SECTION 1 - OVERVIEW OF THE BUILDING & ENVIRONMENTAL STRATEGY

Description

The project with which this building user guide is concerned is designated English
Martyrs School, Replacement Block and specifically details the mechanical and electrical
services installations.

The building is a new three storey construction with classrooms, dining room, kitchen,
toilets, changing facilities and science laboratories distributed over the three floors.

The services comprise a main ground floor mechanical plant room and a separate LV
switch room that is fed from a new stand-alone substation and switch gear room that
has been constructed to the south of the new school, adjacent to the new sprinkler tank
and pump house. Air handling units are located on the roof, together with science
laboratory extract fans.

General User Information

The following environmental and energy efficient systems have been installed: -

Heat Recovery Ventilation Systems

A series of mechanical and natural heat recovery units have been installed throughout
the building. Each unit imparts heat energy from the extracted air to the supply air via
the units crossflow plate heat exchanger.

Lighting

LED light fittings have been utilised throughout the building, which use considerably less
energy than conventional light fittings.

Important Energy Saving Notes

Do not overheat or over-cool your space as this will increase running costs and causes
extra emissions of CO2 into the external atmosphere, contributing to global warming.

Ensure that PCs, printers etc. are not left ON unnecessarily and have any energy saving
features enabled as this will prevent your space from overheating and save energy,
thereby reducing CO2 emissions to the external atmosphere that lead to global warming.

Air Tightness Test

The air infiltration test was carried out by Stroma Built Environment Limited.

The design air permeability rate was 5.00m3.h-1.m-2 @ 50Pa.

As the result of the test, 2.11m3.h-1.m-2 @50Pa, was lower than the design air
permeability rate, the building has passed.

Materials & Waste Policy

To be incorporated upon receipt.

Heating Systems

LTHW Boilers & Associated Equipment

Low temperature hot water (LTHW) is generated by 1No floor standing, gas fired three
module condensing boiler located in the ground floor plant room and provide the
heating requirements of the building.

The boiler, manufactured by Hamworthy Heating, model UF750-3 is designed to give a
heating output of 688 kW at a 80/60°C and 740 kW at 50/30°C and is fully automatic
with temperature and gas controls to provide automatic and safe operation.

The boiler is provided with a combustion gas flue, via which the gases are discharged to
atmosphere to above roof level, with natural gas being provided to the boiler from the
incoming metered gas supply.

Primary LTHW is circulated between the boiler and a flow and return low loss pipework
header via a duty / standby pumpset.

The LTHW system is a sealed system, whose design working pressure and water content
are automatically maintained by means of a boosted cold water fed pressurisation unit,
and associated system water expansion vessel. An air/dirt separator and chemical dosing
pot are also installed within the ground floor plant room to remove gases and dirt from
the system water and to facilitate the periodic introduction of water treatment
chemicals to the system, respectively.

Secondary LTHW Heating Distribution

Secondary low temperature hot water (LTHW) is drawn from the flow and return low
loss header a duty/standby pump set, to serve the heating coils in the natural and
mechanically ventilation heat recovery units, radiators, radiant panels in main hall,
sports hall, fitness / activity studios and the heating coils in the AHUs.

The LTHW is distributed via a main flow and return pipework system from the plant
room to the relevant areas, where branch pipework connections are taken off to serve
the various emitters.

the doors, enabling free egress from the secure areas.

which will automatically close in the event of a fire alarm activation.

SECTION 11 - RE-FIT, REFURBISHMENT & MAINTENANCE ARRANGEMENTS

General User Information

The repositioning of furniture and / or erection of new furniture, screens, etc should only
be carried out in consultation with the facilities manager, who will assess fire strategy for
any potential hazard and also ensure essential services are not obstructed, resulting in a
possible hazard or reduction in building performance.

Facilities Management Information

Wherever possible utilise existing materials for works, however if this is not possible the
use of recycled materials and Green Guide “A” rated materials should be considered as
far as practicably possible.

Any changes to increase the number of people in areas will have an effect on the
capabilities of the ventilation system due to the resulting additional heat gains from the
extra people within the space and any associated equipment such as computers.
Increasing the occupancy levels above the design may also affect the fire strategy.
