Salford area of Manchester, the site is to be
redeveloped to support the strategic goals of providing more and
higher quality housing into this part of Manchester.
The old stadium was demolished in 2004 and the redevelopment - Green
City - will start in 2005. ESD is working with Lowry Homes on the
scheme which includes 400 homes and the possibility of community
buildings. We are involved to ensure that the development achieves
good environmental and sustainability standards with a 'very good'
EcoHomes rating being the minimum standard for the housing component.
