Commercial Air Conditioning Equipment

Due to the size of the building, 20 Panasonic VSR 4-way blow ceiling cassette units were installed across the site. These are efficient units with invert compressors to optimise performance.

An MVHR heat recovery and ventilation system was also installed to improve the quality of the air within the building. This system takes out stale air and brings fresh air in. It works intelligently to make the most of heat within a building. These systems are becomingly more popular for the multi-benefits they offer. They offer effective and efficient heating and cooling, improved air quality and low-carbon, environmental options.

Challenges

Time scales and health and safety

Due to the scale of the job, it went on over 2 months and included delivery to some tight deadlines to work in line with the project schedule and ensure the building was unavailable to staff for the minimum time and with minimum disruption. 

It was also carried out to a full 6-point Personal Protective Equipment process with rigorous health and safety measures at all times.
