Stratford Waterfront East bank – two case studies of Integrated Building Design

Join UCL IEDE for the fourth public event in our Integrated Building Design seminar series with speakers from Buro Happold.

Stratford Waterfront (East Bank) project is a mixed-used development in East London currently under construction, which includes residential towers alongside the V&A East Museum, UAL London College of Fashion, BBC Concert studio and Sadler’s Wells East Theatre.

The sustainability targets across the site are exemplary, particularly for energy and water consumption.

This lecture will focus on two challenges for Sadler’s Wells East Theatre and UAL London College of Fashion, featuring speakers from Buro Happold.

The challenge of the Sadler’s Wells Theatre is to integrate a naturally ventilated environmental strategy to as many spaces within the building as possible, and thereby rely on a passive solution to minimise energy consumption and carbon emissions. Marco – Sustainability discipline lead - will present how design team collaboration is essential to the success and future resilience of the natural ventilation design strategy for the foyer of the theatre.

The challenge of the UAL London College of Fashion is to minimise energy consumption and carbon emissions as well as maintaining thigh temperature and humidity control in the majority of the University building. Daniela - Sustainability project lead – will present how operational energy use prediction at design stage (CIBSE TM54 + HVAC simulation) can effectively optimise the MEP design and building operation.

The event will feature a presentation followed by an interactive Q&A session.
