Beatrice Tate BSF School

The Project

The local authority required a BREEAM Assessment “Excellent” rating of 70% for the Beatrice Tate School in London. This was to comply with the planning consent for the relocation of the existing Beatrice Tate School.

The Solution

Encon Associates were commissioned to complete a BREEAM Education assessment and to provide BREEAM AP (Accredited Professional) services, in order to mitigate the planning conditions and to achieve such a BREEAM high rating of Excellent. Encon Associates provided the BREEAM AP services from the early RIBA stages, in order to establish what was required to meet the high rating and to ensure the target could be achieved. By chairing several additional BREEAM AP meetings, Encon Associates were able to guide the design team to eventually exceed the 70% requirement and achieve an “Excellent” rating of 80.47%.

I had a problem with retrospective planning regarding insulation calculations with our local Building Regulations Officer. Encon were one of the only companies that offered me a sensible solution to quantify that my internal renovation met the required compliance guidelines.
Top company that I would recommend again.
