MEP building services engineering
Chambéry, AURA

In Chambéry, the proximity of a leading research centre for solar energy raises expectations around the integration of renewables: photovoltaics for self-consumption, solar thermal, storage, control. These solutions are only justified if they are sized against real load profiles, an exercise we carry out rather than applying rule-of-thumb ratios. The area's campus and public facilities also involve refurbishments in occupied premises, where the phasing of networks matters as much as their design. We cover HVAC, plumbing and high-current/low-current electrical (power and data).

In Chambéry, the sizing of the HVAC, plumbing and electrical technical packages determines summer comfort, RE2020 compliance and operating cost. Integrated MEP design, coordinated with equipment acoustics and the BMS, avoids costly rework on site.
