£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.”

How do SAP Calculations factor in different types of mechanical ventilation?

SAP calculations meticulously evaluate the energy efficiency of dwellings, with a focus on various types of mechanical ventilation systems, including centralised and decentralised systems. Centralised Mechanical Ventilation and Heat Recovery (MVHR) systems are assessed based on their thermal performance and installation location, while Specific Fan Power (SFP) test measurements are adjusted to better reflect real-world installations. Decentralised Mechanical Extract Ventilation (dMEV) systems are evaluated for aerodynamic performance, with improved test data in recent SAP updates ensuring accurate assessments. Efficiency and integration with other building components, such as insulation and renewable technologies, are critical factors, helping to reduce energy consumption and improve overall building performance.
