Queen Elizabeth’s School for Boys

We designed a large air conditioning and ventilation project for an education block at Queen Elizabeth’s School for Boys in Barnet, while also carrying out client-side duties for Synergy Property Consultants and the school.

Our Role

Our design for contractor AC Preou uses high efficiency Variable Refrigerant Volume (VRV) condensing units to provide both heating and cooling to classrooms, science laboratories and technical rooms, together with heat recovery supply and extract ventilation units for each classroom in the block.

In parallel, acting for Synergy Property Consultants and the school, we provided site monitoring, checked design schemes, carried out site inspections, witnessed commissioning and reviewed operating and maintenance manuals and as-installed drawings.

The Outcome

The project delivers efficient heating, cooling and fresh air to a large teaching block, improving comfort in classrooms and laboratories.

Our dual role gave the school and its property advisers independent assurance that the installation met the design intent and was properly commissioned and documented.
