Carbon commitment
Breathing Buildings has supplied ventilation to ECO MEP’s carbon negative headquarters in Ashford, Kent.
Recently purchasing the building, ECO MEP is an M&E contractor which focuses on delivering lean, sustainable solutions to commercial clients. In line with these values, the company’s objective was to ensure its own new offices were a beacon of sustainability and so specified Breathing Buildings’ innovative NVHRe Natural Ventilation with Heat Recycling and Heat Recovery to provide energy efficient ventilation.
ECO MEP was committed to creating a carbon negative operational workplace. The offices are located in a new build industrial unit with the fit-out requiring specification of the most efficient products. NVHRe comprises both natural and mechanical ventilation, as well as heat recovery. Two NVHRe C+ 1100 units were therefore installed in the first-floor open plan office space above the acoustic rafts, as an exposed installation.
The NVHRe C+ 1100 units additionally feature a coil with the ability to provide heating or cooling for year-round comfort and full temperature control. The heating and cooling coils meant air conditioning and radiators were not required for the office, offering a more sustainable solution for the project.
