St James’s Market Phase 2
St James’s Market Phase 2 is the “pioneer” related to the Design for Performance initiative and NABERS UK rating.
Watkins Payne Partnership has been part of a development team responsible for enabling works across a 27 acre site at Bumpstead Road, Haverhill, Suffolk to form a number of plots under a contract which started in 2015.
September 2017 saw the completion of the first building on the site, which is a 20,000ft2 warehouse for the end user MKM Building Supplies.
The building is provided with natural ventilation and LTHW heating to the showroom and office areas, plus the toilets which also receive hot water from the same boiler installation.
Lighting is via LED high bay luminaires to the warehouse and recessed modular luminaires to the showroom and offices.
The building achieved a BREEAM rating of Very Good and an EPC rating of A.

‘The Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea has granted planning consent for 115,000 sq ft of new high-quality office space at 63-81 Pelham Street.’
The Practice was responsible for the design and site monitoring of the related mechanical, electrical and public health services installation.
The carbon neutral status was achieved by exemplary as-built air tightness facade solar and thermal performance significantly in excess of the Building Regulations requirements, highly energy efficient M&E systems, LED lighting and photovoltaic panel arrays on the roof of the warehouse.
The refurbishment provides office space, along with the ground floor being granted A1 retail use. High-level exposed services were designed to give an industrial warehouse feel. The offices are heated and cooled by independent variable refrigerant flow (VRF) air source heat pump systems and illuminated by suspended linear LED fittings.
