Wash-up meeting - February

As things draw to a close on site, a wash up meeting was held in mid-February to review the project and ensure the crucial handover period went as planned.

The 14 attendees demonstrated the complexity of the project, but also the acknowledgement of all stakeholders that complicated project require high levels of cooperation between all project team members.

The meeting covered all sections of the project, from the initial concept through to ongoing maintenance

requirements and end-user impacts. Of particular focus was the operation of what appears to be a complex heating and hot water system. It was concluded that whilst the design of the system has been intricate, the operation now it has been installed should be robust and simple. Richard Hiblen described the overall system as being a standard cylinder, just with more inputs.

The overall consensus was that the major benefits to the tenant had been achieved through the significant improvements to the building envelope and that in order to benefit from the additional technologies installed, good provision of information to the tenant is crucial.
