Albany Park
Encon Associates were commissioned by Howard Russel Construction to carry out multiple consultancy services to demonstrate building performance levels against BREEAM standards for Project Albany Park, a development consisting of three warehouse units with associated office accommodation.
The units intended as shell-built warehouses, with the associated office spaces being provided with comfort heating and cooling. Thermal calculations were carried out for compliance with BREEAM UK New Construction Guide 2018 (Non-Domestic) requirements, assessed against both the CIBSE Guide A and the TM52 thermal criteria.
Additionally, the development was assessed against BREEAM requirements with the aim was to achieve three credits under “Health and Wellbeing” (HEA) 05 – Acoustic performance and one credit under “Pollution” (POL) 05 Reduction of noise pollution rating.

In my capacity of a new homes developer ‘Fenwood Estates Limited’ I have been working with Encon for over 10 years now. For every new site Encon have designed a full landscape scheme ticking all of the relevant planning boxes, in previous times they supported Fenwood with the roll out of the Code for Sustainable Homes across our sites and in more recent times with the Ecology and Bio Net Gain elements that we require, they have conducted surveys, reports and calculations to support all of our planning applications. The team are amazing, easy to talk to, quick to react when required and cost effective to say the least. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Encon Associates to anyone in the industry, they certainly give a 5 star service as a minimal!
