We recognise the importance of innovation in our industry and we are working hard to counter
the growing industry trend toward a compliance culture – to be safe and nothing more.
Our Engineering>Futures group is one example of what we are doing in this area. The group has
been created to inspire and drive a culture of innovation in our organisation. To remain at the
cutting-edge in engineering design, we must not be afraid to challenge the status quo and inspire
our people to think – is there a better way to do this?
The drivers for change on us and our industry have never been greater – we cannot be
complacent about past performance – we must embrace creative innovation to allow us to rise to
meet these challenges and continue to successfully evolve.
We hope you enjoy reading about some of the projects we have been working on and the
innovative solutions they have inspired.

PROJECT FACTS
The design of the hospital was a collaborative effort using Revit – a
software application that supports a BIM workflow from concept to
construction – between Hoare Lea, the architect and the structural
engineer. This tool enabled us to carry out duct and pipe design
calculations, design drainage, produce equipment schedules, examine
clash detections and produce drawings.
PROJECT:
ALDER HEY IN THE PARK

Our brief for this project included strict targets for the use of
energy, carbon, on-site renewables and on-site electricity
generation.

However, if we increase the capacity of the generator, we would
increase the primary energy consumption and inevitably impact
on the carbon target, so the sizing of systems was carefully
optimised.

One of the major challenges in the development was
ensuring we could achieve all of these targets in parallel.
For example, the combined heat and power (CHP) had to
efficiently generate electricity to meet the on-site electricity
generation target whilst providing a source of recoverable heat.

Following one of the NHS’s biggest ever public consultations,
the integrated project team worked hard to create an
innovative hospital design inspired by children. Particularly
challenging for our engineers was how to provide the right
energy mix to meet all of the Trust’s stringent sustainability
targets in four key areas: energy, carbon, on-site renewables and
on-site electricity generation. Expertise for this inspiring project
was drafted from across the firm, with MEP design teams from
Birmingham, Manchester and the Isle of Man, and lighting and
vertical transportation design from our specialists.

Our MEP and building physics team worked
closely with the architect to optimise the
performance of the intricate façade system. The
passive solar design strategy reduces the energy
required to heat the building.
OVERVIEW:
This visually striking contemporary building in the
historic Radcliffe Observatory Quarter presented many
interesting design challenges, including how to achieve
the vision of a fully glazed circular building with as much
natural ventilation as possible. Our solution involves
a double skin façade with mixed mode ventilation, an
intelligent control system and intuitive user interfaces.
Working with Herzog & de Meuron architects, the
MEP design was led by our Oxford office with support
from our acoustics, lighting, daylighting, sustainability and
building physics teams.

The MEP solution needed to integrate with the high
quality finish demanded by the architect and also
to enable their vision for full height glazing, whilst
meeting the client’s ambitious brief in regard to
the environmental sustainability of the project.
Overheating is mitigated by special glazing
coatings and a system of external solar control
blinds, which automatically deploy on a zone by
zone basis, when the solar gain into a particular
area of façade exceeds a set threshold.
The building management system integrates
the lighting, blinds, natural ventilation controls
and mechanical ventilation and heating controls
in order to share sensor and operational
information. This includes the internal room
environment, outdoor temperatures and wind
speeds, solar intensity and room occupancy.
The system uses the various sensor inputs to
automatically select the most energy efficient
mode of operation for each room.

MAKING A BUILDING WORK
FINDING NEW WAYS TO KEEP COOL
TO GET THE MOST OUT OF A NEW BUILDING, IT IS IMPORTANT
THAT THE PEOPLE USING IT UNDERSTAND HOW TO OPERATE
THE SERVICES EFFECTIVELY.
Our bespoke interactive, online
user guides help to make the
complex operation of a building
easier to understand and manage.
Generally upon completion, buildings
are handed over with a non-technical
Building User Guide – this is a
document that provides details of
the various services available and
information on their operation. It also
includes things like access routes, fire
alarm information, etc.
These documents are typically not
very engaging and are often not
properly utilised. This can result in a
building not working as effectively and
efficiently as it has been designed to.
With this in mind, we have created
an intuitive, interactive online Building
User Guide for the Blavatnik School of
Government.
© Redshift
The online guide includes videos and
an interactive model of the building.
This will help to ensure the client gets
the most out of all the innovative
features the building encompasses.

