CASE STUDY

Havelock House – Great Bridgewater Street, Manchester

Havelock House is a modernised office block located in the heart of Manchester City Centre. Originally constructed in 2001, the building underwent a significant refurbishment in 2023, including a structural strip-back to its frame and the addition of two new floors, creating a total of eight floors of high-specification CAT A office space.

JBC Control Systems Ltd played a pivotal role in delivering a comprehensive BMS (Building Management System) solution, tailored to the project’s sustainability and efficiency goals. Our scope of work included:

  • Cold water storage and boosting systems

  • Landlord and tenant metering

  • Rainwater harvesting integration

  • Solar thermal domestic hot water production paired with air-source heat pumps (ASHP)

  • Ventilation and Variable Air Volume (VAV) control using Siemens OpenAir Damper Actuators

  • CO₂ monitoring for optimized indoor air quality

  • Car park ventilation

To achieve these goals, Siemens Desigo PXC7 Automation Stations were selected for their built-in BACnet and Modbus capabilities, alongside PXM30.E BMS touch panels. As a certified Siemens Integrator, JBC provided a full turnkey solution, encompassing supply, installation, commissioning, and Siemens Desigo CC software for intuitive front-end graphics.

Havelock House is targeting key industry accreditations, including BREEAM Outstanding, EPC Rating A, NABERS 5* Excellent Rating, and WiredScore Platinum Certification—positioning it as a benchmark for sustainability and efficiency in modern office spaces.
