Warstock Road Net Zero Industrial Units
At Warstock Road in Birmingham, Brookbanks provided MEP consultancy for a new development of warehouse and industrial units designed to operate at net zero carbon for the Category A base build.
Our Role
To achieve net zero carbon in operation, photovoltaic panels were introduced across all roof areas of every unit, with battery storage provided for Unit 3. Unit 3 also received enhanced power supplies, with an HV connection procured for the development, and careful coordination with the DNO ensured the arrangements met the needs of the site and National Grid.
The internal office fit out for Unit 3 was designed to a high standard, with VRV heating and cooling, high efficiency LED lighting and heat recovery ventilation. Our scope also covered Part L and BREEAM compliance and renewable technologies.
The Outcome
All car parking spaces were provided with active EV charging, and a site wide security system with CCTV and access control was installed.
The client retained our MEP team for tender support and a quality monitoring and technical advisory role through construction and handover, helping deliver a set of low carbon, future ready industrial units.
