Quotes

Daniel Grandage, Associate Director at WSP said:  "There is a significant threat to commercial property owners that they will lose income if they are not aware of, and do not react to, these changes.  “Although the regulations will not come into force until 2018, they are already having an impact with buyers now looking to invest in D rated assets or above. It shows just how important it is to understand the risks that face your portfolio so that you can be prepared and take action.” WSP says there are some simple, cost effective ways of improving a building’s energy performance rating, such as obtaining accurate data and avoiding the use of default assumptions. However WSP’s research shows that upgrading to efficient lighting will have the biggest effect on ratings."

Neil Smith, Group Research and Innovation Manager, NHBC, said:  "The challenges we face in designing homes fit for the 21st Century are clear. We need homes that achieve zero carbon performance whilst providing a comfortable and healthy indoor environment.  "In recent decades, the design of new homes has adapted to incorporate new features and new technologies through gradual evolution. But there are now questions about whether this is the right approach or whether we need a more fundamental review of housing design.  "This guide is intended to help designers and house-builders understand the need for holistic design which does not rely on a ‘business as usual approach’ with additional technologies bolted on."

Changes needed to 21st Century house design [Published ADF - May 07 2013]
"We are delighted to be working with the Royal on such an exciting development for the city and its people. We believe the new hospital will enhance the excellent care given by staff and the fantastic reputation of the hospital, its services and its research and development. We are proud to be working in Liverpool again and we are looking forward to working with staff, patients and the public during construction. The new Royal will also enable the delivery of the Liverpool BioCampus, a pivotal development for the north-west, and a key part of the regeneration of the Knowledge Quarter. We are thrilled to be part of such an exciting future for the city. ”  The new hospital will be built next to the current hospital, on the same site, and will open in 2017. Once services transfer into the new Royal, the current Royal will be demolished. Other work will then take place on site, such as landscaping. There will be a green heart created, roughly the size of Chavasse Park, near Liverpool ONE. After that there will be a world class Liverpool BioCampus on the site of the demolished Royal, regenerating the gateway to our city and transforming the area."
