John Moores University Liverpool- Decarbonisation of the Max Perutz Building

AP Mitchell Group have completed for John Moores University the decarbonization of Max Perutz building including the construction of the plantroom to house the water source heat pumps and the external compound (air source heat pumps) with enclosure. 

This was a full Mechanical, Electrical and BMS Service Installation, with design and project management all completed by AP Mitchell. 

The Project was valued at £600,000. 

AP Mitchell Group successfully delivered a major decarbonisation project for Liverpool John Moores University, focused on the Max Perutz Building. The works included the full design, installation, and commissioning of low-carbon heating solutions to support the university’s sustainability and net zero targets.

The scope of works comprised the construction of a new plantroom to accommodate high-capacity water source heat pumps, alongside the development of an external compound to house air source heat pumps, complete with a secure acoustic enclosure. These installations provide the building with an efficient, renewable heating system, significantly reducing reliance on traditional fossil-fuel-based plant.

AP Mitchell Group acted as principal contractor, undertaking the mechanical, electrical, and BMS (Building Management System) installations, as well as providing comprehensive design, project management, and commissioning services. The project required careful coordination with the university’s estates team to ensure minimal disruption to building operations, while delivering a future-proofed, sustainable energy solution.

The scheme, valued at £600,000, demonstrates AP Mitchell Group’s capability in delivering complex decarbonisation and energy efficiency projects within the higher education sector.
