M&E Consultants Cambridge
cambridge@kjtait.comOur Cambridge team supports clients across the city, South Cambridgeshire and the wider Arc with mechanical and electrical design, sustainability advice and building performance services. We help laboratories, science and technology campuses, education providers and public bodies deliver reliable engineering outcomes, lower operational energy and compliant planning submissions including Part L, Part O and TM59 or TM52 assessments. If you need experienced building services engineers in Cambridge, we provide practical, commercially grounded MEP guidance from first survey to in‑use verification.

Building Services, Net Zero and Sustainability — Cambridge FAQs
Do you design M&E for laboratories and life‑science facilities in Cambridge
Yes. We deliver MEP design for CL2–CL3 labs, CAT A to CAT B fit‑outs, write‑up spaces and GMP‑adjacent environments. Our scope typically includes ventilation strategy, fume cupboard diversity, lab gases and resilience planning for critical power and cooling. We also coordinate early with estates and safety teams to streamline approvals.
Do you prepare Energy Statements and sustainability inputs for planning in Cambridge
Yes. We produce planning‑ready Energy Statements, overheating assessments and low‑carbon heat appraisals. We set a clear energy hierarchy, justify LZC selections and evidence future‑readiness, keeping the submission lean for a faster determination.
How do you handle Part L, Part O and overheating risk
We model to Part L using DSM or SAP as appropriate, and assess overheating to TM59 for residential or TM52 for non‑domestic. Mitigation is built into the design early, such as shading, glazing specification and night‑time purge strategies, so compliance is achieved without over engineering.
Can you support universities, colleges and research estates around Cambridge
Yes. We work across campus portfolios, from historic buildings to new labs and student accommodation. We provide masterplanning inputs, metering strategies, controls optimisation and post‑occupancy evaluation to reduce operational energy and improve comfort.
Do you offer net‑zero roadmaps and decarbonisation for commercial estates
Yes. We baseline actual consumption, identify fabric and systems measures, and set a phased pathway covering heat electrification, heat pump readiness, heat recovery and controls. Each step includes cost, carbon impact and operational risk to support board approval.
Do you provide BREEAM and Whole Life Carbon support
Yes. We set BREEAM strategies aligned to project goals and manage evidence efficiently. We also deliver Whole Life Carbon assessments and advise on low‑impact materials, refrigerant selection and circular retrofit options.
