Synopsis

A new two storey training facility that consists of, to the ground floor players dinning/lounge served by a full kitchen, media/conference room and changing facilities with showers, hydro treatment and ice baths.

At the first floor there’s a cardio gymnasium with exercise equipment and a free weights area, physiotherapy treatment rooms and ancillary office accommodation.

The new training facility was constructed on existing Nottingham Forest Training Ground without impacting on the operation or use of the overall facility.

Best in Class

Providing the modern training and treatment facility the new building contained a media room complete with Audio Visual equipment which can be utilised by both media and  Club for player training /coaching purposes.

To maximise the energy saving offered by daylight the lighting in the social spaces are controlled by automatic daylight sensors. The changing and showers where windows are limited high efficient lighting fitting are utilised.

Heat recovery ventilation units are installed throughout and the scheme also included a rain water harvesting system.

Synopsis

Consisting of 12No illuminated 5-A-Side artificial football pitches served by a sports social facility consisting of changing/shower rooms, bar-lounge and kitchen, Goals Soccer Centres offer the latest in sport recreation with 42 facilitates in the UK.

Anderson Green have designed the building services for many  of the facilities and have become Gaols Soccer Centres preferred BREEAM assessor.

Best in Class

To reduce the energy demand and carbon emissions of the previous design, LED lighting and more efficient heat recovery systems were introduced to the building services designs.

The overall environmental impact of the developments are assess via the BREEAM methodology with BREEAM Bespoke “Very Good” ratings being achieved.

Synopsis

Edgbaston Mill is a 200 bedroom Double Tree by Hilton hotel with adjacent three storey 3000m² health centre and spa and 180m² retail unit, all of which enjoys a prominent and highly visible location on the prestigious Calthorpe Estate, Edgbaston.

The building comprises of lower ground, ground floor and six storeys above ground.

The Hotel’s lower ground floor area will be utilised for car parking and plant areas, and the ground floor will contain three separately themed restaurants.

The first floor includes a 200 person function room, with the accommodation spread over the second to sixth floors of the building.

Best in Class

Reducing the typical high energy demand associated with hotels was a major consideration for the design of the building services.

The hotel lighting scheme predominately utilises LED luminaires closely controlled by a combination of  time clock, daylight, proximity card and presence detection.  High efficient air source heat pumps provide the bedrooms heating and cooling and the hot water is generated via a CHP unit which also serves the electrical services.

Client: University of Nottingham

Synopsis

The Energy Technologies Building is a £6.5m research centre which will bring together world-class experts in energy research at The University of Nottingham.

The 2500 m² facility will provide the University with a centre that is specifically designed for continuing and developing its world-leading energy research. It should also attract increased attention from industry, academia, funding agencies, researchers and students and stimulate public interest in new developments in sustainable energy.

The new building will comprise specialist laboratories, a prototype hall, an exhibition area, a rooftop laboratory zone, offices and external technology area for use as an energy testing facility.

Best in Class

It will be an exemplar of low-carbon technology through the minimisation of its demands for heating, cooling, lighting and ventilation mediums from non-sustainable sources, whilst maximising energy from renewable and ambient sources.

The sustainable design includes innovative earth duct passive cooling which uses the thermal mass of the surrounding earth to provide passive cooling and preheating of ventilation air.

The development is targeting a BREEAM ‘Outstanding’ accreditation for sustainability

Anderson Green Duties:
Cost certainty
Value engineering
Design / verification & coordination of electrical and mechanical systems
CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) analysis of the super computer room

Synopsis

The project consists of the new super computer room and labs at Oxford University’s Begbroke Science Park.

The super computer facility consists of 56 no. server racks each generating 11kW of heat and a total heat gain of over 600kW.

Best in class

Because of the huge heat gain to a relatively small room and the maximum operating temperatures of the server racks, it was crucial that adequate cooling was received at the face of each rack.

A CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) simulation was preformed to calculate/predict that each rack will achieve adequate cooling.

The simulation highlighted the need for a number of minor amendments to the locations of the grilles, down-flow units and server racks.

Had this simulation not been performed, the cost to make such changes retrospectively would have been a very costly exercise.

Best in class

The Greenest building of its type in Europe, and one of the greenest facilities in the world, G Park became the first development in the world to be awarded the new BREEAM (Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Method) “Outstanding” rating (design stage), the highest sustainable accolade available in property development.

The development employs a host of renewable sources which Anderson Green had to bring together to create the UK’s first truly carbon positive development.

G Park exceeds the UK Government’s Climate Change Bill targets for both 2020 and 2050 in 2009.  This not only delivers significant environmental savings, it also creates total energy and water cost in use savings of up to £300,000 per annum.
