UK Building Consumes Same Energy As A Smart Car

The Kingsgate block of affordable housing in Chelsea by Horden Cherry Lee was completed in January of this year and, using mainly CLT, is the first-ever building to attain PEFC (forestry) certification. The timber for Kingsgate has all been PEFC-certified (Programme for the Enforcement of Certification), making this the first building in the UK, and possibly the world, with this type of recognition. 

The building’s most notable energy-saving feature is its golden solar shutters. These vertical elements help shade the window openings, but the golden tone of the PV cells were designed to match the nearby brick of older buildings, a nice touch. Architect Richard Horden also calculates that the whole building consumes around 250 kWh per day of energy, the same as driving a Smart car for an entire day. For each unit, the energy required is only around 5.8 kWh per day, the equivalent of driving a Smart car around for about half an hour.

The test is to raise the education levels without making a steadily developing interest for assets and buyer merchandise and the going with creation of toxins. Meeting this test relies on upon reorienting educational programs to address the requirement for more-maintainable generation and utilization designs.

Building an affordable housing demands high level productivity as well as creativity... It's indeed an interesting fact that the energy consumed for building a house is only around 5.8 kWh per day, the equivalent of driving a Smart car around for about half an hour. Thanks for sharing!
