Introducing Sustainability into UK fire stations
Introduction
– Significance of Fire Authority estate in contributing to U.K sustainability agenda
• Size of estate, condition of existing estate, new estate
– The Fire Authority’s agenda to meet its responsibility
• Policy, targets, dates, timeframe, tools for putting policy to practice
– Our experience • Application of experience from NWFS
![Page 8: North West Fire & Rescue Services PFI Project Colin Schofield Project Manager Tony Clarke Seymour Harris Architecture on behalf of Balfour Beatty Damian](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061304/5513cde05503466f748b4b59/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Sustainable Design Drivers
– Fire Authority - Output specification• BREEAM• EPC rating
– National, Regional, Local Planning Authority
• 10% LZC, at least 10% of total energy demand to be met by on site renewable energy or low carbon sources
• Specific LZC preferences technologies (Wind turbine CHP PV’s Bio Mass)
– Industry Best Practice (now setting targets)
• Carbon Trust Ltd: better than or equal to 385 kwh/m2/p.a (fossil fuel) and 55 kwh/m2/p.a. (electricity)
“The community fire stations and other associated new accommodation, other than temporary accommodation must aim for
a target of ’excellent’ BREEAM, or equivalent, rating. A BREEAM rating which is less than ‘very good’ will not be acceptable to
NWFRS.”North West Fire and Rescue Services PFI Project, Output

Design to Meet the LZC Challenge
Building design •Optimum levels of thermal insulation.•U-values better than minimum design limits included in
Part L.•Self closing devices on external doors.
LZC Technology choice•Aero-thermal heat pumps•full variable refrigerant volume (VRV) system combining the
benefits of the Aero-thermal heat pump with ceiling mounted fan coils.
•Variable Speed Drives (VSDs)
Heating, ventilation and cooling •Building Energy Management System (BEMS)•EC/DC fan motors where practical•Ventilation heat recovery units
North West 10% LZC

Lighting•high frequency control gear•Daylight and occupancy sensing•External lighting daylight and time control.
Control equipment •flexible user controls with set-back
function •time scheduling functions •Time and occupancy based controls
Energy Monitoring•BEMS•Set, monitor, and report against targets
for energy use

• Rating TargetsNorth West
• Very Good rating minimum across all sites.• Excellent rating at three sites (one for each authority)
( Other fire PFI’s requiring excellent across all sites, looking for Outstanding as ‘added value’)
• New ‘Fire Stations’ criteria
BREEAM

Key BREEAM Impacts • Consultation
• Ecology and Land Use - Bio Diversity - best use of land - amenity areas - Green roofs – Blackburn
• Materials– LCA– Robust – Suppliers– Site waste management plan (Green Guide to Materials)
![Page 13: North West Fire & Rescue Services PFI Project Colin Schofield Project Manager Tony Clarke Seymour Harris Architecture on behalf of Balfour Beatty Damian](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061304/5513cde05503466f748b4b59/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Additional to BREEAM and % LZC
• Fire Authority requirements• Electric car charging points (NWFS)• Cycle requirements (NW)
• Local Authority Sustainability statements (20% new target)
• Energy statements
• Travel Plan • Cycle schemes
• Inclusion of habitat development • Green Roof (Blackburn)

Balancing the Challenges
Conflicts can arise between requirements
1. Balance between natural ventilations & acoustics - noisy city centre sites
- air quality - noise
- combination of open-able Windows & mechanical ventilation
2. Material Choices - ease of maintenance verses technology choice examples
![Page 15: North West Fire & Rescue Services PFI Project Colin Schofield Project Manager Tony Clarke Seymour Harris Architecture on behalf of Balfour Beatty Damian](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061304/5513cde05503466f748b4b59/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
3. Space conflicts - bio diverse roof / photovoltaic
- competition for roof space
4. Bio mass boilers - space for storage
- NW air sourced heat pumps
5. Affordability - separate issue but potentially the greener you are the more experience the
scheme can be.
6. Pedestrian / Cycle access egress

Closing statement
It is always a challenge but….
A community fire station for the 21st century
• you can do it
• it is affordable
• it doesn’t affect design quality
• a few before after’s
