Beckfoot School – HVAC & Compliance Review

As an initial project, Energy & Technical Services attended site and completed an initial survey of the existing HVAC systems following numerous complaints of heating issues. The survey included an inspection of O&M information, a non-intrusive inspection of HVAC plant and equipment as well as analysis of the BeMS. On completion, a detailed report was issued containing information on the suitability of the plant, current plant condition, standard of maintenance and BeMS strategy.

Following this, we carried out a desktop-based analysis of the existing ‘as fitted’ drawings and supplementary documentation provided to identify if the installed ventilation systems met the Department of Education Design & Build standards and regulations guidelines. The survey covered a pre-selected area of the school identified by our Technical Energy Centre (TEC) as poor performing.

Challenge

Both reports were presented to various stakeholders including school Governors, Teachers, M&E contractors and Department of Education Consulting representatives, therefore, the information presented needed to be easy to read and understandable for a technical & non-technical audience.

Added Value / Achievements

The client was provided with a better understanding of how the HVAC system works and its limitations along with a detailed review of the current condition of the plant and controls. Recommended action points, remedial works and solutions were also presented to resolve the heating issues identified.

Midcounties Co-Operative – Solar Panel Installation Assessment

This project aimed to understand how solar PV installation will benefit the client long term. We have identified the yield and efficiency of solar PV and what the cost of repurposing a number of solar PV panels that were in storage specifically for Co-op. This developed into a compatibility study for solar panel installation across 44 sites.

Date Palm Developments – Complete Building Solutions

Date Palm Developments (DPD) approached ETS to design, install, and commission a new Building Management System (BMS) for their proposed "Ottons Lab." Given the complex nature of the facility, which specialises in plant cloning, highly detailed designs relating to HVAC controls and operational security were necessary to maintain optimal conditions for both plant growth and occupant comfort in the office areas.

BNP Paribas – Simulated Power Failure

The power test was successful with back-up power supplies, fire alarms, emergency lighting, pedestrian access systems all operating as expected during power failure. All equipment operated correctly and efficiently when power was reinstated.
