Spicy upgrade

The Kingspan KoolDuct System has been fitted
by PMP Manufacturing as part of the major refurbishment of the lower ground floor of an office building in Farringdon, providing a Grade-A space which has achieved an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rating of A and a BREEAM rating of Excellent.

The refurbishment of the lower ground floor
of Saffron House was designed by Ben Adams Architects and overseen by Avison Young. The Cat-A specification included replacement of the street level glazing to create a more design-led frontage with open-plan internal spaces featuring exposed beams and services. A new End-of-Trip facility for bikes has also been created, including extensive bike storage and maintenance spaces along with showers and locker rooms.

Sale Group, and consultant The Anslow Partnership, oversaw extensive changes to the building services specification. This included reconfiguring the lower ground floor to operate
as a standalone floor separate to the remainder of the building as well as replacing the existing chiller system with a more efficient modular system. PMP Manufacturing fabricated ductwork from the Kingspan KoolDuct System to connect to the new units, servicing the office spaces.
