	BedZED - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		BedZED or the Beddington Zero Energy Development, is an environmentally-friendly housing development near Beddington, England.
		BedZED was designed by the architect Bill Dunster who was looking for a more sustainable way of building housing in urban areas.
		The project was conducted as a partnership between BioRegional, The Peabody Trust and Bill Dunster Architects.

	Bedzed Text
		We visited Bedzed in winter when the shadows were just past their greatest lengths and were pleasantly surprised to see the extent of sun penetration throughout the development.
		Bedzed draws on the tradition of high density, very simple, repetitive terraces that have dominated London and indeed all the large English cities for the past 100 years.
		The house types at Bedzed however, could only benefit from the sun from a southerly aspect, as the length of shadows from an east west sun position would cause severe shading in winter, precisely when heat input from the sun is required.

	Untitled Document
		BedZED is an award winning, 92 home urban village, in south London, that has demonstrated that carbon neutral ecological living can be affordable, attractive and commercially successful.
		BedZED has its origins with the BioRegional Development Group, an independent environmental organisation which develops products and services designed to meet our everyday needs from local renewable and waste resources, and to demonstrate that humans can live quite happily while consuming only their fair share of the Earth’s resources.
		BedZED is a deliberately high density settlement, with 82 homes on just 1.6 hectares, including a large green open space with space for allotment gardens, and yet every home has either a conservatory, and/or a private rooftop garden on top of the workspace roofs that can accommodate raised beds.

		BedZED meets all its energy demands from renewable, carbon-neutral sources, generated on site, and so eliminates the 29% contribution to CO 2 emissions and global warming.
		The total embodied CO 2 of BedZED is 675kg/m 2, whilst typical volume house builders build to 600-800kg/m 2.
		BedZED's local sourcing policy was able to source 52% of the materials from within the target 35 mile radius.

		BedZED exhibited excellent qualities in terms of sustainable development, but the process that was used in its creation is far from orthodox.
		The goal of BedZED is to incorporate all of the sustainable practices that BDA had previously employed in separate designs to result in a Zero Emissions Development.
		BedZED residents are encouraged to use a bike, and BedZED gives all residents information on bike purchasing and repair, as well as giving them space to store their bikes.

	NE Sun: Urban Solar Village
		Beddington Zero Energy Development, or BedZED, is a bold and daring urban solar village in south London, located within walking distance of the Hackbridge train station in Sutton.
		BedZED is an 82-unit mixed-use solar village rigorously contoured to permit maximum solar access, with 109kW of PV integrated into the roofs and south-facing triple-glazed greenhouses.
		Fully aware of the arguable "carbon neutral" properties of biomass energy, BedZED’s developers went a step further to ensure that the wood chips used as fuel are from tree trimming (presumably municipal), burning what would otherwise be composted.

		The BedZED model is based on research undertaken by Bill Dunster over the last 7 years exploring the practicalities of carbon neutral developments.
		It is predicted that the average BedZED household could save 44,350 litres of water per year and about £49 in reduced water bills per year using a water efficient washing machine (Ove Arup and Partners, 1999).
		Much of the heat required for BedZED homes and offices will be provided as a consequence of the building design, heat from the sun, body heat of occupants and every day activities such as cooking and running office equipment.

	Better Homes and Garbage - January/February 2005 - Sierra Magazine - Sierra Club
		Called BedZED by its creator and "the UK's most revolutionary housing" by the Manchester Guardian, the 82-unit development is built on the cleaned-up site of an old sewage plant and blends work and living space, rentals and private homes.
		BedZED’s bricks were made locally, reducing transport costs and pollution; its wood exterior is sustainably logged green oak, also from a local source.
		In fact, according to Dunster, if BedZED's density were replicated, the UK could restore and reuse the nation's brownfields, or contaminated properties, and build the 3 million homes the government says are needed by 2016 with no loss of open space.

		But that was before visiting BedZED — a new "eco-village" that gives residents a high standard of living and at the same time reduces their impact on the earth's environment.
		So when Pooran started the BedZED development, a key factor was to design and build homes and offices that make it easy, affordable, and attractive to live and work in a sustainable way.
		And, rather than owning their own car, the residents and office workers are encouraged to use public transport, shared onsite cars, or electric vehicles powered by the onsite solar panels.

		Workspace is placed in the shade zones of south facing housing terraces, with skygardens created on the workspace roofs, enabling all flats to have outdoor garden areas, with good access to sunlight, at the same time as providing well day lit workspace without problematic summer overheating.
		The BedZED system is a third generation design developed over a five year period by Bill Dunster architects.
		The partners in the BedZED team have now begun work on the fourth generation design based on the same brief - with the same densities, plot yields, and energy efficiency, but examining the capability to reduce build costs and build duration, by adding prefabrication.

	Resurgence Editors' Selection - ONE PLANET LIVING by Jonathan Dawson
		BedZED was created to demonstrate that it is possible to design our communities in such a way that people, irrespective of their personal beliefs and values, may live sustainably within their 'fair share' ecological footprint, even in the heart of the industrialised world.
		BedZED's attempt to apply this principle to the design of settlements is of the greatest interest and importance.
		Settlements based on the BedZED model are planned for the Thames Valley and Portugal, and the medium-term aim is to establish five One Planet Living Communities around the world on every continent in both developed and developing countries by 2009.

		BedZED’s target is a 50% reduction in fossil-fuel consumption by private car use over the next ten years compared with a conventional development.
		BedZED’s 10-year target is to produce enough electricity from photovoltaic panels (which convert sunlight into energy) to power 40 electric vehicles.
		BedZED should encourage low car ownership through the use of car hire clubs and aim to use electric cars for short distance travel.

		Indeed, four years after opening, BedZed's mission to show how people can live without exceeding their fair share of the world's resources has yet to be fulfilled.
		But Bill Dunster, BedZed's architect, who has built a career propagating BedZed's design principles around the world, says solutions to the community's problems are at hand and the project that made his name is close to getting back on its zero-carbon track.
		The schism between the developer and architect is seen in their approach to solving the problems at BedZed, with Dunster working hard to find a replacement biomass CHP system, and Desai arguing for the more tried and tested technology of biomass heating, with electricity imported on a green tariff.
