Inspiring Change.

Empowering Changemakers.

Our experience includes designing new build net zero hotels, through to refurbishing 400 year old listed buildings.

We do not take a one size fits all approach.

Building services design is critical for ensuring that a hotel operates efficiently, effectively, and safely. The benefits of a well-designed building services system include:

As experts in the hotel sector, we have experience delivering high end facilities such as basement pools, gyms and restaurants. Examples include Marriott Park Lane, Crown Plaza Kings Cross and a 5-star rooftop pool at the Four Seasons.

All of these facilities come with their own complex design and coordination challenges, which we have proven experience of delivering to the highest standard.

— A comfortable guest experience — Energy efficiency — Improved safety and security — Increased operational efficiency — Compliance with regulations We believe thoughtful design and ease of operation of the building services are key to success in the hotel sector.

We deliver engineering systems that are sensitive to their environment which are both simple and cost-effective to operate, and provide flexibility for the future.

We work within brand standards and have also developed them for new brands and ventures.

Our designs are geared for performance, not compliance. It’s incredibly important for buildings that sell comfort and high-end experiences that we don’t tick compliance boxes thinking this will provide brand expectations.

Building a Positive Impact Collaboration

Practical Innovation

We combine leading-edge technical knowledge with a sensitivity to architecture, heritage and interior design.

We specialise in the design of simple, elegant, cost-effective systems for high performance building environments.

Our engineering is backed up by comprehensive analysis that help prioritise energy saving potential and carbon reduction effect. Driving down energy use reduces operational cost, an approach that can be summarised as ‘practical innovation’.

We’re experienced in the commercial realities with regard to effective use of space, repetition of design efficiencies and the need to balance efficiency with brand value.

Our Clients say that we are pro-active, reliable and responsive, easy to work with, professional, trustworthy and good value for money. This is provided in conjunction with a very personal level of service.

Our experience design world class hotels has confirmed the value of our collaborative approach. By listening to how a client operates their existing buildings, we are able to learn where systems are currently under-performing and how they impact on operational efficiency.

Building systems need to be robust, economic and easily operated by staff, and guests.

Comfort at the heart

Complex Coordination

Design for Performance

Comfort of both staff and guests is a critical success factor. A concierge that is too hot or too cold, subject to draughts, or with inappropriate lighting cannot offer the quality of service that is demanded and could lead to guests not returning.

Working with confined sites is never without its surprises. Aware of these pitfalls we endeavour to identify potential co-ordination issues early in the design process.

We employ the latest dynamic thermal simulation and energy modelling tools to test the performance of HVAC systems designs.

Within this context, a holistic approach to the design of building services is essential. We select systems informed by a genuine understanding of the many physical and psychological factors that affect human comfort.

Three dimensional REVIT models are developed in areas of complex coordination so that we can ‘build before we build’.

This will be particularly important when integrating with an existing services infrastructure.

5

This is especially important in historic buildings where natural ventilation, infiltration, thermal mass and limits on fabric performance have a major impact on HVAC systems performance. Equally in modern buildings controlling overheating and extremes of temperature is key.

Although the form of the building is set we still see that we need to play an important part in the schemes detailed design development in this area.

Kimpton Fitzroy Hotel London, UK

CLIENT Starwood Capital Group ARCHITECT EPR Architects CONSTRUCTION VALUE £85M COMPLETION 2018 SERVICES PROVIDED Mechanical, Electrical, Public Health, Dynamic Modelling

As one of London’s original “Grande Dame” hotels, the Kimpton Fitzroy is steeped in history, boasting 345 rooms and a restaurant identical in design to the dining room on the RMS Titanic.

With deep expertise working with heritage assets, Introba was contracted to reveal and repurpose its listed fabric to accommodate modern building services.

