1.0 Introduction
I have been asked to critically compare and contrast a building constructed to today’s regulatory standards against a building of a similar type constructed in the 1970’s. I have chosen educational facilities for my building category and have chosen two buildings which I believe are fairly typical of the time in which they were constructed. I have compiled a breakdown on each building to better understand the techniques and materials used, then gone on to compare the design and engineering and look at how it has changed over time.
I have then investigated different techniques to help establish the most sustainable and economic manner in which my building category could hope to achieve net zero carbon
