MONODRAUGHT Sunpipes Help Durham Store Extension Achieve 10%
Energy Reduction For The Whole Building
According to the UK Green Building Council, existing buildings
account for 17% of the UK's total carbon emissions and need to be in
the front line of our efforts to tackle climate change. Taking up
the challenge, leading supermarket Sainsbury's has discovered a way
to make its Durham store 50% larger, while reducing the amount of
energy it uses by 10%.
The reduction has been brought about by using a number of
technologies including onsite renewable power generation,
ground-breaking refrigeration technology and the installation of
sixty-three Monodraught Sunpipe natural daylight systems. As the
combination of technologies makes the energy efficiency of the
building so much higher, Sainsbury’s claims the carbon generated in
building the extension itself will be neutralised after just two
years.
Commenting for the UK Green Building Council, chief executive Paul
King says: "By 2019 all new commercial developments will have to be
zero carbon, yet while it is essential that we build the most
efficient new buildings, the real challenge lies in the 98% that are
already in use. Sainsbury’s is leading by example with its
ground-breaking Durham store, showing that it is possible to
increase the size of a store and still reduce net carbon emissions."
Sainsbury's property director Neil Sachdev, who has previously
described Monodraught Sunpipes as providing ‘amazing natural light’,
says: "We regard this extension as a great feat and a sign of things
to come.”
A total of sixty-three Sunpipes were supplied and installed by
Monodraught including nineteen of the company’s recently launched
1000mm Diamond Dome models, which are fitted in the extension’s
double-height sales areas. These larger Sunpipes are designed
specifically to meet the demand for higher lux levels in the UK and
mainland Europe, where buildings such as retail outlets, sports
centres and warehouses are increasingly being designed with ceiling
heights of 12 metres or more.
Other Sunpipes installed in the Durham extension include
thirty-three 530mm Diamond Dome models in the customer restaurant
and eleven 450mm models – six in the staff canteen, one in a meeting
room and four in general and management offices.
Explaining the contribution Sunpipes make to sustainable building,
Monodraught managing director Tony Cull says: “Energy efficiencies
result from reductions in ’operational carbon’ – for example CO2
emissions from the electricity used for lighting – and ‘embodied
carbon’, which relates to the energy used in construction. The
benefits are both economic and environmental, since using less
energy means lower operational costs and lower CO2 emissions.
Sunpipes, which are energy free, are classified as ‘embodied
carbon’.”
