A new sports and leisure complex by FaluknerBrowns Architects has set a new environmental standard in ultra-low energy consumption. With an operational energy consumption of less than 100 kWh/m2/y, Ravelin Sports Centre uses only one-tenth of the energy demand of an equivalent sports centre.
The building is fossil fuel-free and rated BREEAM Outstanding with extensive use of natural and sustainable materials. The large sports hall has been fitted with 1600m2 Junckers SylvaSport solid beech flooring. Well-known for its high quality, performance and user safety, Junckers’ sports flooring also meet the strict criteria for sustainability and longevity required for a building of this standard. With a proven long lifespan, a solid wood floor also scores highly when comparing maintenance, refurbishment, and replacement cycles.
