•Solar Panels
Provides heated stored water to
boost and increase efficiency of
boilers for space heating and hot
water supplies. – Free hot water
•Passive Ventilation
Atrium glazing with automatic opening
panels which constantly regulate the
heat build up within the building and
so reducing cooling costs.
•Sun Tubes
Provides natural light to rooms
without external windows.
Provides natural daylight and
therefore reduces running costs.
•Grey Water System
Collection of roof rainwater into
underground storage tanks which is
then filtered and pumped back into the
building for the flushing of toilets and
also watering external areas.
•Solar powered ventilation fans
Provides solar powered ventilation
to internal rooms with no running
costs.
•Sustainable Drainage
Surface water is filtered back into the
ground through the use of soakaways
to reduce the amount of drainage put
back into the Local Authority drainage
system.

9. Westminster School Building, London - £3m
GNA Surveyors were appointed as project and cost
managers for the conversion of a dilapidated building
into a new music department for a public school within
the centre of Westminster, London.
The building required substantial renovation including
new mechanical and electrical installations, a new roof
and re-levelled floors and ceilings.
The challenges of a landlocked site with limited space
were overcome when the basement was extended to
provide additional space. The ground and upper floors
were converted into performance areas and lecture
rooms.
The acoustic performance of the building was critical
and sound insulation; reverberation measures and sound
attenuation were all installed.
In addition two apartments were created at the 2nd floor
level.
