Case Study
Oxford University Mathematical Institute
The challenge To maximise our Design for Manufacture & Assembly (DfMA) implementation, to accomplish the reduced M & E programme period, and to use innovative ‘Spelsberg’ cast in conduits with the Explore Industrial Park to deliver seamless exposed electrical services installation. Our key achievement was in achieving a BREEAM excellent rating, via a CFD simulated naturally ventilated scheme, in addition to daylight sensing, rainwater harvesting, PIR/solenoid operated water supplies, motorised solar shading and a large ground source bore field requiring only boilers to top up a cooling priority building. Our approach CHt was a key member of the team from the outset, providing advice on pre fabrication techniques, detailed modelling information and setting out of all final fix items to a
