Innomech Innovation Centre

When we outgrew our old premises we decided to build our own facility, which reflects our ingenuity and creative skills.

 

So we designed and built the Innovation Centre.

 

The Innovation Centre is a purpose-built 6000 square feet environmentally friendly facility offering offices and workshops in a pleasant rural location just outside of Ely.

 

The award winning building is designed to allow for easy growth.

 

It is efficient and eco-friendly, using traditional building materials with environmentally friendly features that include:

 

• Under floor heating system fed by a ground source heat pump taking heat energy from the surrounding earth
• All-round extra depth double-glazing, with special coating on south facing units
• Special triple glazed and coated front feature windows (south facing) with integral automatically controlled blinds that track the position of the sun
• Solar vacuum tube water heater for the hot tap water
• A rain harvester to collect all rainfall on the building and use it to feed the toilets
• A heat recovered fresh-air ventilation system
• Bio digester and reed bedded pond to process all the waste and add an attractive feature for both staff and visitors, not to mention the local wildlife
• In-house designed building management and control system, with individually controlled temperature zones, ‘persons present’ detection and intruder alert
• Low-energy lighting system with level sensors and auto switch-off when ‘no persons’ present
• Refrigeration grade insulated panels in the factory walls
• Landscaped grounds to encourage natural flora and fauna, with high hedges for screening and meadow grass mown for hay twice a year
