Quay to big savings
A three-storey office building at Newcastle Quayside is saving 108,000kWh a year thanks to a new integrated reversible heat pump from IV Produkt.
The property owner at Nepia House wanted to make energy savings and decarbonisation measures. The building previously had a 20-year-old air handling unit (AHU) that lacked integrated cooling, had belt-driven fans and reheating coils.
Upon the initial site survey it was apparent that space would be at a premium. With multiple ventilation systems distributing through the plant room, a robust AHU replacement strategy was required. Due to the compact footprint and flexibility offered by the ThermoCooler HP, the new unit could easily be installed and integrated with the existing duct systems. A tailored solution using Envistar Flex was chosen to ensure that minimal modifications were required to existing services when installing and fabricating ductwork connections.
The AHU was also in a CE-marked Easy Access configuration, which means that the unit is adapted to be transported through a standard door opening of 90cm.
The Envistar Flex with ThermoCooler HP will give significant energy savings and improve the indoor climate. Thanks to the cloud service IV Produkt Cloud, the AHU can also easily be monitored remotely.
