Building services update
Restoration of multi-purpose hall
This multi-purpose hall in the Black Forest includes a concert hall with seating
for an audience of 1000. We acted as lead consultants for the modernisation
of all building services, a project of €600k. In addition, we took on
responsibility for sound proofing and for solving a major damp problem.
In summary, the following work was carried out under our direction:
- Connection of services to the building (electricity, water, district heating)
- Electrical services (high and low voltage, lgihting including stage ligthing)
- Telephone system, including internet access
- Heating (a radiant heating system was chosen for the main hall; this achieves
an energy saving of around 10% over mostly convective emitters; the hall
was connected to an existing district heating system with wood boiler)
- Ventilation (the system uses variable-speed fans which are regulated to
control the fresh air volume according to the CO2 content of the air)
- Water (mains water supply and rainwater harvesting)
- Drainage (installation of drainage pipes around circumference of building, with twin
pumps lifting the water to the level of the main drains system)
- Sanitation (toilets, including disabled facilities, and showers in gym)
- PA system
- Sound-proofing of practice rooms
