Sustainability Services

Brochure 2018

Our vision is to be widely recognised for

excellence in the formation and

implementation of MEP Design.

We believe in developing personal

connections with all our clients by

understanding their own individual needs and

using our engineering skills and commercial

awareness to deliver genuine benefits.

We continue to ask ourselves how can we

make a difference and endeavour to deliver

buildings in a cost effective and

environmentally sensitive manner. We strive

to create a sustainable future.

Hannan Associates

William E Hannan & Associates was formed in 1983 to

provide Building Services Consultancy.

The company today continues to focus on Building

Services Engineering and Sustainability delivering high

quality projects for both UK and international

developments.

Sustainable Design

Energy reduction, the core of sustainable design, was

inherent in our building design process long before it

reached the political agenda. Our sustainable credentials

are therefore built upon years of experience at the

forefront of low energy, low carbon solutions for a wide

range of sectors.

Our approach is holistic and collaborative, extending

beyond the building services systems to the fabric and

form of buildings and development sites.

Our engineers and technicians possess a unique, intimate

understanding and knowledge of energy use in buildings

and they have been responsible for the design of

numerous BREEAM EXCELLENT schemes.

We draw upon extensive experience of sustainable and

low energy schemes having completed many examples.

We have a full range of modelling and simulation tools at

our disposal to ensure the optimum solution for each

situation and our expertise encompasses the selection

and incorporation of renewable energy sources to offset

energy demand and our projects have included a variety

of renewable technologies.

Our sustainable Design team is led by fully qualified

BREEAM Assessors & Accredited Professionals and CIBSE

Low Carbon Consultants & Low Carbon Energy Assessors.

What is BREEAM?

The Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Method (BREEAM) is the leading and

most widely used environmental assessment method for buildings. It is now recognised for setting the

standard for best practice in sustainable design and has become the recognised method to measure

and to describe a building's environmental performance within the UK.

BREEAM is designed to recognise and reward performance above regulation which delivers

sustainable benefits in environmental, comfort or health sectors. BREEAM awards ‘Credits’ under

environmental groupings as follows:

Management: management policy, commissioning, site management and procurement

Health and Wellbeing: indoor and external issues (noise, light, air, quality etc)

Energy: operational energy and carbon dioxide (CO2)

Transport: transport related CO2 and location related factors

Water: consumption and efficiency

Materials: environmental impacts of materials such as embodied CO2 and responsible sourcing

Waste: construction resource efficiency and operational waste management and minimisation

Pollution: external air and water pollution

Land Use: type of site and building footprint

Ecology: ecological value, conservation and enhancement of the site

The overall score is determined by multiplying the number of credits per sector by an environmental

weighting factor which takes into account the relative importance of each section.

Once the overall score for the building is known this is translated into a rating on a scale of:

Pass - Good - Very Good - Excellent - Outstanding

Our Services

Our BREEAM Assessors have years of experience in the field of sustainability and have devised a suite

of bespoke documents tailored to streamline the assessment process and provide a highly efficient

service. We provide a comprehensive BREEAM assessment service from cradle to grave.

Hannan Associates have a proven track record in undertaking BREEAM assessments for a diverse mix

of building types. We are proficient in the techniques and processes required to design and achieve

BREEAM certification to the highest standards. Our assessments to date encompass every major

sector including industrial, healthcare and education. We have been commissioned at the request of

major contractors and developers. Our contribution towards some of the most high profile buildings

in the country including the headquarters of multi-national corporations has produced a unique set of

skills that we utilise on every assessment.

Our sustainability team is fully qualified under the following schemes:

BREEAM 2018/ 2014/ 2011/ 2008 / 2006 BREEAM Data Centres

BREEAM Offices BREEAM Fire Stations

BREEAM Healthcare BREEAM Retail

BREEAM Education BREEAM Industrial

BREEAM Other Buildings (Bespoke) BREEAM Multi-residential

BREEAM Refurbishment BREEAM AP

By engaging with our Sustainability Consultants during the concept and feasibility stages of a project,

we can identify every aspect of a project that may be influenced by the BREEAM methodology. We

can then ensure that the most efficient, cost effective and sustainably conscious approach pervades

the design.

BREEAM UK Non-Domestic Refurbishment and Fit-Out

The latest in the BREEAM family of sustainability rating schemes has been developed by BRE Global to

assess and improve the sustainability of UK building refurbishment and fit-out projects.

The scheme’s flexibility derives from a new four part modular

approach, giving a range of certification options. Part One

deals with the building fabric and structure, Part Two is

concerned with core services (e.g. centralised M&E plant),

Part Three deals with local services and Part Four with

interior design. Refurbishment and fit-out projects can be

assessed against one or all of the four parts, or any

combination, depending on which are relevant to a particular

project.

BREEAM Accredited Professional

Hannan Associates have qualified and experienced BREEAM Accredited Professionals (BREEAM AP).

The BREEAM AP provides the design team with guidance and support from the early stages of the

design process, through to construction, to ensure that good environmental and sustainability practice

is incorporated into a building in an efficient and cost-effective manner.

Often sustainability is not considered until the technical design and specification stage of a project,

equivalent to RIBA Stage E; by this stage many opportunities for including sustainability measures may

have been missed. The BREEAM AP must be appointed to the design team by RIBA Stage C at the

latest, and as such, these opportunities can be highlighted and acted upon early, thus avoiding

expensive last minute ‘bolt-on’ solutions that are sometimes needed to reach specified BREEAM

targets.

The Home Quality Mark (HQM)

The UK’s new Home Quality Mark (HQM) is an impartial, 5-star rating scheme for new build homes

that has been created to replace the Code for Sustainable Homes system.

Developed by BRE, the UK's leading building

science centre, the Home Quality Mark is

based on years of building standards

experience, and is part of the successful

BREEAM family of quality and sustainability

standards.

It is expected that new homes meeting the

highest HQM criteria will be up to 50% more

energy efficient than existing dwellings in the

UK.

The Co-operative Group Headquarters Manchester

Hannan Associates are proud to have designed the complex MEP services for the new build Co-

operative Group Headquarters in Manchester. Building Services contributed roughly 51% of the total

BREEAM ‘Outstanding’ score which constituted the largest contribution by any discipline.

Hannan Associates Sustainability Team provided BREEAM support and guidance to the M&E design

team throughout the life of the project. This holistic and integrated approach proved vital to the

success of the assessment, enabling Hannan to achieve unprecedented scores

within the buildings services related credits.

Overview of Environmental Features

The building has been designed with a double skinned facade and soaring open atrium which combine

to enable natural heating, cooling and lighting. The vast atrium floods the building’s interior with light

while the facade helps to minimise heating and cooling loads.

In summer louvres at the top of the facade open to allow warm air trapped between its inner and

outer skins to rise up and out of the building. In winter these louvres are closed to form an insulated

blanket around the building.

Supplementary Services

Hannan Associates and partners are able to provide a number of additional services which can be

‘bolted on’ to the BREEAM service to assist in maximising the number of credits achieved:
