Concept design review for building optimisation
Sector: Pharmaceutical
Client: Global pharmaceutical manufacturer
Location: South East Asia
Client was planning to build a new manufacturing facility in Asia and requested a complete review of the concept design with evaluated options to optimise energy performance of the facility.
The client requested a review of the concept design for the planned factory in South East Asia. The client provided drawings and documentation of the design intentions. EECO2 has provided this report, focused in detail on the HVAC system, but also addressed related engineering and utility services for the facility.
Review of existing scheme to provide a recommendation for a more sustainable approach to building services including HVAC systems:
Client received an independent review of the current concept design with evaluation of the impact of various technologies/strategies on the operational cost of the facility now and into the future.
Integration of best practice design and operation, demonstrated a 60% energy reduction, relative to the standard design, achievable by enhancements to design and build quality.
Energy reduction of 74% achievable through risk-based approach to air change rates and incorporating high efficiency air handling plant, refrigeration plant and renewable heating technologies.
60% Design optimisation
74% Design + HVAC optimisation
This comprehensive assessment on the options and impact of technologies and operational strategies enabled the client’s design team to understand and quantify the impact of decisions made during detailed design.
