Information needs Primitive materials Survey
About:
What types of information will help you to confidently choose ‘primitive’ bio-based materials in your projects?
- BIM (Building Information Modelling) data (attached to BIM ready CAD Models)
- LCA (Life Cycle Assessment) or EPD (Environmental Product Declaration) data
- Embodied Energy, Embodied Carbon, Sequestered Carbon data
- Material properties, performance characteristics and appropriate applications
- Elemental assemblies with all the components determined for you (Building Regulations ready)
- Readymade Specifications
At what scale do you want the above question’s information about?
- Materials
- Products
- Systems
- Elemental Assemblies
- Whole buildings
What levels of energy performance do you want?
- Building Regulations (BR) Approved Document L sign off upon completion and no more
- BRADL + Zero Carbon Hub (ZCH)’s Performance Gap overcome
- Post-Grenfell plus x years level of competencies (its not just about fire)
- Passivhaus (PH) (D) & EnerPHit (PH Retrofit) (=Super E (Canada) Minergie (CH))
- CarbonLite (CL) (AECB interpretation of PH for UK) and CL Retrofit (CLR)
- AECB (Silver Gold or Platinum)
- BREEAM (Excellent or Outstanding)
- LEED (Silver Gold or Platinum)
What response to Climate Change?
- Building Regulations (BR) sign off upon completion and no more
- BREEAM + Green Guide to Specification (GGtS) (Less Violet not Green)
- Zero Ozone Depletion Potential (Despite international treaty thresholds for developing countries)
- Zero Global Warming Potential (not 5)
- Zero Climate Change Potential (not 5)
- Low embodied energy
- Low embodied carbon
- High Sequestered carbon
- Permaculture (Green, healthy and in tune with nature)
What Response to health and wellbeing?
- Building Regulations (BR) sign off upon completion and no more
- BREEAM + Green Guide to Specification (GGtS) (Less Violet not Green and not particularly healthy)
- Good Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) (material choices or ventilation)
- Chemicals, Synthetic and Plastic-free
- PVC-free
- Allergen-free
- Well (Health and Wellbeing) (USA)
- Sentinal Haus (IAQ) Tested insitu
