ULI UK: Young Leaders Innovators & Disrupters Series: Daylight & Density
With demographic trends forecasting London’s population will be nearing 11 million people by 2040, there is an ever increasing need to densify. However, there are various constraints to the intensification of schemes within London including the BRE Guidelines, which offer advice on impacts to the daylight and sunlight to neighbours. Consultancy firm, GIA, has, over the past ten years, created a 3D model of Central London that determines existing light levels within denser areas of London, which can be used to help bring context to how the BRE Guidelines are interpreted and used. The research study has already allowed one development to add a further 50,000 sq ft GEA to a scheme over and above the basic guidelines.
Gordon Ingram, Senior Partner Rights Of Light, Daylight & Sunlight at GIA will give us a guided tour of the three dimensional model and lead a debate on re-thinking daylight and density at this event.
