Hi,
I've been asked to get some advice on a school conversion to B&B and living accommodation.
Basically the building dates back to 1906 and consists of a middle corridor, 4 classrooms to the right, canteen, offices, and toilets to the left.
The plan is for 7 B&B rooms and 3 bedrooms, lounge, kitchen and bathroom for owner.
The B&B rooms are 6m x 5m incorporating ensuite with 4m+ ceilings.
Central heating is a new oil boiler (gas available externally).
Looking at heating options and long term costs.
Keep the oil, convert to gas convert to wet underfloor or rip it out and install electric.
B&B room controls would be individual and separate from accommodation.
Lighting, conventional or LED????
Prices of LED units are expensive but replacing lamps looks to pay back in less than 2 years using my calcs on the back of a smoke packet.
Is LED the way to go, and as it's all new.
Any thoughts or experience welcome.
Websites of companies that can price or design heating and lighting would be most welcome.
Please debate this as much as you want. It looks to be six of one and half dozen of the other so some directions please.
Thanks in advance
