Rob Harris, Senior Principal and Mixed use & Residential sector lead

Introba understand the residential and mixed use marketplace, taking a multi-disciplinary approach to projects.

Building services are essential to the operation and functionality of mixed use & residential developments. They are critical for maintaining a comfortable, healthy and safe environment for residents, workers, and visitors.

Building services play a key role in the energy efficiency and sustainability of a mixed-use development. Properly designed and maintained systems can help to reduce energy consumption, lower costs, and minimise the development’s environmental impact.

Inspiring Change. Empowering Changemakers.

KEY FOCUS AREAS FOR YOUR MIXED USE/RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT

Get the basics right

STRATEGIC WORK

We take a holistic performance-led approach to designing passive and active systems for mixed use & residential led schemes. The focus on compliance and tick boxing is a trend that we are actively working to change and have assisted in updating the Gl A london Plan via our lETI leadership (low Energy Transformation Initiative). We have also provided the industry with research and publications carried out with CIBSE on embodied carbon.

Bringing our industry leading knowledge

Building services play a crucial role in the comfort and safety of a building’s occupants.

Building a Positive Impact

We combine leading-edge technical knowledge with a sensitivity to architecture, heritage and interior design. We’re experienced in the commercial realities with regard to effective use of space, repetition of design efficiencies and the need to balance efficiency with brand value.

Collaboration

Our Clients say that we are pro-active, reliable and responsive, easy to work with, professional, trustworthy and good value for money. This is provided in conjunction with a very personal level of service.

Our experience design world class hotels has confirmed the value of our collaborative approach. By listening to how a client operates their existing buildings, we are able to learn where systems are currently under-performing and how they impact on operational efficiency.

Practical Innovation

We specialise in the design of simple, elegant, cost-effective systems for high performance building environments. Our engineering is backed up by comprehensive analysis that help prioritise energy saving potential and carbon reduction effect. Driving down energy use reduces operational cost, an approach that can be summarised as ‘practical innovation’.

Building systems need to be robust, economic and easily operated by staff, and guests.

Comfort at the heart

Comfort of both staff and guests is a critical success factor. A concierge that is too hot or too cold, subject to draughts, or with inappropriate lighting cannot offer the quality of service that is demanded and could lead to guests not returning.

Within this context, a holistic approach to the design of building services is essential. We select systems informed by a genuine understanding of the many physical and psychological factors that affect human comfort.

Complex Coordination

Working with confined sites is never without its surprises. Aware of these pitfalls we endeavour to identify potential co-ordination issues early in the design process.

Three dimensional REVIT models are developed in areas of complex coordination so that we can ‘build before we build’.

This will be particularly important when integrating with an existing services infrastructure.

Design for Performance

We employ the latest dynamic thermal simulation and energy modelling tools to test the performance of HVAC systems designs.

This is especially important in historic buildings where natural ventilation, infiltration, thermal mass and limits on fabric performance have a major impact on HVAC systems performance. Equally in modern buildings controlling overheating and extremes of temperature is key. Although the form of the building is set we still see that we need to play an important part in the schemes detailed design development in this area.

ESG Credentials

LEADING BY DOING

Our fifth annual CSER report was published in 2022. Some of Introba’s key initiatives include our Introba Gives programme, a global framework formalising our commitment and approach to Giving Back. Another initiative is our global impact fund, where employees submit applications which impact our industry, resulting in white papers to develop thought leadership. We hold the JUST™ 2.0 social justice label - the first company to achieve this benchmark and are founding signatories of the WorldGBC Net Zero Carbon Buildings Commitment.

SUSTAINABILITY STRATEGY WORKSHOP

We offer Sustainability Strategy Workshops on all of our projects that include the following:

Identify strategic ambitions, goals and performance targets tailored to the project context

Develop contextually appropriate, scientifically robust, and stretching key performance indicators

Raise project team awareness of how delivering our Client’s ESG commitments will affect project decision making, option evaluation and selection

Establish a roadmap for delivering the ESG strategy including responsibilities and governance

ESG IN PRACTICE

A recent example of how we embed ESG thinking on all our projects is for a Confidential Media Client, which we delivered the CAT B design for their london HQ. Following the sustainability workshop, we developed a bespoke score card for the key objectives of the project, which was checked at all RIBA stages, where the design team were held to account on deliverables. Example below. We also carried out embodied carbon studies to support our review and decision making throughout the design.

As an outcome of the sustainability workshop, we mapped against a variety of certifications to assess the alignment of the certification schemes to the project objectives and KPI’s set. Below is a summary of the ten key themes which address the objectives identified for the project.

EMBODIED CARBON

Tackling embodied carbon becomes ever more important, with MEP systems playing a disproportionate and largely hidden role.

Introba developed with CIBSE an internationally recognised methodology for calculating the embodied carbon of MEP systems published as CIBSE TM 65, followed by TM65.1 Embodied Carbon in Building Services : Residential Heating. In 2020 we published Refrigerants & Environmental Impacts: A Best Practice Guide - a free resource for industry.

HEALTH + WELLBEING

Our colleagues in California led the MEP peer review for the first version of the WEll Building Standard, and our UK team provided free WEll training to over 1,000 built environment professionals in 2015. Introba’s london office became Europe’s first Fitwel certified workplace in 2017. We are the lead authors of the BCO’s roadmap to wellbeing in the workplace Wellness Matters.

