Vertical supply chain integration to deliver high volume ultra-low energy offsite construction

为了实现到2050年将二氧化碳排放量减少80%的目标，新建房屋必须将能源性能提高高达80%，同时建造率也必须翻一番。终端用户和产品供应商之间的传统供应链结构意味着，由于客户、承包商和产品供应商之间固有的分离，从产品供应商那里获取创新并在具有凝聚力的超低能源(ULE，例如Passivhaus)最终产品中利用这一创新的潜力往往会丢失。Citu Developments LLP将与利兹·贝克特大学合作开发第一个工业规模的超低能耗非现场建筑系统，该系统基于Passivhaus类型的概念，但专为英国棕地应用而设计，在这些应用中，建筑形式和方向并不总是为了能源效率而优化。该项目将研究将供应商和具有史无前例的质量/控制的工业制造流程垂直整合为商业开发的可行商业模式的可行性，以现有节能技术的一小部分成本优化特定地点的能源效率。

To meet the target of decreasing CO2 emissions by 80% by 2050, new house builds must improve energyperformance by up to 80%, whilst the rate of construction must also double. The traditional supply chainstructure between end user and product suppliers means that the potential to capture innovation from productsuppliers and exploit this in a cohesive ultra-low energy (ULE, e.g. Passivhaus) end product is often lost due tothe inherent segregation of client, contractor and product suppliers.Citu developments LLP will collaborate with Leeds Beckett University to develop the first industrial scale ULEoffsite construction system, based on Passivhaus type concepts, but designed for UK brownfield applicationswhere build form and orientation cannot always be optimised for energy efficiency. This project will investigatethe feasibility of vertically integrating suppliers and an industrial manufacturing process with unprecedentedquality/control into a viable business model for commercial exploitation, to optimise the energy efficiency of aparticular site at a fraction of the cost of existing energy-efficient technologies.
