EMPRICS | King's Cross
One partner,
for all buildings.
EMPRICS is the name and the method: Electrical, Mechanical, Plumbing, Renewables, Infrastructure, Controls, and Sustainability. Seven disciplines, one accountable partner, starting at 1 Granary Square.
Seven systems. One building. Explore them all.
This model is inspired by your home at 1 Granary Square: Lewis Cubitt's Granary Building, the covered street running north between the transit sheds, and the fountain field on Granary Square. Select a discipline to see how EMPRICS thinks about the building. Drag to orbit, scroll to zoom.
The whole picture: every EMPRICS discipline working together across one building, from the square to the rooftops.
Every letter earns its place.
Seven disciplines, surveyed and delivered together. Each one improves the building on its own. Combined, they transform how an estate performs, and what it costs to run.
Electrical
Lighting design and supply for every space, power distribution, small power, and emergency lighting to BS 5266. UGR<19 for teaching, CRI 90+ where colour is the curriculum.
Mechanical
Ventilation, heating, and cooling coordinated with lighting and controls: plant refurbishment, air handling, heat recovery, and quiet, efficient comfort in studios and theatres.
Plumbing
Water services, risers, storage, and efficient fixtures, with sensor-based monitoring for leaks and usage across the building.
Renewables
Solar PV across unused roof space, heat pump integration, and battery-ready infrastructure, engineered around the building's real load profile.
Infrastructure
Containment, risers, and a data-ready backbone installed once with capacity for decades: every future system rides on the same spine.
Controls
DALI-2 and BACnet standards, occupancy and daylight sensing, IoT gateways, and interactive dashboards showing what every space is doing in real time.
Sustainability
The discipline that measures the other six: energy monitoring, carbon reporting, green roof and biodiversity opportunities, WEEE-compliant disposal, and whole-life cost thinking on every specification decision.
Every space, inside and out.
We specify across every product type, so specification is led by the space, never by a catalogue. From the 350-seat theatre to the plant room nobody photographs.
Model this building's lighting savings, live.
Indicative model for the lighting discipline alone: legacy fluorescent fitting at 72W against an EMPRICS LED equivalent at 26W, 260 operating days per year, UK grid factor 0.207 kgCO2e per kWh. Mechanical, renewables, and controls add further savings on top. Every figure is verified by building survey before we commit to it.
Delivered across London's most demanding buildings.
