Happy Birthday E3 On Monday, we celebrated 15 years of E3 Consulting Engineers. We had a lovely lunch reminiscing about E3’s journey to 2025, ate a fantastic cake 🍰 made by Isabelle, one of our multi-talented Senior Engineers and cake maker extraordinaire, and enjoyed the blue skies of March. Here’s to another 15 years of exciting collaborations, inspiring projects, and reducing the carbon emissions of the built environment🌱

Birthday time! 📢 15 years ago, on the 1st March 2010, E3 Consulting Engineers was set up by Andy Jarvis, Andy Worsick and Hugh Griffiths. A few milestones, reflections and numbers on the eve of our anniversary…. - E3 stands for Energy, Engineering, Environment, and explains our business in 3 words, and is at the heart of what we strive to deliver. - We are lucky to have work on many inspiring projects across a range of sectors including theatres, museums, schools, universities, homes, hotels, sports facilities, & community buildings. - Collaboration has always been at the centre of what we do, and we are grateful to our clients and fellow designers. You know who you are! - E3 is nothing without our amazing team, past and present. Building services is a discipline where every project needs the talents of a group of people working together. There’s too much for just one person to do. - Since we started, E3 has worked on 385 projects across the UK, from short feasibility studies to large/complex schemes delivered over many years. - Sustainable design is at the core of our business, with experience of BREEAM, zero carbon and Passivhaus certified projects. We designed two of the first Passivhaus certified commercial buildings in the UK back in 2010, and have gone on to design several more since then. - We were proud to add our signatures to the Building Services Engineers Declare Climate and Biodiversity Emergency in 2023. - Some of our most challenging buildings are also the most rewarding, and 33 of our projects have been recognised with awards. And counting… - In early 2020 we relocated from Bath to central Bristol, to Queen Square House, a building originally constructed in 1889 to the plans of William Venn Gough. We feel like a practice with our feet in two great cities. - We have welcomed 21 student engineers, on year-in-industry placements from Bristol and Bath universities over the past 15 years, many of whom have gone on to work professionally in the built environment, including working with us here are E3. - In 2023 Mat Twitchen joined Hugh and Andy Worsick as a partner, and at the same time Andy Jarvis moved to a senior consultant role. We are planning to take a moment to reflect on the past 15 years with our team on Monday, and (more importantly) eat cake. 🎂 Thanks for joining us on the ride, and here’s to the next 15 years.... 🚀

Congratulations Stonewood Design!
Our Emily Hobhouse Museum project has been shortlisted for this year’s @riba South West and Wessex regional awards! 💃🏼🍷 The Story of Emily Museum celebrates the life of humanitarian Emily Hobhouse, who campaigned against the UK’s use of concentration camps in the Boer War. Located in her birthplace, the east Cornish village of St Ive, the museum site encompasses the rectory where she grew up in addition to a collection of new build and rebuilt elements. The museum building houses the War Rooms, an immersive exhibition that tells the story of the Anglo-Boer War and Hobhouse’s involvement in it as an activist.

I had an engaging session with the 3rd and 4th year students studying Architecture and Environmental Engineering at University of the West of England on Tuesday. It was another nice opportunity to reflect back on Edwards Court, a #passivhaus certified Extra Care scheme that we completed with Architype, Price & Myers and Kier Group a few years ago. The topic was natural ventilation and future climate adapation. We were set a brief of being future climate ready, which back in 2016 was a progressive approach by Exeter City Council and not something we commonly saw. We used the "Prometheus" future weather files generated by a research team at Exeter University to model the building using 2020, 2050 and 2080 projected weather. Today, future climate adapation is a mainstream part of client briefs for most buildings, so we are grateful to have learned from our work at Edwards Court. There are also weather files published by CIBSE for future climate analysis. Headlines were: 💡 Keep internal gains to a minimum (induction hobs, pipework insulation, lighting) 🌞 Keep the sun out (design for shutters as future adaptation, deciduous planting, optimised glazing) 🍃 Ventilate right (MVHR supplemented by nat vent, windows closed when it's warmer outside than in) ❄️ Cool the supply air during a heat wave 🧱 Thermal mass to modulate the peaks Thanks to Chris Puttick for inviting me along on Tuesday Thanks to Lee Fordham for sharing some useful content Thanks to Isabelle Ballinger for her amazing work analysing the building

Great to see this project getting started on site
We're delighted to announce that we have arrived on site to start work on the new arts and culture facility in Worcester. 👏 The project is a major initiative to create a new arts and entertainment centre for the city and boost footfall in the centre. Scala, based in a historic former cinema in Angel Place, will host live performance events alongside independent film, visual arts, and a wide range of participation-based creative activities, as well as a programme of educational outreach and talent development. 🎭 The beautiful art deco building is now set to disappear behind hoardings for 18 months before opening in its new form in the autumn of 2026.

ThrowbackFriday! A look back at the University of Bristol Humanities building after 5 years in use....
As M&E designers we don't often get the chance to see buildings a few years after they are completed, after the dust has settled, defects closed out, and everyone has moved onto new projects. I was lucky to have a good look round the Arts Faculty building at Bristol University on Friday. The project was a collaboration with ADP Architecture, JLL, Arup, Nicola Greaves, MACH ACOUSTICS LIMITED, ISG and CMB Engineering. It was completed in 2019, so has had 5 years of use. A few reflections: The building has aged really well - looking fresh! It is sensitively placed between the beautiful Georgian villas either side of the entrance. The hybrid ventilation strategy seems successful. There is mechanical venitlation with heat recovery in winter, and in summer simple manually controlled windows with external timber slats to allow overnight ventilation. Acoustics in the lecture theatre are really impressive. User feedback has been very positive. The breakout areas are popular amongst students. The lighting is looking great, especially the linear luminaires integrated with the acoustic fins on the first floor. A draught lobby would have been helpful at the main entrance. Could we have designed out actuators on high level windows? Actuators can be annoying when they open as they are not silent. The building is "district heating ready" and can be connected to a district heat network in the future. But will this ever happen? At the time the Carbon Emissions Factors used for gas and electricity in the BREEAM renewables options appraisal were getting out of date. Running the same calculations today would favour a heat pump. I think many buildings constructed in the last decade would now benefit from a heat pump, if the carbon emissions factors used in BREEAM assessments were based on a projection of the UK grid carbon into the future rather than outdated numbers. A missed opportunity on a national scale? A great project, and kudos to Isabelle Ballinger and Andrew Phillips for their excellent design.

We said a fond farewell to Liz last week after 9 years of amazing work, including leading on our ISO 9001 certification, marketing, invoicing, and bidding work. Not to mention getting us through a global pandemic. Liz is moving on to pastures closer to home, and we have a new Practice Manager starting in the new year - watch this space... Thank you, Elizabeth Goodsman!
After 9 very happy years, and with a tear in my eye, I have said goodbye to E3 Consulting Engineers. They really are the best team to work with. All the best guys and thanks for everything.
