BCM is a multi-award winning firm that specialises in ensuring the inner workings (heating, lighting and ventilation) of new builds and refurbishments are as sustainable and low carbon as can be. The mechanical and electrical engineering consultancy was established in 2002 and has achieved huge low carbon successes such as Manchester’s most energy efficient primary school. BCM works with architects and construction firms as part of the design team. BCM’s work often results in highly sustainable buildings being created within the same budget as traditional buildings. On projects where extra capital expenditure is required to achieve low carbon efficiencies, the funding is offset by energy savings within a matter of years, resulting in a cheaper to operate building across its lifetime. Key clients include: Manchester City Council, Willmott Dixon, Kier, ISG, Wates, Housing Associations, EFA and Academy Schools.
