This BioRegional Quintain/ Crest Nicholson development has been designed to be Zero Carbon through a combination of good thermal design and on- and off-site renewable generation technologies; including a central biomass boiler to provide space heating and hot water, on-site photovoltaic panels and electricity from new capacity REGO-certified sources. The energy demand has also been reduced with a very highly thermally efficient building envelope, energy efficient lights, fittings and appliances. The impact of the entire build has been minimised: The lean concrete frame uses high recycled steel reinforcement, 50% cement replacement [Ground Granulated Blastfurnace Slag – GGBS] and 100% recycled or secondary aggregate. This material is a by-product of the china clay industry and was previously part of the waste stream. Please bring site shoes (with metal toe cap) if possible and definitely socks! If you don't have these, please let us know your shoe size when booking so that we can ensure there are enough boots available on site.
