● Condensing Boilers: The boiler plant providing low temperature hot water will include for flue gas reclaim by condensing the’ latent’ heat from the flue gas for use in these systems for space heating and air preconditioning. ● CO monitoring: The car park ventilation will incorporate CO monitoring to control the ventilation rate. The system uses less energy as the fans are set to operate at a lower extract rate using variable speed drives and only increase to full extract when the CO levels exceed certain values. ● Building Management System: BMS will be used to efficiently control and monitor the services within the development. The systems will incorporate: optimal routines, night set back and weather compensation. 11.2.10 WATER CONSERVATION Water conservation measures should be incorporated into future developments. The amount of water used in the development should be limited through the use of water conserving devices such as low flush, dual flush systems and automatic cut off devices, in order to prevent continuous unattended drawing of water. Other water conservation measures include: ● Grey Water Recycling Grey water recycling, which involves the reuse of waste water from sinks and showers, should be considered. ● Rain water harvesting Rain water harvesting, which involves the collection of rainwater for reuse in WC and urinal flushing, should be considered. 11.2.11 WASTE MANAGEMENT An integrated waste management strategy is required to ensure that waste strategy makes a positive contribution to the overall sustainability of any development. The waste strategy should form an integral part of the overall sustainable strategy for the site. Furthermore, all new developments will have to comply with Fingal County Council Waste Management Plan with regard to bin storage and bottle bank/textile sites etc. A waste strategy shall address: ● Maximising the recovery of valuable resources, for reuse or recycling, before further treatment or disposal, ● Design and development of an integrated process with the objective of significantly reducing total direct and indirect emissions, particularly CO2, methane and dioxins. S W O R D S M A S T E R P L A N 11.2.12 SUSTAINABLE URBAN DRAINAGE SYSTEMS/ STORM WATER MANAGEMENT Fingal County Council has adopted the Greater Dublin Strategic Drainage Study (GDSDS) Storm water Drainage Policy. In compliance with the GDSDS, all new developments must commit to an integrated urban water management strategy that represents the best management practices in sustainable drainage. The primary objective to be addressed by any new development with regard to storm water run-off is to regulate, control and minimise storm water discharge from the proposed development site. The SuDS principle will require all new developments within the Swords area to provide flood control and runoff treatment. The proposal for large scale units adjacent to Metro North maximise the opportunity for green roof technology promoting long-term sustainability. They form an essential part of the SUDS designs and add ecological, aesthetic and amenity advantages in addition to reducing the volume of runoff and attenuating peak flows. 1 0 8
12.1 Introduction The purpose of the Master Plan, is in part, to set out and assist in the delivery of an integrated and holistic new Town Centre of a scale and nature appropriate to serve the planned population of Swords (i.e. 100,000 people) and its hinterland. To this end it will be critical that large-scale Town Centre development not only delivers on retail but also on commercial and business offer, cultural and community facilities and new public places and enhanced town parks. All new development will be considered and assessed having regard to the Master Plan, which offers non-statutory guidance on the matter. It is recognised that Town Centre development, will be delivered on a phased basis. In determining the appropriate phasing of development, regard has been had to the following criteria: 1. Compliance with CDP and Master Plan Objectives. 2. Strengthening the role and function of the historic Town Centre 3. Compatibility and integration with Metro. 4. Availability of ancillary infrastructure (including water, capacity of the WWTP or existing road network). 5. Contribution to delivery of necessary Town Centre physical infrastructure. 6. Contribution to delivery of necessary Town Centre social/community/cultural infrastructure. 7. Creation of jobs, economic development and prosperity for Swords. 8. Stimulus for other such employment and economic generating development. S W O R D S M A S T E R P L A N 12.0 Phasing And Implementation 1 0 9 R132 Bus Bridge/ The Rise
