CNWL Bentley House
Bentley House provides 15,000 sq ft of space over four floors. The Trust wanted to refurbish the property to accommodate outpatient mental health care facilities and administrative support space, and we were appointed to modernise its building services.
Our Role
Our approach was to adapt and retain as many of the existing services as possible. Mechanical and public health work included inspecting all existing split air conditioning units, relocating radiators where needed and extending the domestic hot water and drainage services.
We added a new heat recovery supply and extract ventilation system serving the whole property, and an energy efficient VRF air conditioning system for south facing consultation rooms that overheated in summer. Low surface temperature radiators were specified on the new heating circuit.
The Outcome
The original 1970s domestic hot water calorifier was replaced with an efficient, more cost effective unvented cylinder.
On the electrical side, existing small power systems were extended and modified, with new efficient LED lighting, panic alarms, access control and a whole building fire alarm system, giving the Trust a safe, comfortable outpatient facility.
