1 | 100 | 0.05 | 2.6 | Passive chilled beams or displacement systems |
2 | 200 | 0.10 | 2.6 | Active chilled beams |
3 | 300 | 0.15 | 2.6 | Low-capacity fan coil units or all air system |
4 | 400 | 0.20 | 2.6 | High-capacity fan coil units but with poorer building energy performance |
Ìý | Description | Cost/m² | Comments |
A | Unitised curtain wall, high- performance coated glass sealed units with G-value of 0.25, solid spandrel panels | £650/m² | Based on table above, this solution will not achieve compliance and will require additional solar control measures |
A1 | Unitised curtain wall, as described in A, but 50% solid panels in addition to spandrel panels | £750/m² | Should be capable of achieving G-values of 0.15 and 0.20, possibly with less dark high-performance glass, thus cost-effective |
A2 | Unitised curtain wall, high- performance coated glass sealed units with G-value of 0.25, solid spandrel panels | £800/m² | Should be capable of achieving G-values of 0.15 and 0.20, possibly with less dark high-performance glass, thus cost-effective |
A3 | Unitised curtain wall, as described in A, but with external brise soleil (horizontal blades to south, vertical to east and west) | £850/m² | Should be capable of accommodating a G-value of 0.10, including high-performance glass |
B | Unitised curtain wall, as described in A2, but with greater density of brise-soleil for improved solar shading Unitised “externally” ventilated cavity double wall facade, with cavity depth about 100mm. This solution does not require mechanically conditioned air in the cavity. Wider walk-in cavity facades attract a cost premium | £1100/m² | This option comprises motorised venetian blinds within the cavity, which requires electrical and BMS supply. For a 3.8m storey height and no spandrels, a minimum G-value of 0.10 should be achieved with blinds closed |
