"Inscape Architects is committed to creating contemporary architecture that is sensitive to its context, responsive to the buildings' users needs and environmentally sustainable. Designing buildings is a complex process, and although Inscape has been involved in architecture for over 30 years, we know that we'll always be learning. It's also a collaborative effort, and that's why, as architects, our aim is to work as a team with our clients, other consultants and contractors. Buildings represent a major investment and an intensive use of resources. As architects, it is our responsibility to use those resources wisely, on behalf of our clients and for the care of our environment. We're pleased to say that Inscape's approach to architecture and design has been recognised by both local and national awards for completed work. More important, though, is that the buildings we help to create should make a positive, and lasting, contribution to our environment and be enjoyed by their users. "
SOLAR THERMAL PANELS Generally these should be the first choice for cost and energy contribution. The 10sq metres of panel mounted on the roof make a substantial contribution to the heating of hot water for washing and the laundry of this new 8 bedroom residential unit constructed for St Christopher's School, Westbury Park, Bristol.
LOW ENERGY HOUSE - HEAT RECOVERY VENTILATION, SOLARIUM & THERMAL PANELS On sunny summer days the 4sq metres of thermal solar panels regularly heat a 210ltr. hot water storage cylinder to over 60C's providing the hot water needs of this 2 bedroom house in Gibson Road, Bristol.On a sunny mid winter day (20 December 05) a full tank of solar heated water was available at 57degs.C!A low energy ventilation installation keeps air fresh and condensation under control. The heat exchanger in this unit is very efficient and recovers up to 95% of the heat energy from exhausted air .A sliding double low 'E' glazed roof over the 'solarium' contributes solar heating. The solarium is separated from the main living space by retractable double glazed sliding doors so that a thermal buffer is created in winter when closed. In summer the roof can be half opened to provide copious ventilation and, if required, shade the glazed doors below (the louvres were not installed at the time of this photo).The house was designed to include high thermal mass in the construction to damp the day/night thermal cycle both in summer and winter. This has proven to be successful, the house is cool in summer and solar gain in winter is of benefit in the evening.
