This presentation will share learning and key themes from the development of a medium term estate strategy at a multi-sited mixed- aged campus in the centre of Birmingham. Three speakers will come together - the client (BMET), project manager (PMc) and MEP specialist advisor (MStep) to share how we developed approach which considered fabric, mechanical components, energy systems to deliver a 10 year route map for decarbonising the estate. Critically we will share an approach which combined this work with a full condition study of the entire estate as well as updated space utilisation and space planning work to ensure that all three elements were brought together into a single over-arching strategy.

We will share our lifecycle costing approach and how - to our surprise - some of the smaller investment items have the shortest payback period. We will draw out lessons learnt, common themes and ongoing challenges for discussion and debate.
