Radius Campus, Crewe

We were employed by Pochin Developments Limited to provide strategic MEP design & cost advice together with performance duties for the M&E engineering services for this new BREEAM Very Good, 64,000sqft  Grade A office development for Radius Payment Solutions.

The four-storey project at Crewe Business Park includes a gym, communal meeting areas and café.

Our Building & Energy Modelling Team supported our M&E engineers to deliver a Target Emission Rating of 25.8 and a Building Emission Rating of 17.5.  The building scored a 32% improvement on Part L.  It also achieved an EPC A Rating.

This was delivered with enhanced U values and enhanced solar glazing to reduce energy demand for heating & cooling.  Heating and cooling were provided via high efficient heat pumps (COP heating 4.97 / cooling 6.29) serving ducted Fan Coil Units with heat recovery.  Fresh air was provided from Variable Air Volume central plant with motorised dampers, air quality sensors & variable speed drive to provide only the requisite amount of fresh air and isolate unoccupied wings.  The design also included LED lighting.

The project has been awarded the prestigious accolade of;

• RICS NW Commercial Property of the Year 2019  (read more here)

The project was also shortlisted for the following awards;

• BCO Corporate Workplace North of England 2019
• RICS NW Design & Innovation Award 2019

The fit-out was undertaken by Overbury.
