The strategic planning and design of the health science building within an existing City Campus. Project value £12m.
In addition, this project included impact analysis relating to existing facilities on the site. The environmental systems are designed to minimize energy use through passive cooling strategies and occupational control of chilled beam cooling systems.
Planning Issues
Building visualisations (pre-planning stage) modeled in 3D were produced by ourselves to inform the client and Architects of the servicing arrangements and to assist the planning submission.
Sustainable Design
The building uses thermal mass cooling, modeled and analysed during the design stage using dynamic analysis tools. Passive cooling techniques are included and have been proven to achieve comfortable internal environments. Heating is provided via a District Heating Main routed from a Combined Heat and Power plant located locally to the site. Heating and cooling energy consumption are reduced allowing the buildings energy CO2 emissions to be minimized. |
