It would like to measure and report upon actual usage of our teaching rooms to a high accuracy and when rooms are booked and not used, or not booked and used. The solution would need to be sustainably installed and maintained and easily measurable and reportable.The University moved to its Waterside Campus in 2018 and this reduced the amount of teaching spaces. With the increase in hybrid and online teaching, we would like to measure and report upon whether the University’s current teaching spaces are sufficient to meet current requirements, measure and report upon whether teaching spaces are underutilised (based on number of students in each session) and measure and report upon actual room usage measured against timetabled data over agreed time periods. The solution would need to be sustainable in terms of installation and maintenance and easily measurable and reportable.The University has a range of systems that measure our different types of energy usage, but measurement and reporting is carried out in a siloed capacity. In terms of acting on energy utilisation, this has been more reactive than proactive.The University has made a bold commitment to Net Carbon Zero for Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 2030. It is also dedicated to being a socially responsible higher education institution. The University requires a solution to provide real-time adaptations to mechanical, electrical and HVAC systems based on space usage, whilst translating metrics into a measurable and reportable environment. This will involve integrating with existing systems and providing real time reporting against set thresholds.The University would like to reduce carbon dioxide emissions through energy efficiency and the use of energy generated from renewable sources, use water in an efficient and responsible manner and prevent the generation of waste and reduce its impact through resource reuse and recovery.

T22/0036 - Thin Film Sputtering Fabrication Facility

The University intends to procure a new thin film magnetron sputtering facility for the fabrication of energy materials, biocompatible and functional coatings. TF-FAB provides a platform for researchers to develop new inorganic thin films for energy materials, biocompatible and functional coatings. It supports unprecedented recent growth in thin film research at Northumbria University (NU). TF-FAB provides a transformational capacity increase in thin film fabrication and will create new collaborative opportunities between academia and industry. We are looking for a dual chamber sputtering system and interconnecting load lock. We are looking for maximum flexibility (hardware and software) and also an upgradable system. We anticipate that one chamber will be more geared towards the deposition of oxide and compound materials (chamber 1) while the other would be more metal focus, including diamond like carbon coatings and titanium based alloys (chamber 2).

North Campus - Industry Hub

In late 2019, the College carried out a review of the campus and accommodation strategy, leading to a study for a strategic master plan in March 2020. The master plan identified a number of sites on the existing campus, including the teaching building and Sports building extension. The land to the North of the existing site was identified as the ideal location for an extension to the campus and would provide the College with medium-long term development capacity, the" North Campus" as it has become known. Instead of simply forming an extended version of the existing campus, the opportunity has been taken to re-think the character of a place for learning. Providing excellent teaching space is a pre-requisite, as is ensuring buildings have a low energy demand with low emissions leading towards net zero carbon is a key objective of the design. In complete contrast to the existing campus is the integration of green landscape space and buildings. Although close to the town centre with its retail parks and car parks, the North campus is envisaged as a haven with buildings in soft landscape, where proximity to nature becomes part of the student experience at Burnley College.At the heart of the North Campus is a green space, almost a park with buildings around the perimeter. The need to deal with water has been treated as a positive with storage capacity built into a central lake with swales. This will create a range of distinctive planting zones with various habitats. A linear pedestrian route that will link future buildings defines the eastern edge of the green space, it will also accommodate café and social learning zones that spill out from the ground floors of teaching buildings. From upper floors it is expected that the design of the proposed buildings can take advantage of views towards Pendle and South towards the viaduct.The central area will include a small sports area to supplement the all-weather pitch on the main campus. This will be provided managed sports provision that will be available for community just as existing facilities are. At the South end of the site a combination of ramp and steps will deal with the change in level between the current and proposed campus. There is also potential to incorporate a trim trail around the perimeter of the site and incorporate a performance space to the south of the industry hub with permanent seating as a landscape feature.Between the linear route and the Calder is the future development zone for teaching buildings. This zone stays outside the 8m easement along the river required by the Environment Agency. Whilst there will be access along the river, it is seen as secondary with minimal footfall. It is intended to be a quite space with limited lighting at night At the North end of the site will be the Industry Hub. The building will terminate the view and create something of a barrier to motorway noise, but as a two storey structure will not block the views of trees beyond. The ground floor social spaces are linked to a south facing external terrace that will have views of the viaduct and townscape beyond.The scope of the procurement is to appoint a Principal Contractor for the delivery of the North Campus - Industry Hub project. The successful tenderer/contractor awarded such a contract must be fully available to mobilise in early April 2023. The Contract terms and conditions will be JCT Design & Build Building Contract (2016),with Special Conditions, which are available as part of the ITT.The College has procured Project Team and Design Services to complete up to RIBA Stage 4.The following Design Disciplines are proposed to be novated to the Principal Contractor. • Architect (lead Designer) - ABW Architects • Landscape Designer - Milieu Landscape Design• Civil & Structural Engineering Consultants - Waterman Group.

SHDF Retro Consultant

The Riverside Group (TRG) have made a significant commitment to improving the energy efficiency of our homes. We have a target of bringing all our homes up to a minimum of EPC Band C by 2030 and to net zero carbon by 2050. We aim to : ? reduce the contribution to climate change that our homes make, ? protect our residents from rising energy costs ? enable our residents to heat their homes to guideline temperatures ? improve indoor air quality ? eliminate damp and mould. TRG have applied for SHDF funding to take 1100 properties up to EPC Band C. We have carried out a number of surveys already, some of which found properties were already at a C and this is informing our data improvement. The project consists of approximately: ? London ? 150 (1 tranche)? Carlisle ? 150 (1 tranche)? Liverpool ? 800 (3 / 4 tranches) The size of each tranche and distribution between the areas will be refined as surveys are returned. Whilst the driver for this project is to deliver SHDF funding, TRG will be taking an area based approach so may include properties that are funded through other sources or where works are minor, funded solely by TRG. If we are unsuccessful in SHDF funding, we will still proceed with a project at approximately 50% and we will work with you to scope this ?fallback? project so that resources are not wasted on work that may not be taken forward. Given the SHDF timescales some activities will happen concurrently. For example, we will expect to move to immediately surveying properties, at the same time, you will review our wider eligible properties to produce a total survey list. Similarly, surveys will still be taking place as our contractor mobilises in March and April and there will be an opportunity to work with the contractor at this stage. We will stagger the start of tranches in discussion with the contractor and in response to resident engagement.
