National Audit Office HQ -  London

Constructed in 1938 on the east side of Buckingham Palace Road, the National Audit Office HQ is an impressive Art Deco, Grade II listed building - originally the London Terminal for Imperial Airways.

The building underwent a £60m restoration and refurbishment project to provide over 15,000m2 of high grade office space to over 750 NAO employees.

The building services were a mixture of chilled beams, fan coil units, perimeter heating circuits and ventilation plants, together with main plant systems in ten different plant room locations.

For the control element of this Design & Build contract, MITIE chose Total Control. Our works were almost £800k in value and took 65 weeks to complete. We designed, supplied and installed an Alerton BACnet open protocol BMS system.

MITIE and total Control were involved in managing and maintaining the building post handover. To meet the National Audit Office's CRC and energy efficiency objectives at the time, a web-based Optergy aM&T system was added to the BACnet BMS. Through using Optergy, over 100 utility meters were regularly monitored, recorded and analysed by the NOA, supported by our Total Control Energy division.
