Project Description:
ESP is currently involved in several schemes in the South of England. Examples include:
Chinchilla Drive, Hounslow
The project comprises the demolition of an existing multi-storey car park and the construction of a new three storey medical centre with administration facilities and a pharmacy. Due to the proximity of the site to the A30 and Heathrow natural ventilation was not permissible and as such the ventilation strategy/filtration was a key factor in satisfying local planning conditions.
Lambton Road, Raynes Park
The project comprises the demolition of four existing buildings and the construction of a new four storey medical centre incorporating a dental practice, minor
operating suite, administration facilities and a pharmacy.
Woolwich Arsenal
The project comprises the fit-out of developers shell located at ground floor level of a multi-storey residential block. The unit comprises a medical centre with administration facilities and a pharmacy.
The existing development incorporates a CHP unit which is being utilised to contribute towards domestic hot water and electrical power for the medical centre.
The existing development also includes a sealed façade and as such a mechanical ventilation strategy was necessary to satisfy Building Regulation requirements.
Key Challenges and Sustainability for these projects:
- All MedicX projects have included the preparation of thermal models in order to determine compliance with Part L of the Building Regulations.
- A key challenge on the schemes to date has been the requirement to achieve BREEAM excellent for engineering; this has resulted in the inclusion of various onsite generation technologies and renewable technologies including photovoltaic panels and air source heat pumps.
