The ambitious commercial fit-out transformed a legacy 1990s structure into 25,000 sq. ft. of high-specification, CAT A open-plan office space, culminating in a successful pre-letting to an international corporate tenant for its UK headquarters. Working alongside leading commercial architects as part of a total façade rejuvenation featuring modern curtain walling and an impressive new entrance, our building services consultancy engineered an energy-efficient MEP strategy tailored to complement the building’s airtight envelope and strict sustainability goals.
To deliver a distinct “stand-out twist” on traditional commercial workspace while optimizing operational costs, Bedwell MEP specified a high-efficiency Variable Refrigerant Flow (VRF) heat recovery system for precision climate control. By deploying advanced heat-recovery control boxes, the multi-split VRF heat pumps capture waste thermal energy from spaces requiring cooling and redistribute it to areas needing heating, providing continuous heat recovery and significantly lowering operational carbon emissions. Our complete MEP engineering scope encompassed mechanical supply and extract ventilation, domestic public health services, automated building control systems (BMS), sitewide power distribution, intelligent architectural and landscape lighting, and life-safety security infrastructure.
