At MODEL, our vision wouldn’t be possible without the relentless input from those who share it. One such collaborator is Richard Stokes, Sustainability Team Leader at Arup. We recently sat down with Richard to discuss his work in helping us achieve Passive House and 6 Star Green Star certification. Here’s what he had to say: ‘With MODEL, we’re committing to a target early in the design process and focusing on how to solve it, rather than just aiming for a minimum requirement. Our work together has the potential to become a case study for others to be inspired by. Some say that high-performance, comfortable, environmentally-sound apartments are simply too expensive to create—we’re here to prove them wrong.” With Richard and the team at ARUP, Passive House and 6 Star Green Star certification, 50% reductions in embodied carbon and 9 NatHers are targets that MODEL can work towards with confidence.
