Bolsover Street, Fitzrovia, London. This project involved the creation of 18 flats from a six storey office building. JDA assisted at the formative stages of a BREEAM Domestic Refurbishment Assessment which was being provided by The Environmental Assessment Consortium.

Richmond Brewery Stores, Richmond: Built as a bottling factory for a nearby brewery in the late nineteenth century, Richmond Brewery Stores is a locally-listed, landmark building of Richmond which overlooks the Thames. Its recent development was in two parts: firstly, the remodelling of the former brewery stores as commercial office space; secondly, the construction of seven, lightweight, new-build apartments above the office space. As the project’s sustainability consultant, JDA carried out a Code for Sustainable Homes assessment of the apartments for which level 3 ‘design stage’ certification was awarded. A key feature of the assessment has been the energy strategy which included a photovoltaic array and communal heating system linked to a ground source heat pump. This strategy achieved a 43% reduction in CO₂ emissions compared to a building regulations baseline.  Support to the project team, throughout design and construction, included guidance on: energy efficiency, water efficiency, water quality, the environmental impact of materials, responsible sourcing of materials, recycling of household waste, day-lighting of apartments, sound insulation, site ecology and flood risk. 

Odeon Parade, Sudbury Town, London. This scheme comprised a development of 39 flats for which level 4 of The Code for Sustainable Homes was a planning condition.

As the project’s sustainability consultant, JDA’s detailed assessment of the development was accepted by the local authority as discharging the planning condition. Support to the project team, throughout design and construction, included guidance on: construction site impacts, cycle storage, rainwater harvesting, energy efficiency, water efficiency, water quality, environmental impact of materials, responsible sourcing of materials, recycling of household waste, site ecology and flood risk.
