What was our client looking for?

Our client, The Workman Group, are a national property management

company with responsibility for 101 Victoria Street in Bristol. The seven story

building is split into four wings and is fully occupied by a range of tenants

including HM Revenue and Customs.

MITIE were called in because tenants had been experiencing warm and

humid office conditions. The existing air conditioning induction units were not

providing sufficient cooling and could not control the ambient temperature

because of additional occupancy and the numerous PCs now in the

building which were not factored in during the original 1970s office design.

How did we help?

The works took nine months and involved replacing the existing air

conditioning units and air handling plant with new DX VRV air conditioning

systems and an inverter driven air handling plant. The challenging

installation included two new roof plant areas which consisted of a new

roof covering and steel work platforms for the external plant. To minimise

disruption to tenants the majority of the work was completed outside

normal working hours and all areas were cleaned down and cleared of

materials and tools after every working shift.

The full strength of MITIE was utilised to complete the project with the

roofing, mechanical, electrical, and environmental work completed by our

own specialist teams.

The results

The client and their tenants have benefited from the replacement of the

inefficient and ineffective existing plant with a new system which has the

efficiency and flexibility required for a multi tenanted building.

At the end of the project the energy performance of the building was assessed

and the new system had reduced the energy grading from G to D,

leaving our client with reduced energy bills and happier tenants.
