In Leeds, the Climate Innovation District, developed by Citu, is transforming a brownfield site into a paragon of eco-conscious urban living.
This regeneration project comprises 516 high-performance, low-energy residences designed to near Passivhaus standards, utilising the Passive House Planning Package (PHPP).
Sunsquare, in collaboration with Surespan, has provided state-of-the-art skylight solutions to enhance natural light and ventilation in this
pioneering development.
These bespoke units, measuring 3050 x 851mm, exemplify Sunsquare's commitment to engineering excellence and innovative design.
The advanced glazing system incorporates a high-performance outer pane with SN70/35 coating, optimising solar heat gain coefficient (SHGC) and visible light transmission (VLT). An argon-filled cavity and warm edge spacer technology further enhance thermal performance.
Sunsquare's Aero Electric Roof Access Rooflights deliver significant benefits:
Sunsquare's involvement in the Climate Innovation District demonstrates our capacity to deliver bespoke, high-performance daylighting solutions for complex urban regeneration projects. The Aero Electric Roof Access Rooflight exemplifies our position at the forefront of skylight technology.
This project showcases the efficacy of collaborative approaches in sustainable building design. The synergy between Sunsquare's product innovation and Surespan's expertise has resulted in a solution that exceeds the development's stringent performance criteria.
