The services include low pressure hot water (LPHW) heating, internal mains cold water and boosted cold water, domestic hot water, and gas distribution.<\/p>\n

The company will also install a Building Management System, direct expansion (DX) air conditioning for the Comms Room, and all above-ground drainage.<\/p>\n
In addition, a rainwater harvesting system, sanitary ware, and fire safety dry risers, sprinklers and alarms are within the wide-ranging commission.<\/p>\n
J S Wright\u2019s electrical brief will include the design and installation of the building\u2019s mains distribution, including its low-voltage (LV) power distribution to individual flats, and communal power and lighting.<\/p>\n
As part of its role in protecting students and their property, J S Wright will fit access control, CCTV, and data and TV systems, along with lightning protection and a disabled refuge system.<\/p>\n
The sixth-month project is scheduled for completion in December 2019, in time for the 2019\/20 student cohort.<\/p>\n
Marcus Aniol, Managing Director of J S Wright, said: \u201cWe are delighted to be able to use our long experience in the student accommodation sector to help meet escalating demand for energy efficient purpose-built properties nationally.\u201d<\/p>\n
