This project consists of a two storey building that provides practical plumbing and electrical work, plus flexible build spaces, testing areas, mobile workbenches, breakout and show case areas, and associated classrooms, offices and storage spaces.
In accordance with the sustainability requirements of the local authority, a BREEAM Excellent rating was successfully achieved for this project.
Part of the sustainability strategy included a combined heat and power system, and solar PV on the roof.
As the BREEAM Assessors and AP on the project, SCS engaged with the design process to help maximise the BREEAM rating and deliver best value for the client.
SCS has worked closely with the design team and contractor and our support includes:
• BREEAM Assessor
• BREEAM AP during design and construction.
• Life Cycle Assessments
• Life Cycle Costing Report
• Chair of BREEAM focused waste and climate change workshops
