Ibhulogi : Umbiko Ubonisa ukuthi Ukuqamba Okusha Kuvula kanjani Amakhaya Angabizi kakhulu, Angathathi hlangothi eCarbon
Ukuhlolwa kwakamuva kokuhlala, okuxhaswe ngu Commonweal Housing, ku I-ZED PODSI-Hope Rise iyisikhumbuzo sokuthi kubaluleke kangakanani ukwenza lolu hlobo locwaningo ukuze usize ukuvula amakhaya asezingeni eliphezulu ngesilinganiso nangejubane. Njengoba i-RIBA isanda kusho, "Uma ukwakhiwa umkhakha uzimisele ngezinguquko kanye nokwenza ngcono, udinga ukwemukela ukuhlolwa kwangemuva kokuhlala."
I-Hope Rise iwukuthuthukiswa okuzuze imiklomelo eminingi kwamakhaya omphakathi ayishumi nanye kubantu abadala abasebasha eBristol. Lawa makhaya akhiwe endaweni yesikhulumi sensimbi ngaphezu kwendawo yokupaka izimoto zomphakathi e-St. George, Bristol. Lolu hlelo luyingxenye yephrojekthi ebanzi ye-Innovate UK exhaswe ngezimali yocwaningo nentuthuko, 'Ukunika amandla Ukuqamba Okusha Kwezindlu Ukuze Ukhule Okubandakanyayo,’ implemented by a consortium of partners led by YTKO and including Bristol City Council, Bristol Housing Festival, I-BRE, kanye nezinkampani ezingu-9 ezihamba phambili zezindlu ezijwayelekile ngo-2020.
This demonstrator project was built on the belief that innovative building methods have the potential to unlock affordable homes and also contribute to tackling the construction sector’s goal to reach net zero targets. Cllr Tom Renhard, Cabinet Member for Housing Delivery and Homes said, “Hope Rise has shown us that innovation is essential as we seek to deliver homes fit for the future to meet Bristol’s housing need. We hope the learning from this pilot project will lead to the design nokulethwa kwezindlu ezingamakhulu uma kungezona izinkulungwane.”
Hope Rise was the first completed project amongst those 9 housing schemes involved in the Innovate UK demonstrator project and was then showcased by the Construction Leadership Council and BEIS at ‘Build Better Now’, a virtual exhibition during COP26. Hope Rise was the only residential modular project from the UK amongst 17 exemplary sustainable projects across the globe.
Given the objectives of the project, post-occupancy evaluation was a key priority from the outset. Ellen Grist, Research and Evaluation Lead at Bristol Housing Festival said, “Hope Rise is a truly innovative development that has increased the capability and confidence of the whole supply and demand ecosystem, and the learning in this report has the potential to enhance the design and delivery of hundreds if not thousands of homes.”
Ukuqamba okusha lokhu kuhlola nokuhlola kwangemva kokuhlala kusize ekuvuleni
The Hope Rise scheme has influenced other local authorities in the UK to rethink their brownfield and unused sites and embrace modern methods of construction to deliver faster, good quality, well-designed, affordable homes. It has also encouraged ZED PODS’ in-house architectural team to push the boundaries and apply podium-based housing solution to difficult-to-build sites like Flood Zones and above existing residential buildings or multi-storey car parks.
I-ZED PODS kusukela lapho basebenzise umgomo wokuklama we-Hope Rise ngempumelelo ngohlelo lwamayunithi angama-23 e-Ashford. Izindlu ze-zero carbon zizokwakhiwa endaweni yesikhulumi sensimbi endaweni ye-Flood Zone 3 futhi kuzoba uhlelo lokuqala lwe-modular lweziphathimandla zendawo.
Their in-house design team have incorporated all the necessary safety features and flood risk mitigation measures for this social housing due to the site’s location. The project has received planning permission from the Local Planning Authority and go-ahead from the Environment Umenzeli.
Impumelelo yokuhlela efanayo itholwe yi-ZED PODS kwenye iphrojekthi yezindlu zomphakathi e-Tiverton eMkhandlwini Wesifunda Wase-Mid-Devon. Le ndawo isendaweni kaZamcolo futhi kulindeleke ukuthi ingabi ne-carbon-neutral, okwenza lokhu kube ngeminye yemiklamo yokuqala yezindlu zomphakathi yalolu hlobo esifundeni futhi iqhubekisele phambili isifiso somkhandlu wendawo sokuba i-carbon zero ngo-2030.
A demonstrator project, in conjunction with a post-occupancy evaluation, has been shown to be an effective model for unlocking this innovative housing solutions, and has been seen to lead to further innovation. Bristol is leading the way in exploring and showcasing innovative approaches to tackling the housing crisis, climate, and ecological emergencies, and is calling on other cities to be bold implementing and evaluating innovative housing solutions. Doing so has been shown to help new modular providers enter the market, shape their new housing products and delivery services, and unlock a supply chain of affordable, carbon-zero homes.
