Introduction

• Through focused Pioneering Research, our professional

engineers can provide added value to your business

investments, suitable for today's global Urbanisation

Trend.

Together we can offer tailored engineering solutions that

deliver true business value to enhance your investment.

• Question:

– What have been the historical trends ?

– What are the influences on the offices of the future ?

– What are the areas to focus on ?

– How will the office of the future affect your business ?

Engineering solutions that

deliver true business value

Focus on the Future

• With the ever changing technological world, whether we

perceive it or not, we are living in the “Third Industrial

Revolution”

• We have achieved advancements in Technology in the

last 20 years, that took the equivalent 2nd Industrial

Revolution 200 years.

• This means that the old 20th Century engineering design

templates need to be re-written.

• New 21st Century engineering design solutions need to

be developed to suit the new global Urbanisation Trend..

“Third Industrial Revolution”

Focus on the Future

• Unfortunately due to the rapid pace of technology,

universities / industry do not have all of the

engineering answers and solutions to meet the

challenges of this changing world.

• Therefore, we have set up an in-house research

programme and developed new engineering tools

to suit our clients growing requirements.

• Being prepared for society’s future global

urbanisation trends, presents new challenges for

the engineering services engineer.

• Increased office densities and increasing power

demands, needs a new innovative approach to

understand and control the expanding power

demands within industry.

Increased office densities and

increasing power demands

Focusing on the Future

• British Council for Offices (BCO) guidelines for small

power requirements, recommends:

– 1 person per 10m2 =20 W/m2

– 1 person per 8m2 =25 W/m2

What do you apply for:

– 1 person per 5m2 =40 W/m2 ?

– 1 person per 4m2 =50 W/m2 ?

How do you apply equivalent W/m2 figures for air

Conditioning loads which are even greater?

The answer is in detailed continued engineering research.

Buildings

• Is power capacity in office buildings increasing or is it just a perception?

• We can assist in this process, through detailed in-house research and analysis of the power density requirements and power accessory demands for various desk configurations.

• This approach can add value to your business portfolio by providing accurate, professional informed engineering advice, by predicating the power density for your building at Day 1, through our continued professional research programme.

• Providing a new substation is not always the answer!

• We at SWECO believe in offering our clients informed, tailored, expert engineering solutions to suit our clients:

a. Facilities b. Business model c. Time scales d. Financial budgets

Providing a new substation is

not always the answer!

Approach

• If you are thinking of purchasing a building with a greater

population density greater than 1 person per 8m2, we

can provide professional assistance, as a truly

committed business partner with our expert engineering

expertise.

• We can provide detailed maximum demand load

analysis and survey reports within 24 / 48 hours of a site

survey, for your potential new investment.

• We can advise whether the existing power capacity can

support your re-development plans based upon:

– Density of people.

– Building facilities.

– Restaurant / Cafe.

– Air conditioning systems.

– Natural ventilation.

Building with a greater population

density greater than 1 person per

8m2

Solutions

• Through active research and listening to our clients

business requirements, we have developed this

approach to provide added value to our clients

investment:

a. Assessment of power demands through actual load

monitoring of computers, visual display units, USB

Chargers, laptops, I Pads etc.

a. Modelling typical buildings and working out the

absorbed power demands for the air conditioning

loads, based upon population densities and desk

power configurations.

a. Applying various engineering techniques to

maximise power capacities for buildings and

providing simple practical solutions through our in-

house research programme.
