From Brownfield to Magic Gardens

(L-R): City of Wolverhampton Council Deputy Leader and Cabinet Member for City Housing,
Councillor Steve Evans, and Morro Partnerships Managing Director, Tom Broadway at the Magic Gardens site in Bushbury
The first new council homes are springing out of the ground at two small derelict brownfield sites in Wolverhampton.

City of Wolverhampton Council appointed contractor Morro Partnerships Limited to build 8 bungalows at the ‘Magic Gardens’ site off Sandmere Rise in Bushbury and 11 houses on Ettingshall Road in Bilston.

The new ‘A’ Rated, gas free homes with solar panels, are being constructed using sustainable building methods and, following 3 months of ground works, the timber frames are now being installed at both sites.

The carbon footprint of a timber frame is less than traditional structures, and this modern method of construction also helps to reduce energy consumption, helping to keep residents’ bills to a minimum.

The council’s housing development team is leading the project, and all the homes will be available for affordable rent, with construction across both sites expected to be complete by summer 2025.

The 8 bungalows and 11 houses form part of the latest phase of new council homes coming forward across the city, with development works underway or set to start in the coming months on 81 properties across 6 sites.

‘Magic Gardens’ was historically used for organised recreational community activities but has been unused since around 2011.

The development of 7 two-bedroom houses, 2 three-bedroom houses and 2 four-bedroom houses at Ettingshall Road will bring back into use land that has been blighted by fly tipping in recent years.

Councillor Steve Evans, the council’s Deputy Leader and Cabinet Member for City Housing, said:

“One of our key priorities is to increase the number of good homes in well connected neighbourhoods across the city.

“Works are progressing well at both sites and will deliver a variety of housing types for our council homes portfolio.

“It is also another example of the council’s brownfield land first strategy bringing small disused sites back into use for the benefit of our residents and communities.

“Sustainability in build and fostering thriving communities is important to us, so our collaboration with Morro Partnerships assures both us and our future residents that their homes are future proofed in a great location.”

Tom Broadway, Managing Director at Morro Partnerships, said:

“We’re pleased to have made such great progress on these much needed homes, and to be contributing towards the increased demand for affordable housing across the city.

“Sustainability is a key part of our pledges to be better community makers and better environment makers, and to be helping to make housing more affordable, accessible and equipped for the future is rewarding.

“We’re looking forward to completing construction at these two important developments and watching them blossom into thriving communities.”

The developments will be supported by Homes England grants totalling a £1,315,000.

Enhancing Sound Insulation

Enhancing Sound Insulation Of Double Leaf Walls With New Stud Types

A novel analytical model reveals the superior acoustic advantages of acoustical and steel studs over traditional wooden configurations.

A new analytical model has unveiled significant insights on the sound insulation performance of lightweight double leaf walls, particularly emphasizing the role of various stud types. This research draws attention to the challenges inherent in predicting sound transmission loss (STL) due to complex structural configurations, providing architects with valuable tools for optimizing acoustic environments.

Double leaf wall structures are prevalent in the construction of modern buildings, such as hotels, open offices, and residential complexes. While their lightweight nature and ease of assembly make them appealing, their sound insulation capabilities have often fallen short of required standards. This study, led by researchers from China, introduces innovative methodologies for evaluating and enhancing the acoustic performance of these walls.

One of the principal findings of this research is the sound bridge effect, which occurs when varying stud types introduce mechanical connections between wall leaves, thereby enabling vibration energy transfer. The analysis demonstrates how traditional wooden studs contribute more significantly to this effect compared to lighter steel studs. Notably, the researchers advocate for using acoustical studs equipped with rubber sound isolation inserts to achieve superior sound insulation performance.

The innovative analytical model allows for rapid predictions of STL for commonly used double leaf wall configurations, including those incorporating wooden, steel, and acoustical studs. This model enhances practicality for architects and builders by streamlining sound insulation evaluations and facilitating informed design choices. Previous methods primarily focused on rigid configurations, lacking comprehensive comparisons across stud types, particularly newer, more flexible configurations.

