Our Building Services Disciplines Include: 

Mechanical Engineering  The quality of a buildings internal environment plays a significant role in determining its fitness for the purpose for which it was designed. The mechanical engineer by the application of modern control technology allied to energy efficient heating ventilation and air conditioning systems allows occupants to vary conditions within the building although this all starts with working with the architect to ensure the buildings form is sufficiently thermally efficient to enable energy targets to be met or exceeded.  

Examples of projects the Building Services team are involved in include: 

• Forbury Place Reading  AECOM were involved with the development of two newbuild office developments totaling circa 400000 sq ft. Building 2 has recently won the prestigious BCO regional award and has been put forward for the national finals.

Sustainable features include 700m2 photovoltaic panels (350m2 per building) air source heat pumps and rainwater harvesting. 
• Medical and Dental Facility RAF Valley Anglesey Wales. The detailed design and specification for a new facility based on the RAF site on Anglesey in North Wales. The building services needed to be designed in accordance with the usual British Standards and Building regulations as well as incorporating relevant parts of the Health technical Memoranda (HTMs) as required for compliance with Hospital standards. Further to this the facility also had to comply with the JSP Guidelines for MOD establishments in the UK. The project was delivered in 3D to aid with clash detection and coordination with the building and structural elements
