The Clydebank Community Sports Hub is a new sports pavilion that provides shared facilities for local sports clubs and community groups in the Clydebank Area.
A low energy design strategy has been applied to substantially reduce CO2 emissions beyond Building Regulation requirements, while also minimise energy consumptions and associated running costs. To achieve beyond best practice performance, a passive design strategy comprising of acoustic natural ventilation louvers, high levels of fabric thermal performance and natural daylight penetration have been applied.
Furthermore, high efficiency gas fired condensing boilers and water heaters provide energy efficient and reliable hot water generation for the buildings numerous changing facilities and anticipated high usage. Heat recovery mechanical ventilation will assist in reducing the buildings space heating loads while LED lighting with occupancy and daylight dimming controls will minimise the buildings power consumption.
110m2 of roof mounted PV array provide over 19 MWh of renewable electricity per year with any surplus electricity exported to the national grid.