The research systematically evaluates various double leaf walls’ airborne sound transmission characteristics, offering empirical data derived from rigorous analytical methods. Key findings indicate substantial differences between configurations, highlighting the effectiveness of acoustical studs over wooden and standard steel variants. Specifically, it was found, “We propose using acoustical studs with rubber sound isolation inserts, which achieves high-level sound insulation performance,” showcasing how optimized stud designs can significantly improve acoustic separation between wall leaves.

Parametric studies within the research focused on variables such as stud spacing and wall dimensions, determining their effect on STL within specific frequency ranges. It was observed, for example, reduced stud spacing led to improved stiffness and overall insulation, making smaller stud arrangements preferable for enhancing soundproofing without compromising structural integrity.

This research particularly addresses previous shortcomings faced by builders when selecting stud types for double leaf walls—enabling them to combine optimal sound performance with the lightweight benefits required for modern construction techniques. “Traditional wooden studs contribute more to the sound bridge effect compared to steel studs of the same structure,” adds clarity to choosing materials based on performance metrics.

Given the notable benefits stemming from this study, these findings bear significant relevance for the construction industry—especially as demands for more efficient, soundproof environments grow. Builders and architects can leverage this work to implement sound-efficient designs more effectively, ensuring both compliance with sound standards and satisfaction among building occupants.

Future research will likely explore environmentally friendly materials and the integration of advanced technologies to optimize wall configurations, with aspirations to contribute toward carbon neutrality goals within the sector. By refining lightweight wall design practices, this study paves the way for innovative approaches to meeting rising acoustic and structural demands.

Breathing Buildings, a leading provider of controlled natural and hybrid ventilation systems, has scooped the Commercial Ventilation Product of the Year Award at this year’s prestigious Energy Saving Awards. The company won the award for its new NVHRe, Natural Ventilation with Heat Recycling and Heat Recovery (NVHRe), which is its latest addition to its award-winning range of Natural Ventilation with Heat Recycling (NVHR®) systems. This is the second award Breathing Buildings has won for this innovative product, it also won ‘Commercial/ Industrial Ventilation Product of the Year’ category at the HVR Awards 2024 in September. Breathing Buildings was presented the accolade at a glittering awards ceremony at The De Vere Grand Connaught Rooms, London on 6th December 2024.

 

The Energy Saving Awards, organised by leading publications Plumbing, Heating & Air Movement News (PHAM News) and Energy in Buildings & Industry (EiBI), is an event celebrating the very best professionals, products and projects across the Plumbing, HVAC and Energy Management sectors. The awards have been created to acknowledge the important work that has been achieved by manufacturers, installers, contractors, suppliers and organisations to reduce carbon emissions and become more energy efficient. The standard of entries this year was exceptionally high and after a rigorous judging process Breathing Buildings won the award for its innovative NVHRe, which raises the bar on energy-efficient ventilation.

 

Marking the next step in hybrid ventilation technology, the key difference between Breathing Buildings’ original NVHR® range and the new innovative Natural Ventilation with Heat Recycling and Heat Recovery (NVHRe), is the addition of a low resistance heat exchanger cell within the unit. This allows the unit to benefit from both heat recycling and heat recovery, reclaiming even more heat than previous models, saving more energy, providing great occupant comfort, and allowing users to include it within the building energy assessments (SBEM).

Alexis Roberts, Brand Manager at Breathing Buildings said:

“We are delighted Breathing Buildings’ NVHRe won the ‘Commercial Ventilation Product of the Year’ category at the prestigious Energy Saving Awards 2024 and has been recognised by the industry. Our NVHRe takes all the benefits of energy-efficient hybrid ventilation one step further by providing natural ventilation with heat recycling and heat recovery. Providing an industry-leading ventilation product for commercial and public buildings, such as offices and schools.  The Breathing Buildings NVHRe, boasts the lowest energy consumption and delivers 46% heat recovery efficiency with extremely low SFP levels to help building owners achieve their sustainability targets on the journey to Net-Zero Carbon. Breathing Buildings has completed the CIBSE TM65 methodology, these documents are readily available to help specifiers compare the NVHRe to other products in the market, enabling them to select the most efficient, sustainable products.”

