Camelford Court bio-solar roof: helping Lancaster West Estate go carbon-neutral by 2030!

Lancaster West Neighbourhood Team are excited to announce that the first phase of the bio-solar roof on Lancaster West has been completed. 
The design of the bio-solar roof with two Grenfell hearts at either end of the block was co-designed with residents and the final design received 58% of residents’ overall votes, compared to the other two options. 
Phase 1 of construction involved the installation of new triple-glazed skylights in 13 properties which will increase light and ventilation for residents. The roof has been made with A1 non-combustible insulation, improving safety as well as energy performance. As the roof has a very low u-value (a measure of thermal performance), it keeps the heat inside homes in winter, and sun’s heat out in the summer. This will help to reduce energy usage and bills for residents.

The two sections of sedum planting, surrounding the Grenfell Heart motifs at either end of the roof are low maintenance, with shallow roots that can withstand hot summers and help to improve the biodiversity of the estate. 
These sedum plants will absorb 18kg of carbon-dioxide and almost 1kg of airborne pollutants every year. This is another step closer to the ambitious goal of helping Lancaster West to go carbon-neutral by 2030. 
Phase 2 will involve the installation of solar panels. Take a look at what the bio-solar roof looks like below:
