£10.9m project to reduce carbon emissions

Oxford council’s target to become a Zero Carbon Council

This job is a part of the council’s target to become a Zero Carbon Council across its own estate and operations by 2030, as the leisure centres are responsible for around 40% of current building carbon emissions.

We are proud to be working alongside Oxford City Council

Richard Poulter (Managing Director from Willmott Dixon’s Central South region): “We are proud to be working alongside Oxford City Council on this exciting carbon reduction project, which will deliver a step change in the mitigation of fossil fuels in the local community.

Committed to achieving net zero operational carbon on all our new buildings

The programme is close to our heart and through our own 2030 ‘Now or Never’ Sustainability strategy, we have committed to achieving net zero operational carbon on all our new buildings and major refurbishments within the next decade.”

What is the role of natural lighting in sustainable building design?

The role of natural lighting in sustainable building design is pivotal, offering numerous benefits such as enhanced energy efficiency, improved occupant comfort and health, and reduced environmental impact. By decreasing reliance on artificial lighting, natural light can cut energy consumption by up to 40%, thereby lowering electricity bills and carbon emissions. Additionally, natural light supports circadian rhythms, boosts mood, and increases productivity, all while providing superior visual comfort. Architects can maximise these advantages through strategic orientation, thoughtful window placement, and the use of reflective surfaces, integrating natural light with other sustainable design elements for optimal results.