A new generation of low-cost wireless sensors have been installed in our London
office to monitor temperature and humidity.
We are investigating the potential of low-cost,
low-power sensor networks and the relative
ease of presenting complex information in a
variety of accessible formats.
The project sensors were developed by
Purr Metrix – a small technology company.
They are wireless and can measure both
temperature and humidity. The sensors
provide a sample every 15 seconds and have
a reading range between - 25 to +85°C with
a resolution of 0.12°C and they have a battery
life of more than two years.
By using these in the office, we can produce
visual heat-maps of the changing environment
throughout the day.
These sensors potentially offer new costeffective ways to monitor performance,
improve our knowledge and understanding
and in turn help us to design better buildings
for our clients.

Our relationship with this key client has moved across
the Atlantic as they rapidly expand from Boston, their
first US store which opened in late 2015.
As Primark continues to grow
internationally, the design of the
stores has constantly evolved.
During our long relationship
with Primark, the scope of
their retail concept has changed
dramatically – not only in the size of
store but also in terms of the look and
feel. This has required our engineers to
work closely with Primark and the store
development team to continuously find
IN
new ways to drive down energy costs
and improve the standard design.
We have been at the forefront of this
process and the ability to innovate has
proved invaluable to allow us to adapt
the standard engineering design to suit
Primark’s expansion into new countries.

studios (high cooling, power and data requirements) and a
specialist model workshop (dedicated ventilation and high

Each of these environments required a unique engineering
solution. The fact that this was all integrated into the
striking and complex Stirling Prize nominated architecture
made it even more impressive.
Amongst the adaption measures we proposed as
a result of this study were green roofs, these will
reduce water run-off rates and lower the risk of

The roof area of the development had the potential for panoramic views across the city and the
client was keen that this space was not impacted by intrusive roof plant. In response, we developed an
innovative solution to generate the retail tenant energy demands from a centralised energy loop system,
thereby removing localised retail plant from the roofscape.
This meant that energy production could be moved to a central, less valuable location, creating extensive
valuable roof space for retail usage.
The centralised plant for the energy loop primarily comprises dry air coolers and air sourced heat pumps.
The scheme is also driving to implement the installation
a new organic photovoltaic as part of the rooftop glazing.
In addition to our design consultancy services, we are also coordinating the approach to sustainable
development. To ensure delivery of the sustainable objectives, we are managing a Sustainability

SHINING A LIGHT ON THE PAST
HOARE LEA’S CGI TEAM CREATE A STUNNING VISUAL RECREATION
OF THE ORIGINAL BANK OF ENGLAND
The original Bank of England was designed and constructed between 1788 and 1833 by
Sir John Soane. Throughout his lifetime he pioneered techniques to include and maximise
daylight in his architecture.
Sadly, most of the original building was destroyed
in the 1920s and today only historical drawings,
sketches and a few very rare photographs exist of
what the original space looked like.
This stunning CGI recreation of the Bank of England was made using
contemporary sketches and drawings (see below) as reference material
The Hoare Lea team made use of all the
available reference material to design an
interactive virtual reality (VR) depiction of the
Consols Office in the building. This enables
you to completely immerse yourself into
the environment and lets you control the
geographically accurate sun-path to experience
how it changed the impression of the space
through the course of the day.
This then switches to a VR LightSIM in the
evening where the team imagined how a
contemporary lighting scheme might look if the
Consols Office still existed today.
22
INDUSTRY LEADING
The simulation was created for a competition
supported by numerous commercial sponsors
including Robert A.M. Stern Architects of
New York and the Sir John Soane’s Museum
Foundation of London.
The Hoare Lea entry (using in-house know-how)
saw off competition from entrants including
several internationally renowned specialist CGI
