Albany Park
Encon Associates were commissioned by Howard Russel Construction to carry out multiple consultancy services to demonstrate building performance levels against BREEAM standards for Project Albany Park, a development consisting of three warehouse units with associated office accommodation.
The units intended as shell-built warehouses, with the associated office spaces being provided with comfort heating and cooling. Thermal calculations were carried out for compliance with BREEAM UK New Construction Guide 2018 (Non-Domestic) requirements, assessed against both the CIBSE Guide A and the TM52 thermal criteria.
Additionally, the development was assessed against BREEAM requirements with the aim was to achieve three credits under “Health and Wellbeing” (HEA) 05 – Acoustic performance and one credit under “Pollution” (POL) 05 Reduction of noise pollution rating.
