Pick Everard designs sustainable building services

A Pick Everard product story
Edited by the Buildingtalk editorial team Mar 19, 2010

Pick Everard has designed sustainable and energy efficient building services for the Hugh Aston Building at De Montfort University (DMU) in Leicester.

Pick Everard first began working on this project at the end of 2006.

Using specialist software, engineers carried out detailed thermal modelling and simulation exercises before developing and agreeing a building services strategy that meets the university's requirements.

Where possible, the building has been designed to use natural and hybrid ventilation techniques and sustainable features including ground source heat pumps, adiabatic cooling to air handling units, solar hot water arrays and daylight-linked lighting.

At the design stage, the project achieved a BREEAM Excellent rating and as construction completes on-site, is still on target.
