Peak Occupancy Loads
Leisure buildings swing from empty to full and back. We design ventilation and cooling for the peaks without wasting energy at the troughs.
Sports halls, hotels, pools and hospitality. Designing services that cope with high and variable occupancy, handle water-heavy environments, and keep the energy intensity of these buildings under control.

View ProjectA swimming pool has different demands to a hotel, and a sports hall different again. We design across the leisure range, to the specific environment each one creates.
High-occupancy spaces with variable loads and demanding ventilation requirements.
High-humidity environments needing specialist ventilation, heat recovery and corrosion-resistant design.
Guest comfort, hot water demand and back-of-house services across a building that runs around the clock.
Kitchen extract, comfort and the services a busy food environment depends on.
Ventilation and cooling designed for high heat and moisture loads from intensive use.
Variable-occupancy public buildings where comfort and resilience both matter.
Leisure buildings work hard. High occupancy, heavy water use and intense energy demand all land on the engineering.
Leisure buildings swing from empty to full and back. We design ventilation and cooling for the peaks without wasting energy at the troughs.
Pools, showers and kitchens make leisure buildings water-intensive. We design supply, drainage and hot water for genuinely heavy demand.
Pools and gyms are among the most energy-hungry buildings there are. We design heat recovery and efficient systems to keep running costs viable.
Pools and wet areas are corrosive and demanding. We design ventilation and materials that hold up in conditions that destroy ordinary systems.
Robust simplicity earns its keep in leisure buildings, which run hard and rarely close. Operators need systems that keep performing through constant use, and that they can maintain without shutting the doors. The clever option that needs babysitting is the wrong option here.
In practice that means designing ventilation and cooling for genuine peak occupancy, handling the heavy water demand of pools, showers and kitchens, recovering heat wherever the energy intensity justifies it, and specifying systems that survive high-moisture environments.
From feasibility through to commissioning, the directors stay close to the project. We work alongside architects we know, with main contractors we've delivered with before, including Kier and Morgan Sindall.
We are happy to look at briefs early, before the engineering scope is fixed. The sooner we are involved, the more value the design tends to add.
