Developing high-level mechanical and electrical strategies to inform building massing, plant location, servicing routes and energy concepts during the planning phase
IN2 conducts feasibility studies with with the intent to upgrade M&E services to suit the proposed function
As part of this feasibility study, cost benefit analysis relating to the upgrade of light, heat and ventilation systems (and their control systems) will compare proposed solutions with historical energy use data at the site.
A range of renewable options are considered and their sustainability and cost cutting benefits are assessed alongside the impacts of any passive design measures such as building fabric improvements and their associated benefits.
Early MEP input helps avoid late-stage redesign, ensures technical deliverables and supports robust planning submissions
Following the site visit, our engineers use SiteWorks to produce a bespoke survey report. SiteWorks is industry specific software which enables IN2 to identify and record specifics about the site and circulate them to the project team.
IN2’s holistic approach at this early stage gives our engineers a greater window of opportunity to identify any innovative measures that can be implemented to offset costs and increase energy efficiency.
