Life Cycle Cost Comparison for the Active Office

Description of the goods or services required

SPECIFIC Innovation and Knowledge Centre is an academic and industrial consortium led by Swansea University, with strategic partners Akzo Nobel, NSG Pilkington, Tata Steel and Cardiff University. It is funded by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC), Innovate UK and the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF), through the Welsh Government. The vision of SPECIFIC is to develop Active Buildings that can generate, store and release their own solar energy. This is achieved by developing technology, demonstrating the concept on full scale buildings, and bringing together partners who can work together to enable change in the built environment.

The main scope of this project is to develop a Life Cycle Cost report for an Active Building, based on the Active Office case study recently completed by SPECIFIC. The Active Office is located on Swansea University’s Bay Campus. It was completed in June 2018 and has been occupied since September 2018. An Active Building is described as a building which integrates solar generation and storage technologies for both electricity and heat within its construction, and which is controlled by an intelligent system to optimise energy management and comfort for inhabitants. Active Buildings aim to be net energy generators and have the potential to utilise the surplus energy to trade.

The Active Building Centre are seeking a professional company/organisation with previous demonstrable experience in conducting Life Cycle Cost reports on building projects. It is proposed to use the document internally by the Active Building Centre team and pick out elements to highlight the advantages of Active Buildings to external partners and funders.
