Rowan House Buxton, a £1m M&E Upgrade

EP Consulting provided comprehensive mechanical and electrical (M&E) design for the £1m Rowan House project in Buxton, Norwich. This new reception building serves as the control centre for security systems at an 88-bed mental health facility developed for Care Principles.

Scope of Work

Our team handled all aspects of M&E design during this 26-week project, including feasibility studies and budget costing. We focused on integrating renewable energy solutions and ensuring compliance with HBN 03-01, HTMs and CIBSE guidelines. We produced a thermal model for the building to ensure optimal energy efficiency, created a BRUKL report and ensured compliance with Part L2 Building Regulations.

Challenges and Solutions

Designing the control centre required advanced security and energy systems to meet stringent regulations and operational needs. We addressed these challenges with innovative M&E solutions, ensuring the facility’s security and operational efficiency.

Results and Impact

Rowan House now features a state-of-the-art control centre, enhancing the security and functionality of the mental health facility. EP Consulting’s expert M&E design has created a secure, energy-efficient environment that supports the critical operations of Care Principles.
