A fresh solution from SE Controls for Birmingham City Council offi ces Birmingham City Council’s award-winning offi ce development at Woodcock Street is using an advanced natural ventilation solution from SE Controls to create a comfortable environment for staff and visitors, while enhancing the building’s sustainability credentials by reducing energy consumption. The £38m, fi ve-storey building provides a fl exible working environment for around 3,000 employees and forms part of the local authority’s plans to rationalise its offi ce portfolio and
generate more than £200m of savings by reducing its occupancy of leased buildings. A key focus of the building’s design was the use of a wide range of sustainable technologies to minimise energy consumption and reduce its carbon footprint. In addition to rainwater harvesting, a ‘brown roof’ wildlife habitat and photovoltaic panels, SE Controls’ natural ventilation solution also played an essential role in helping achieve the energy reduction targets. SE Controls supplied, installed and commissioned the extensive natural ventilation system, which involved 562 TGCO chain- and tandem-type actuators, together with 101 OS2 type 22 controllers to ensure the precise operation of automatically opening windows and vents within the workspace and four atria. ● Visit
