Student accommodation developments require innovative, resilient, and cost-effective engineering solutions that balance energy efficiency, comfort, and long-term sustainability. At EDC, we provide tailored MEP, BIM, and sustainability-driven designs that meet the evolving needs of universities, private developers, and student housing providers.
At EDC, we specialise in MEP design for sustainable living, creating energy-efficient, comfortable, and future-proof student accommodation. With increasing demands for low-carbon solutions, smart energy management, and enhanced living environments, our expertise ensures that student housing is not only cost-effective to operate but also optimized for long-term performance.
Student accommodation operates 24/7, requiring robust HVAC, electrical, and water systems that perform efficiently while maintaining thermal comfort and indoor air quality. Our low-energy heating, ventilation, and lighting solutions are designed to reduce operational costs, lower carbon footprints, and enhance student well-being. By integrating renewable energy sources such as solar PV, heat recovery systems, and district heating, we ensure that buildings meet NZEB, LEED, and BREEAM standards.
At EDC, we understand that space is a premium in modern developments, particularly in high-density urban projects. Our approach to MEP design and BIM integration ensures that every element is optimised for efficiency, functionality, and cost-effectiveness.
By applying Design for Manufacture and Assembly (DfMA) principles, we streamline modular and prefabricated solutions, reducing on-site labor and accelerating project timelines. This has been particularly effective in basement developments across London, Dublin and Cork where we successfully delivered skids and risers, achieving significant cost and time savings while enhancing installation precision and coordination.
