IEA demonstrates its capability for delivering a large number of complicated commercial EPCs on time and on Budget. An industrial site near Birmingham with 27 individual units ranging through 100 – 3000 square metres has been successfully completed. One of the main issues encountered while assessing these buildings was the fact that although these were essentially industrial type buildings, some had very complex industries operating within them, including clean rooms and laboratories, which required a higher than usual level of expertise and were visited by our Level 4 assessors. Despite the added complexity the contract was delivered on time and on budget and to the clients full satisfaction.

IEA Ltd recently completed an assessment of a monster site in South Yorkshire for their client Willowbrite Ltd whose own client HSI UK Active Property Fund - Audby are actively seeking a buyer. The site comprised a prestigious 4 storey 31,000 sq ft, rain screened office block with complex air handling services throughout the building and a further 5 industrial buildings ranging from 103,000 sq ft to 6,000 sq ft with varying degrees of complexity.

The total for the whole site amounted to over 300,000 sq ft and was on 5.25 hectares!

When asked to comment on the assessment Tom Whelan said it’s a great site to have won, although it presents a number of challenges. There are both level 3 and level 4 buildings on the site, some having scale plans and others not. With a wide variety of Heating Ventilation and Air Conditioning we need to be careful to ensure we get the best rating for each individual building, as each building is important no matter how big or small it is.