Offering the lowest energy consumption for a hybrid heat recovery ventilation unit in the industry, the NVHRe combines 46% heat recovery efficiency with low Specific Fan Power (SFP) of 0.075 W/l/s to help maximise a building’s energy savings. In addition, the NVHRe has several different operating modes to minimise energy use, enhance indoor air quality (IAQ) and improve occupant comfort. An intelligent hybrid system, the unit automatically decides when and if mechanical operation is required, ensuring it only operates when absolutely necessary.

 

Providing excellent thermal comfort and enhanced IAQ, the NVHRe is designed to suit a diverse range of commercial and public buildings with high heat gains, such as schools, colleges, leisure centres, offices, theatres and even churches. The inclusion of the low resistant aluminium cross plate heat exchanger to the unit lowers energy costs by reducing the reliance on space heating to maintain thermal comfort in a room. It operates during colder external temperatures, typically below 7ºC when mixing recycled air alone is not enough to maintain the desired temperature for occupants.

 

The range also includes units that can be the primary source of heat; eliminating the need for other heating sources such as radiators, as well as a system that can offer further cooling. The British designed and manufactured units come in three models with product variations to suit every need with the standard NVHRe 1100 an NVHRe+ 1100 which includes a heating coil and is ideal for buildings in cooler areas; and an NVHRe C+ 1100 which features a heating and cooling coil for year-round comfort and full temperature control.

 

The NVHRe hybrid ventilation system’s ultra-efficient facade-based mixing ventilation allows single-sided, enhanced natural and hybrid ventilation in deep plan spaces whilst making the most of internal heat gains, with the addition of heat recovery to deliver superb thermal comfort and IAQ. Hybrid ventilation focuses on the vital balance of IAQ, thermal comfort, and efficiency by choosing the most appropriate mode of ventilation based on the internal and external conditions, allowing the NVHRe to be in the most energy-efficient mode possible at all stages.

 

Allowing low-energy hybrid natural ventilation, even in buildings with limited facade and roof space, highly efficient mixing fans mitigate cold draughts in winter and provide a ventilation boost in summer, with the addition of heat recovery to bolster winter thermal comfort, minimising the need for a primary source of heating for the space, such as radiators or air conditioning units, this reduces energy costs. Supplied with an external temperature sensor, and an internal temperature and CO2 sensor, as well as an intelligent controller the system monitors conditions to create an ideal indoor environment, boosting both productivity and wellbeing.

 

NVHRe optimises IAQ, comfort and efficiency by automatically switching between natural, hybrid and mechanical ventilation, maximising benefits. The unit has four modes: Summer Natural Mode, Summer Mechanical Mode, Winter Mode: Mixing and Winter Mode: Mixing with Heat Recovery. The Summer Natural Mode enables the unit to maximise the benefits of passive ventilation by opening the high-quality motorised damper and ventilating with zero cost. The Summer Mechanical Mode enables the hybrid technology to maximise ventilation by working in conjunction with other openings and providing cooler air. In Winter the Mixing Mode and Mixing with Heat Recovery strategies offer huge heating-bill savings as they recycle and recover heat while providing ventilation to ensure excellent IAQ and thermal comfort that enhance occupant comfort, health and productivity.

 

In addition, the NVHRe features a dedicated control panel seamlessly built into the side of the unit for easy access on-site, this is pre-configured. A micro-SD card is included free of charge, this collects operational data for up to 15 years. The data can easily be exported for analysis enabling the building owner to ensure the units are running efficiently.

 

Manufactured using high-quality components, the unit is easy to install and maintain. All core components are easily accessible by removing the panel beneath the unit. Each component can be serviced in-situ to ensure it operates efficiently and for as long as possible enhancing the overall longevity of the unit, rather than needing to replace a whole unit. In addition to incorporating the most energy efficient components and ensuring they are easily maintained. Breathing Buildings has given careful thought to the entire lifespan of the NVHRe, ensuring that all key components are recyclable at the end-of-use.

 

Breathing Buildings’ multi-award-winning natural ventilation with heat recycling (NVHR®) range has won a raft of awards.
