Low Carbon Case Studies
Through Elevate’s Constructing the Future project and CCI NW, we have compiled a listing of current projects adopting various low carbon approaches to the design and development of new building schemes. This study sought to view the whole North West region and all forms of building. At the present date many projects are still effectively prototyping new approaches which attempt to reduce the carbon footprint of both the building process and their life time operation. We see this study as providing stakeholders with key information, mapping locations and highlighting the current players in this market. Our mapping project which also includes some useful explanations of the terminology and technologies used can be downloaded clicking here.
Adapting to climate change
The London Climate Change Partnership has produced a new document 'Adapting to climate change: a case study companion to the checklist for development' which provides case studies of developments or buildings that use techniques relevant to key climate change adaptations issues.
