The project at 40 Chorlton Street Manchester is a rooftop extension on a former cotton warehouse and the 2-story extension creates 8 new hotel apartments.

Interesting Infographics on carbon emissions across the UK, well done Ipswich for having the lowest CO2 emissions per person in a city.

#PartL session this morning at #Futurebuild. That Peter chap from government seemed genuinely surprised that lots and lots of people had bothered to respond to the consultation. Timeline seems to have gone from 2020 to ‘some time in the near future’ due to extra homework.

Check out article by @ollywainwright on the proposed part L regulations mentioning @LETI_London and @ArchitectsCAN At the moment, our regulations simply aim for a ‘percentage better than bad'- this has to change. theguardian.com/artanddesign…

Great summary of the problems of the Future Homes Standard. Despite the hype, regs for low carbon buildings are going backward at a crucial time. Respond to the consultation via @LETI_London or @CIBSE: cibsejournal.com/opinion/why…

The leadership on low carbon construction has come from devolved authority in recent years. It's vital we don't remove the ability for local authorities to take the national conversation forward. Respond to @LETI_London via the link below. #zerocarbon #constructionuk
Local authorities will be stripped of their powers to set local carbon targets for new homes under #PartL consultation - have your say! the @LETI_London response and key messages are available for all to use leti.london/part-l

An amazing event today challenging sustainability and how we need to deliver it..
Good comment from @nigel_eckersall @Quattro_Design at @LondonBuildExpo - We shouldn’t be talking about increased costs for building to ‘eco’ or #Passivhaus standards - these, better standards should be considered the norm to ensure sustainability in the built environment.

Calling modellers:
MHCLG are asking for evidence of any activity or parameters within the SBEM activity database that you can demonstrate are unrealistic? They'd like evidence and suggestions for what the activity/parameters should be revised to?

Embodied carbon makes up between half and three-quarters of a new building’s lifetime carbon emissions - through material sourcing and production, transport and construction, maintenance etc. BREEAM is one of the few UK tools looking at this seriously: buff.ly/2F3rCQq
