Workplace

Every project is an opportunity to counteract the negative effects of climate change through design and assessment measures.

We ensure that building owners, building operators and occupants can effectively and efficiently maintain building systems with quantifiable improvements.

Our process focuses on efficiency as much as the humancentric aspects of the building. Through a collaborative focus on ideation and implementation, we are committed to realizing new and exciting opportunities for our commercial sector clients concerning occupant experience, indoor environmental performance, productivity, and resource conservation.

“Designing efficient building services can improve the comfort and well-being of employees, but it can also reduce energy consumption and costs, as well as improve indoor air quality.”

Ronan Pigott, Principal & Workplace sector lead

Mixed use & Residential

Introba understand the residential and mixed use marketplace, taking a multi-disciplinary approach to projects.

Building services are essential to the operation and functionality of mixed use & residential developments. They are critical for maintaining a comfortable, healthy and safe environment for residents, workers, and visitors. We work with Developers, Local Authorities and Planners in delivering low energy and efficient solutions for tomorrow’s homes and communities.

“ Properly designed building services are the backbone of a successful mixed-use development, providing the necessary systems to ensure the comfort, safety, and functionality of the building’s occupants and uses.”

Rob Harris, Senior Principal & Mixed Use Residential sector lead

Hospitality

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

We believe thoughtful design and ease of operation of the building services are key to success in the hospitality 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.

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.

“ We will work with you to minimise the carbon footprint of your building, whilst enhancing the guest experience through the effective use of building systems.”

David Glossop, Senior Principal & Hospitality sector lead

Education

Simon Ebbatson, Senior Principal & Higher Education sector lead.

Healthcare

Introba understand the importance of patient centred design that embraces technology, wellness and ease of maintenance.

Healthcare facilities, such as hospitals and clinics, have specific requirements for their building service systems due to the nature of their operations.

Building services design is a critical aspect of healthcare design, and it should be carefully planned to ensure that it meets the specific needs of healthcare facilities, such as patient comfort and safety, infection control, and emergency response, while also promoting energy efficiency and sustainability.

“Building services design enables healthcare providers to deliver high-quality care and improve patient outcomes in a safe and comfortable environment.”

Doug Kerr, Regional Development and Strategy Director - UK & Europe Healthcare sector lead.

Science & Technology

Life Sciences facilities are complex, technically sophisticated and mechanically intensive structures to build and to maintain.

The requirement for continuous monitoring and adaptability of different environmental conditions provides opportunity to explore, implement and test new technologies to provide operations agility and better decision making.

We add value by working with our clients to find solutions to common challenges which include;

Construction costs

An outline of the processes to be carried out

The range of volumes of drugs to be produced

A preliminary schedule of manufacturing equipment

Optimum room sizes to suit manufacturing equipment

Air conditioning requirements to satisfy cleanliness conditions
