Detailed Case Study

Scope of Works and Services:

The project for Ivanhoe Estate's Building C2 is a construction project focused on the building's thermal and acoustic performance. The scope of work is detailed in the specifications for the building's exterior.

• Glazing and Framing: The project specifies a proposed frame and glass type for external installations. The frames are to be

  ALSPEC Double Glazed Framing (150mm). The glazing is specified as

  PH08 Clear HS 6mm / 12mm Argon / 6mm Clear HS - 24mm DGU.

  
  

• Building Performance Requirements: The building is required to meet specific thermal performance standards. The total R-Value for the walls should be 1.76, while the floors should have a total R-Value of 2.0. The project also details required U-Values and SHGC (Solar Heat Gain Coefficient) values for different types of glazing. For example, fixed glazing has a required Total U-Value of 3.2 W/(m²K) and a Total SHGC of 0.35.

  
  

  Acoustic and Glass Requirements: The project has specific acoustic requirements for different areas. For the cafe and all orientations, the minimum glazing performance required is Rw (C; Ctr): 30 (0;-3). The recommended glass is 6.38mm Laminated or 6/12/6.38mm Laminated. For Community Rooms, the minimum acoustic performance is Rw (C; Ctr): 36 (0;-3), with recommended glass being 6/12/12.38mm Laminated.

  
  

• Specific Components: The scope of work includes external glazing, skylights (circular and rectangular), and two Dorkababa automatic sliding doors (D13 and D17).

  
  

• Finishes: The specified finish for the project is Duratec Eternity Nickel Pearl | Matt

  
  

• Project Documentation: The document mentions that it's a specification related to Thermal Values and an Acoustic Report from March 2025.
