1 Premier Inn, Wembley BREEAM MAN 9 - Case Study

2 2 T he Premier Inn, Wembley project has been designed and built to achieve a Building Research Establishment Assessment Method (BREEAM) of Excellent, with a score of over 70% targeted. As part of this process, the project team pursue various design and management goals set out in the methodology. One of these goals is to publish prescribed information so that access is freely available to interested parties. A case study has been put together by the contractor McAleer and Rushe to comply with The Man 9 credit requirement Publication of Building Information which states that: Where evidence provided demonstrates that the design team are committed to publicising information about the environmental performance of the new development via the internet, newsletters, site visits, presentations etc. 3 The 26.5 million development is located within an ecisting pedestrian boulevard adjacent to Wembley Stadium, in North West London and is part of the Greater Wembley Park Development Masterplan. The prject commenced in August 2016 and was handed over in May The project is split over 2no. phases Phase 1 Enabling Works phased removal of existing boulevard and installation of all Drainage and Utilities. Phase 2 Hotel Construction The Construction of a 312no. bedroom Premier Inn, consisting of a piled substructure and 13 storey RC frame with external façade mostly made up of Alucabond & Gebric Cladding, Curtain Walling and Aluminium Windows More information on the BRE s assessment methodology can be found at the website PROJECT DESCRIPTION PROJECT DESIGN TEAM Architect : Urban Innovations Services Engineers Caldwell Consulting MCR Structural Engineers Fire Consultants Accoustic Consultant MSA Clarke Saunders Project Manager: Stephen Neeson Quantity Surveyor: Michael Laverty COST ( /m2) Total Building Costs M&E Services

3 4 5 THE KEY INNOVATIVE & LOW-IMPACT DESIGN FEATURES OF THE BUILDING A range of lighting control technologies has been applied in the hotel in order to achieve efficiency in running cost and minimize wastage. In the main areas of the hotel dimming and multi-way zoned control principles are applied to afford the user maximum flexibility in economical use of lighting. Movement detectors are used for lighting control where appropriate. Water saving features are also in place to include push taps and low flush urinals. The heating is provided by an energy effient VRF system, with distrct heating infrastructure available for future connection. The Building Management System (BMS) includes flexibility to manage full occupation, lighting management and external monitoring. The building achieved a u-value of 0.15 in the building envelope and an EPC A rating. roof attenuates water and releases the water slowly into the local sewage system, relieving pressure from the system during storm conditions. Low impact, sustainable materials were used where possible with 36-60% GGBS (lower carbon footprint concrete) used within substructure. In relation to biodiversity, a blue roof for sustainable design was installed. The blue CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT TECHNIQUES TO REDUCE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS PREDICTED ENERGY CONSUMPTION Predicted Electricity Consumption Predicted Fossil Fuel Consumption kwh/m kwh/m2 Predicted Water Use m3/ m2/24 hours Metered Temporary Services Segregation of Site Waste with over 99% of site waste diverted from landfill. All timber used on the project came from sustainable sources and had Chain of Custody certificates. Constant monitoring of site noise (sound insulated tools and silenced plant. Site dust was minimised by using wet cutting techniques, damping down in dry conditions and placing covers on all skips Consideration was taken during the design process to minimise waste from the construction process by selecting suitable products and sizes to achieve minimal off cuts (plasterboard) etc Labour, plant and materials will use local suppliers were available Monthly Monitoring of site carbon footprint and target setting to reduce it. Key materials responsibly sourced from suppliers with ISO or BES 6001 certification. Off cuts of timber donated to a timber recycling charity. Rainwater captured and recycled during the construction process.

4 6 7 Social or Economically Sustainable Measures Achieved The site was registered with the Considerate Constructor Scheme and achieved an innovative score of 45 points when assessed by an independant monitor. A newsletter was produced each month to keep residents and businesses updated on progress. There was also a site specific blog available on the company website. Noise restrictions were in place to minimise disruption to surrounding neighbours. The site team proactively arranged site visits for local Construction students, participated in Community volunteering days and held DIY workshops for members of the public. Throughout the project local labour and materials were utilised wherever possible.
