Kavanagh Court

In 2014 GV8 (trading as Aurea Consult at the time) was engaged by Mullins Investments Limited to assess the daylight sunlight levels associated with a proposed development on Gardiner Street, Dublin 1. The proposed development related principally to the delivery of student accommodation within a 16,994 m2 purpose built facility.

‍

Having completed a full suit of impact testing GV8 was able to conclude that the daylight levels associated with this project were in full conformity with BRE Guidelines.

‍

Key Services Provided Included:

• Vertical Sky Component (VSC) testing to assess loss of skylight access to neighbouring accommodation.

• Annual Probable Sunlight Hours (APSH) testing to assess the loss of sunlight to neighbouring accommodation.

• Sun on Ground (SOG) testing to assess the loss of sunlight to neighbouring recreation spaces.

• Production of supplementary shadow casting imagery.

‍

Dublin City Council granted permission for this development in September 2015.
