with visual impairments or physical limitations, instead off ering easy-to-see menus. It has been updated with some signifi cant features to support and prioritise accessibility and ease of use for all types of users, particularly those with Cerebral Palsy, Parkinson’s disease and the partially sighted.
Air Conditioning Project WINNER Tingley Garden Centre by BR-Eng and EBA Climate HIGHLY COMMENDED ArcelorMittal Orbit by Carrier Commercial HVAC T
The Tingley Garden Centre project won this award for its holistic approach to sustainability and innovative engineering.
By integrating multiple environmental solutions into a cohesive design, the project successfully delivers a scalable, zero-carbon model, setting a benchmark for future developments in sustainable infrastructure. It highlighted forward-thinking design, using
natural resources to minimise environmental impact. Rainwater harvesting supports irrigation, sanitation, and cleaning, while solar PV provides power for critical systems including
ventilation, HVAC, lighting, and EV charging. The project also incorporates heat recovery and heat pumps to optimise temperature control, demonstrating a comprehensive strategy that balances effi ciency with sustainability. The judges praised the ambitious scope and
practical execution of the project. Despite the installation challenges, they noted that the project exemplifi es a well-executed, sustainable solution with long-term environmental benefi ts. The system supports natural ventilation but addresses seasonal challenges through Daikin
VRV heat pumps. Rainwater harvesting, LED lighting, and PV-powered fans contribute to self-suffi ciency in power and water. The design optimizes solar panel placement while ensuring neat integration of exposed building services. The HVAC system, supported by Daikin’s intelligent control, enhances comfort and reduces energy consumption.