SOCIAL VALUE

Our social value initiatives are measured against the five government social value themes and in coordination with the TOM’s framework:

Theme 1 – Covid 19 Recovery

Theme 2 – Tackling economic equality

Theme 3 – Fighting Climate Change

Theme 4 – Equal opportunity

Theme 5 – Wellbeing

We also have experience using the Social Value Portal, most recently on one of our large scale mixed use projects for Enfield Council. Using the social value calculator, we can record the hours we have committed to each initiative, which is then converted into physical costs for each output. Introba update the portal monthly with any new activity, we are then measured against our targets by the client.

DESIGN FOR PERFORMANCE

For over a decade our energy modelling team have been applying design for performance principles to design MEP systems and optimise the performance of building form and envelope to achieve real energy savings, and to assess overheating risk and climate change resilience. With extensive experience in NABERS transferred from our colleagues in Australia.

Introba are industry leaders in ESG for the built environment.

Epping Town Centre Regeneration: Exciting new residential led, mixed use development focussing on bringing affordable/ social housing, health & wellbeing and sports facilities to residents, enhancing the social value of the area.

Nottingham Island Quarter

Nottingham, UK

The Nottingham based site was previously derelict for 26 years and is now being redeveloped into ‘The Island Quarter’ which will provide new homes, grade A office space, a five-star hotel, retail units and student accommodation. Phase 1 will focus on regenerating the canal area, creating new food, beverage and events spaces. Phase 1B also includes a hotel, restaurants, residential apartments and a 100m long forum for social gatherings.

One of the key challenges faced by the project team was managing the extension of an existing district heating system which already served part of the site. In order to maximise on both cost and efficiency, Introba carried out a specialist district heating appraisal to identify the capital cost, running cost and long term carbon emissions associated with the extension of the existing network in comparison with the creation of a standalone network, assuring that the correct decision was made.

Through the implementation of a focused energy strategy and environmental design, the site will see predicted savings of up to 21% of regulated emissions. To become net zero ready, the lifecycle impact of materials has also been considered.

Hallsville Quarter London, UK

The Hallsville Quarter project is a large multiphase, mixed use residential, commercial and retail development, which includes 100,000ft2 of Grade A office space, 1100 homes, 120,000ft2 of student accommodation and over 400,000ft2 of retail and leisure inclusive of a hotel and community facilities.

Acting as client advisor, Introba undertook detailed analysis and modelling of the existing energy centre. We identified potential reduction in required plant capacity, which instigated matching new plant selections with the predicted much lower energy demand to improve operational efficiency. This will bring significant energy savings and reduce costs.

We also implemented both a sustainability vision and a value-based MEP and Building Physics client briefing process to maintain the development quality. This strategic advice not only includes setting the standards and aspirations, but also includes an ongoing role to maintain value for the client.

Initial stages of work also directed the strategic outcomes for massing, envelope, MEP systems and energy and carbon strategy.

Millharbour London, UK

This project is a new build, mixed-use residential development comprising of two high rise buildings, 29 and 31 stories tall. The site will contain apartments with a selection reserved for social housing. Ground floor spaces will comprise retail and restaurants, a GP surgery and a nursery.

Introba were awarded this project post-planning and held a sustainability charette workshop with stakeholders to build consensus around a new energy strategy. We are providing full MEP, energy modelling, sustainability consultation and fire prevention.

The new energy strategy removes all combustion from site, by using heat pumps instead of gas. This increases carbon savings in both construction and operational phases. Energy will be delivered through a centralised ambient loop air source heat pump. This will limit circulation losses from unused energy and reduces infrastructure requirements for the building, reducing whole life carbon emissions and increasing user comfort and satisfaction.

With an anticipated carbon reduction now greater than 45%, it now comfortably meets requirements to avoid carbon offset payments and has become a model for the surrounding areas.

Epping Multiple Developments

Essex, UK

This new regeneration development for Epping County Council consists of five sites currently used by an existing sports centre, former school, town council building and car parks. There development will be turned into a mixture of houses and apartments offering a range of private for sale homes, high quality rented homes and affordable housing aligned with Epping County Council’s affordability criteria. Proposals also include an enhanced leisure centre, multi-level car parking (including electric car charging points), retail, offices, cinema and community space to complement the established High Street.

The project challenges included proving the economic viability of the sustainability measures that we have developed and incorporating these into our design. The client brief is for an affordable, sustainable development, so we did a cost benefit analysis for the swimming pool site to provide evidence of the impact of our sustainability measures. These findings have been incorporated into the planning proposal which has been submitted.

It was incredibly important for the client that we showed how our sustainability measures can go beyond the local plan and work towards a net zero development.

An exciting area of growth for Oxfordshire, North West Bicester is seeing the build of a new community set to be environmentally, socially, and economically sustainable. The village is due to see a build of around 6,000 homes, new employment opportunities and attractive amenities. It is aiming to have among the highest eco credentials in the UK – making this development extremely unique.

Introba’s work on the project was essential in providing sustainable amenities, creating a community hub where residence can socialise and collaborate with one another. We provided the client and partners with expert knowledge to take the scheme forward to the next stage, ensuring the sustainability aims would be met by all buildings, specifically ones that involve much more intensive energy use than a typical residence.

Introba invoked thought leadership through creating and providing workshops with potential tenants, developers, and clients, working closely with them to understand how the needs of each stakeholder could be delivered – whether it be ensuring sustainability targets were met for the client, or ensuring the development made business sense for new tenants.

Every home has been designed to be true zero-carbon to minimise waste and improve efficiency by keeping homes naturally cool during the summer and warm during the winter.
