Article submitted by Futurebuild Gilberts screens low-carbon student accommodation
Air movement specialist Gilberts is playing a discreet role in helping University of Birmingham develop its fi rst ever net zero carbon student accommodation. The Pritchatts Park Residence Project sees refurbishment of existing and building of new sustainable residences for students. Central to the Project is Pritchatts House, a fi ve-storey block of 21 fl ats for 163 students, with its building services provided via rooftop air source heat pumps and solar panels, the latter generating energy for the whole complex. To minimise visual and acoustic impact on the environment, the plant is concealed behind a 2 metre high by 35 metre long acoustic louvre screen. Designed, manufactured and supplied by Gilberts Blackpool, the screen has been installed by Steane Ltd as part of its M&E contract with Project manager Equans. Gilberts worked closely with Steane Ltd to develop the most effective solution, advising its ALS/15 single bank louvre, produced in sections up to 3 metres long to enable craning onto the roof. Only 150 mm deep, the ALS/15 still attains a visual free ventilation area of 50% with weighted SRI (sound reduction index) of 10 dBA.
