the apex

Client: West Suffolk Council

Stage: Concept Design

​

The Apex is a 4000m2 award-winning multi-use venue designed to excellent acoustic standards.

​

In 2010 Sasha was the project director responsible for the MEP design. The public building is tempered entirely by open loop reversible water to water heat pump. Ground-source heat pumps are used to provide heating and cooling to the building and is delivered via radiators, underfloor heating and air-handling units. 

​

In 2022 mstep delivered a review and proposed an upgrade of systems to enable The Apex to achieve further substantial reductions towards net zero operational carbon.

​

By replacing existing systems with new more efficient equivalents, a reduction of carbon emissions of the site can be expected up to 30% compared to the current levels.
