Stonegrove Retrofit & Infrastructure

Planning for the phase 2 retrofit works at our project for Kingston university are firmly under way with our phase 2 site kick off meeting. With a scope of works to retrofit 6 floors of fan coil unit systems and the upgrade of LTHW Pipework accross all floors. This summers phase will be challenging to ensure heat on for the new academic term, with a limited programme duration for summer shut down. Throw into the mix the forming of a new internal mezzanine floor and internal dry wall modifications 🏗️👷♂️ #retrofit #construction #infrastructure

Over the past year more emphasis has been placed on carbon reduction, kWh reduction and EUI reduction when assessing buildings for retrofit. Energy Performance Certificates are an essential piece of legislation that requires a landlord to provide a building with a minimum score of ‘E’. An EPC assessment is a combined assessment taking into account Carbon and kWh. Stonegrove R&I offer a unique EPC appraisal service where we can establish the as built score for an asset. Followed by modelled intervention advice specific to improving the EPC score of the asset up to A+ Our engineering team are qualified Non Domestic EPC assessors offering a more in depth and bespoke assessment with the ability to analyse existing installations to try and make them more efficient versus complete replacement. Please get in contact should you require an EPC focussed assessment for you asset paired with cost, programme and enabling works advice for potential improvement interventions. #EPC #Retrofit #Energy #lowcarbon #MEES

A bright and chilly start to the week for Stonegrove R&I. On site to complete MEPH & Life Safety Systems validations at The Surrey Quays Shopping Centre on behalf of our client British Land. Do you have a project planned with the intention to re use and retain existing infrastructure and systems? We provide a deep dive validation service to provide appraisal of as built services for analysis for retrofit. #retrofit #validations #MEPH #lifesafety

Another day .. this time a “gas guzzling shed” a difficult discussion to have with clients and customers surrounds the unit cost for gas (average 5p per kWh) where electric is in excess of 20p per kWh. The requirement to “de-gas” presents a potential financial implication in large spaces requiring a consistent ambient temperature set point when considering electrification of the existing fossil fuel heat source. How do we combat this ? We have to approach these projects in a different manner with emphasis on heat recovery systems and BMS to make better use of heat rejection within occupied spaces. Re-thinking existing design criteria and strategy, reducing the need for a heat source. Do you have a project that requires an energy efficiency or de-carbonisation assessment, but don’t know where to start or look? Please get in touch with one the team below who can assist Brad Bennett CEng Andrew Phillips Matthew Arnold #logistics #EPC #energyefficiency #retrofit

Another day .. another “mega shed” Stonegrove R&I were commissioned by our valued client to complete a de-carbonisation assessment for a logistics unit based in Yorkshire. With a tenant consuming large amounts of electricity per year and low occupancy levels due to the deployment of autonomous packing equipment. Thinking outside the box on this one was key. Working in partnership with WP3 Ltd a baseline dynamic thermal model was established with metering data correlated to simulate conditions for intervention. We look forward to implementing retrofit interventions on this one 🌍 🏗️ #retrofit #decarbonisation #EPC #UKGBC #energyefficiency

Great progress on site at our 26 storey project in Old Street where we are completing the base build mechanical services installation for our client Elements Europe Overseen by our director Andrew Phillips we look forward to installations progressing and 2nd fix commencing in the coming months. It has been great to be involved in such an innovative project where off site pod fabrication has been deployed for the high specification hotel rooms. #MEPH #infrastructure #stonegrove #construction

On site for our valued client to complete a de-carbonisation assessment for a logistics unit in the midlands. With the brief to improve the EPC score for the unit whilst reducing energy consumption and carbon emissions. The requirement to deliver a constant ambient temperature of 16 degrees to the main area of warehouse area presents a challenging scenario to remove natural gas demand for such a large space. Do you have an asset that requires retrofit but you are unsure how to approach this? Get in touch with the team Brad Bennett CEng Andrew Phillips Matthew Arnold #retrofit #lowcarbon #assessment #EPC #MEES #logistics #distribution

Great work by the team Stonegrove Retrofit & Infrastructure with works complete ready for the energy centre retrofit to support new heat pump provisions in place of the existing natural gas provision 🌟
