Zoning in
Nuaire has had 103 of its MRXBOX Hybrid Cooling Systems installed into the new residential apartments in Berkeley Oval Village in central London.
The one-bedroom apartments at Oval Village are in an area called the Zone, and are available on a shared ownership basis. Compact in size, the MRXBOX Hybrid Cooling Systems are being installed within each apartment’s utility cupboards.
The MRXBOX Hybrid Cooling System significantly lowers the temperature of the fresh-air supply for occupant comfort, and enables compliance with Building Regulations Part O, which addresses overheating mitigation requirements in new build properties.
Whilst passive ventilation solutions, such as opening windows, are prioritised under Approved Document O, there are instances when this is neither desirable, nor practical. Oval Village has these issues to contend with, plus higher temperatures than in other parts of the UK as a result of the urban heat island effect.
The MRXBOX Hybrid Cooling System was selected by the consultant on the Oval Village development following an assessment of the acoustics, air quality and overheating. As well as creating a simple solution to overheating in summer months, the units provide a high standard of indoor air quality all year round via high efficiency MVHR.
