Brooklands Park, Bristol – Phase 5

Size

Eight blocks

Client

Crest Nicholson South West

About the project

Brooklands Park, Phase 5 is an eight-block low-rise apartment and housing development ranging from three to four levels, delivering 174 social and private ownership apartments and 38 homes.

The development was designed to blend comfort, sustainability, and efficiency. Among the considerations, the Mechanical, Electrical and Plumbing (MEP) systems play a critical role in ensuring the development’s habitability, functionality, and sustainability.

Understanding the challenges

One primary objective of MEP design for low-rise residential blocks is to create environments that maintain optimal comfort year-round.

The low-rise residential buildings are entirely electrically powered; the buildings at Brooklands Park, Phase 5, will have the inherent capability to become net zero immediately upon occupancy. Residents will need to procure a green energy tariff to achieve this. The development delivers by minimising its carbon footprint and positively enabling residents to contribute to environmental sustainability and reduce their carbon footprint.

As part of our growing residential urban expansion portfolio, this scheme reflects our commitment to delivering sustainable, community-focused developments that meet the evolving needs of modern living.
