    Princes Park- Dartford

    Has anyone seen this stadium? Its simply astounding. Its like Grand Designs built this stadium







    The stadium roof - The sedum roof blanket and covering provides an alternative finish to both the terrace and clubhouse, reducing the 'man made' product and providing a living roof that provides a natural air filtration system.

    Solar panel - The solar panel system will serve the community changing areas and public toilets hot water storage cylinders.

    Reclaimed rainwater - will serve WC's and urinals within the Clubhouse.The water will be collected in the two vast ponds at the north end of the grounds.

    Glulam timber - The treated Glulam timber beams support the green roof. Glulam beams have a positive effect on the resources for the whole project both in production and construction.A small percentage of materials used in building construction can be recycled, but timber is the only renewable building material. In comparison to steel and concrete the timber is substantially lighter and the lower weight of Glulam leads to a reduction in foundations, transport and erection.

    Glulam also provides energy efficient value in use.The insulation property of timber eliminates the risk of cold bridging where the frame may penetrate external elements of the structure. Its low thermal mass helps reduce fuel bills by absorbing little heating energy.

    Under floor heating - Under floor heating on both levels of the clubhouse provides a more energy efficient method of heating the building.

    Low energy lighting - Low energy lighting provides an energy efficient method to lighting a building by using less wattage per fitting.

    Increased fabric insulation - Increased fabric insulation to give the club house better thermal retention and efficiency.

    Condensing boilers - Condensing boilers were installed as they provide a more energy efficient system, by reducing the extracted.

    Excavated earth - Excavated earth was reused for landscaping the external courtyard areas around the stadium.
