Energy Project Management – Education
Demolition and reconstruction of an education facility under an HQE approach and RT2005 compliance. The project delivered a high-performance envelope with external insulation and double-glazed windows, integrated PV membrane and solar thermal panels, water recovery system, gas condensing boiler, dual-flow AHUs with >80% heat recovery, and an energy & water monitoring system. BAARCH managed commissioning, occupancy transition, and maintenance planning.
Detailed Assessment
- Project type: demolition & reconstruction with HQE and RT2005 compliance.
- Envelope strategy: external insulation, double-glazed windows.
- Integration of renewable systems: PV membrane and solar thermal panels.
Performance Evaluation
- Established baseline KPIs for energy and water use.
- Verified heat recovery efficiency >80% for dual-flow AHUs.
- Assessed seasonal efficiency of condensing boiler.
Diagnostic Testing
- Functional performance tests on AHUs, PV, solar thermal loop, and boiler.
- Air/water balancing and control sequence verification.
- Validation of energy & water monitoring system accuracy.
Maintenance Review
- Post-handover preventive maintenance plan for all systems.
- Operator training on seasonal changeover and alarm response.
- Creation of asset register and critical spare-parts inventory.
System Optimization
- Optimized control for heat recovery and setpoints.
- Adjusted boiler return temperature for condensing mode.
- Scheduling aligned with occupancy patterns.
Efficiency Improvement
- Continuous monitoring with KPI dashboards and alarms.
- Seasonal recommissioning and performance reviews.
- Identified roadmap for incremental efficiency gains.
Result: a fully operational, energy-efficient education facility with monitored performance, sustainable systems integration, and a clear maintenance strategy to preserve savings over time.