Introba undertook extensive surveys and dynamic modelling to identify opportunities to reuse existing materials and systems, optimise plant space and increase customer comfort and wellbeing. All rooms were fitted with smart, user-triggered, and energy-efficient power, heating and ventilation systems. LED lighting was installed, and secondary glazing fitted to the original windows. Additional insulation was also added, where refurbishment provided an opportunity to improve the thermal efficiency of the building envelope.

These improvements not only safeguarded the hotel’s architectural heritage but also significantly lowered its carbon footprint.

The Kimpton Fitzroy has been restored to its former glory, with modern building services optimising customer comfort and reducing the carbon footprint.

The hotel comprises of a leisure facility with a swimming pool, gym, main kitchen, private dining kitchen, members bar and rooftop bar. It is one of two London Properties in South Kensington & Covent Garden which are being launched for a new brand of all-suite hotels, The Other House.

Naomi Heaton, CEO of the Portfolio Club “The Other House caters to consumers looking for flexibility, style and greater personalisation and who embrace responsibility and slow travel,’’ she explained ‘’Our mission is to create spaces that enhance the overall guest experience and completely reinvent how people stay, providing a renewed sense of space, place, ownership and engagement.”

With four of the existing buildings being grade II listed, and the limited plant space, it has made it difficult to change into hotel suites. However, through conducting workshops with the design team we are rebuilding the lower ground floor slab to remove the existing downstand beams.

In addition, there are significant construction constraints including the matinee performances at the Lyceum theatre which can’t be disturbed, and the surrounding residential area. The hotel is targeting BREEAM Excellent.

Wellington Hotel is the merger of seven existing buildings to form a 180-bed prestigious luxury hotel located near London’s famous Covent Garden. Being the second of the first buildings in London by The Other House, a key priority is ensuring a luxury 5* experience for a 3* cost.

Room2 is pioneering the trend of the Hometel, which is focused on understanding people and their accommodation needs.

The original energy strategy consisted of CHP and gas boilers systems throughout the hotel for heating, cooling and domestic hot water. However, as this project had been on hold for several years, by the time it came back online, our knowledge and research into carbon factors and energy strategies had opened up more options for us to consider.

We did further analysis on the site in collaboration with our specialists in Canada and looked at the viability and benefits of using more sustainable techniques. It was agreed that it would be beneficial to switch to a ground source heat pump system, both for environmental and financial advantages over the long term. After presenting our findings to the client they were happy to proceed with our suggestions.

With the new energy strategy, the client is looking at around 60% reduction in carbon emissions as well as cost savings, over the long term.

“ We are delighted that Introba could suggest this innovative technology to allow room2 to reduce the carbon footprint of our latest property in Chiswick, in line with our strategy to be a leading hotel operator to take our environmental responsibilities seriously” Robert Godwin Managing Director, Lamington Group

Hotel Due Diligence New hotel considerations — Designing your hotel to high-quality passive methodologies where possible, takes you a long way to both future and COVID readiness — Small changes from a room perspective other than optimising efficiencies and the use of power, water and air conditioning — Front and back of house areas need careful thought, including full fresh air systems and high-efficiency heat recovery — Zero carbon ready is now a key metric for more preferential lending

Existing hotels - why now?

— Typically MEP systems equal around 1/3 of the construction project value — Overlooking MEP assets can become a costly oversight - this can be controlled and managed with effective and forensic due diligence from our senior engineers. This will save you time and money in the long run!

— Whilst occupancy is low, use the time wisely to conduct duediligence on re-evaluating current assets. This will kickstart a future plan for post-covid recovery

Due Diligence is essential...

Before procuring a development, our senior engineers determine the state of play of “hidden assets”.

Our asset appraisal will examine how to add value to the future development: — Recommending futureproof designs — Looking past building services - our experience means we can advise on other issues beyond exclusive building services — This can be combined with an intrusive fire safety audit

And most critically For all of our projects, we establish routes to Zero Carbon.

Introba has over a decade of proven experience in Net Zero projects and over 100 projects completed or in design globally.

As founders of the LETI movement, we are well versed in Zero Carbon strategies.
