SUSTAINABILITY Services Brochure
Hannan Associates William E Hannan & Associates was formed in 1983 to
provide Building Services Consultancy.
The company today continues to focus on Building
Services Engineering and Sustainability. Hannan
Associates operate from offices in Manchester, London &
Edinburgh and contribute to delivering high quality
projects for both UK and international developments.
Sustainable Design
Hannan Associate’s Sustainability Team includes Low
Carbon Energy Assessors, Code for Sustainable Homes
Assessors and fully qualified BREEAM Assessors. Our
Assessors provide a full and comprehensive service from
concept through to post construction and in use phases.
Our sustainable credentials are built upon years of
experience at the forefront of low energy, low carbon
solutions for a wide range of sectors. Our approach is
holistic and collaborative, extending beyond the building
services systems to the fabric and form of buildings and
development sites. Our engineers and technicians
possess a unique, intimate understanding and knowledge
of energy use in buildings and we have a full range of
modelling and simulation tools at our disposal to ensure
the optimum solution for each situation.
More recently our expertise has encompassed the
selection and incorporation of renewable energy sources
to offset energy demand. Over the last few years our
projects have included a variety of renewable
technologies providing us with valuable knowledge of the
feasibility, construction and operation of developments
with renewable sources.
What is BREEAM?
The Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Method (BREEAM) is the leading and
most widely used environmental assessment method for buildings. It is now recognised for setting the
standard for best practice in sustainable design and has become the recognised method to measure
and to describe a building's environmental performance within the UK.
BREEAM is designed to recognise and reward performance above regulation which delivers
sustainable benefits in environmental, comfort or health sectors. BREEAM awards ‘Credits’ under
environmental groupings as follows:
Management: management policy, commissioning, site management and procurement
Health and Wellbeing: indoor and external issues (noise, light, air, quality etc)
Energy: operational energy and carbon dioxide (CO2)
Transport: transport related CO2 and location related factors
Water: consumption and efficiency
Materials: environmental impacts of materials such as embodied CO2 and responsible sourcing
Waste: construction resource efficiency and operational waste management and minimisation
Pollution: external air and water pollution
Land Use: type of site and building footprint
Ecology: ecological value, conservation and enhancement of the site
The overall score is determined by multiplying the number of credits per sector by an environmental
weighting factor which takes into account the relative importance of each section.
Once the overall score for the building is known this is translated into a rating on a scale of:
Pass ‐ Good ‐ Very Good ‐ Excellent ‐ Outstanding
Our Services
Our BREEAM Assessors have years of experience in the field of sustainability and have devised a suite
of bespoke documents tailored to streamline the assessment process and provide a highly efficient
service. We provide a comprehensive BREEAM assessment service from cradle to grave.
Hannan Associates have a proven track record in undertaking BREEAM assessments for a diverse mix
of building types. We are proficient in the techniques and processes required to design and achieve
BREEAM certification to the highest standards. Our assessments to date encompass every major
sector including industrial, healthcare and education. We have been commissioned at the request of
major contractors and developers. Our contribution towards some of the most high profile buildings
in the country including the headquarters of multi‐national corporations has produced a unique set of
skills that we utilise on every assessment.
Our sustainability team is fully qualified under the following schemes:
BREEAM 2011/ 2008 / 2006 BREEAM Data Centres
BREEAM Offices BREEAM Fire Stations
BREEAM Healthcare BREEAM Retail
BREEAM Education BREEAM Industrial
BREEAM Other Buildings (Bespoke) BREEAM Multi‐residential
BREEAM Refurbishment BREEAM AP
By engaging with our Sustainability Consultants during the concept and feasibility stages of a project,
we can identify every aspect of a project that may be influenced by the BREEAM methodology. We
can then ensure that the most efficient, cost effective and sustainably conscious approach pervades
the design.
BREEAM UK Non‐Domestic Refurbishment and Fit‐Out
The latest in the BREEAM family of sustainability rating schemes has been developed by BRE Global to
assess and improve the sustainability of UK building refurbishment and fit‐out projects.
The scheme’s flexibility derives from a new four part modular
approach, giving a range of certification options. Part One
deals with the building fabric and structure, Part Two is
concerned with core services (e.g. centralised M&E plant),
Part Three deals with local services and Part Four with
interior design. Refurbishment and fit‐out projects can be
assessed against one or all of the four parts, or any
combination, depending on which are relevant to a particular
project.
BREEAM Accredited Professional
Hannan Associates have qualified and experienced BREEAM Accredited Professionals (BREEAM AP).
The BREEAM AP provides the design team with guidance and support from the early stages of the
design process, through to construction, to ensure that good environmental and sustainability practice
is incorporated into a building in an efficient and cost‐effective manner.
Often sustainability is not considered until the technical design and specification stage of a project,
equivalent to RIBA Stage E; by this stage many opportunities for including sustainability measures may
have been missed. The BREEAM AP must be appointed to the design team by RIBA Stage C at the
latest, and as such, these opportunities can be highlighted and acted upon early, thus avoiding
expensive last minute ‘bolt‐on’ solutions that are sometimes needed to reach specified BREEAM
targets.
The Home Quality Mark (HQM)
The UK’s new Home Quality Mark (HQM) is an impartial, 5‐star rating scheme for new build homes
that has been created to replace the Code for Sustainable Homes system.
Developed by BRE, the UK's leading building
science centre, the Home Quality Mark is
based on years of building standards
experience, and is part of the successful
BREEAM family of quality and sustainability
standards.
It is expected that new homes meeting the
highest HQM criteria will be up to 50% more
energy efficient than existing dwellings in the
UK.

The Co‐operative Group Headquarters Manchester
Hannan Associates are proud to have designed the complex MEP services for the new build Co‐
operative Group Headquarters in Manchester. Building Services contributed roughly 51% of the total
BREEAM ‘Outstanding’ score which constituted the largest contribution by any discipline.
Hannan Associates Sustainability Team provided BREEAM support and guidance to the M&E design
team throughout the life of the project. This holistic and integrated approach proved vital to the
success of the assessment, enabling Hannan to achieve unprecedented scores
within the buildings services related credits.
Overview of Environmental Features
The building has been designed with a double skinned facade and soaring open atrium which combine
to enable natural heating, cooling and lighting. The vast atrium floods the building’s interior with light
while the facade helps to minimise heating and cooling loads.
In summer louvres at the top of the facade open to allow warm air trapped between its inner and
outer skins to rise up and out of the building. In winter these louvres are closed to form an insulated
blanket around the building.
BREEAM Outstanding
‘One Angel Square, Co‐operative Group HQ, Manchester
has attained the highest ever BREEAM Offices 2008 score
of 92.25% and has received a coveted BREEAM 2013
Award.’
