King’s Cross is now included in a district cooling system
Metropolitan’s King’s Cross district cooling network in London has been commissioned. The network will serve an area north of Regent’s Canal, providing carbon- efficient cooling to four commercial and three residential buildings, and has been designed to enable later expansion to further buildings and customers. The new district cooling network completes the implementation of tri-generation - the harnessing together of heat, power and cooling – at King’s Cross. Tri-generation achieves significant carbon-emission savings, delivering on the project’s sustainability targets. The new cooling network operates alongside Metropolitan’s district heat network which has been providing heat and power for King’s Cross since 2013. The centralised cooling system at King’s Cross, consisting of the Cooling Pod and pipe network, effectively removes the need to install and manage separate systems for each building, lowering running costs and assisting buildings to achieve higher BREEAM ratings. The location for the Cooling Pod at King’s Cross presented a number of design, engineering and building challenges. It occupies a narrow strip
of land next to the HS1 Channel Tunnel Rail Link (CTRL).
Maximising the limited
space available to accommodate the cooling plant and towers was the first challenge and required an innovative design with a cantilevered first floor. The second challenge was to eliminate any risk of pluming drifting across the rail line and affecting train operation.

Gatwick
Airport signs new deal with Haven
Gatwick Airport has agreed a three-year deal with Haven Power to continue to supply it with 100% renewable electricity. Following a period of rapid growth, Gatwick, which is the UK’s second largest airport and aims to be the most sustainable, was amongst the world’s first to achieve 100% carbon neutrality last year. Its decision to purchase renewable electricity for the last five years from Haven Power was impor- tant in achieving this. Paul Sheffield, Chief Operating Officer at Haven Power, said: “Our partnership with Gatwick clearly
demonstrates that sustain- ability isn’t out of reach for businesses – it is a shining example of what can be achieved.
“The use of renewable energy by UK businesses is increasing as companies become more ambitious in terms of reducing their car- bon footprint, but also because of the potential cost benefits of using renewables and embracing energy-efficiency programmes.
“This is a positive step in the right direction and we hope to see more of the industry follow the lead of Gatwick airport,” Rachel Thompson, Sustainability Manager at Gatwick Airport said.

“Gatwick was among the first airports in the world to go for 100% certified renewable electricity, helping to reduce UK car- bon emissions. That’s credit to our Engineering (Utilities) and Procurement departments, for having the vision to choose renewable electricity.”
Cooling the world’s largest undersea tunnel, the Channel Tunnel - or ‘Chunnel’ - is a serious business. First, there’s the structure’s considerable size, stretching a whopping 31.5 miles (50.45 km) from southern England to northern France. Without round-the-clock cooling, the heat generated by high-speed trains passing through the tunnel under the English Channel would drive indoor temperatures above 35°C. That’s the maximum for running services in optimal condition. But with Trane’s cooling system, powered by Solstice® zd, part of the Honeywell family of Solstice- branded products, the tunnel has completed its first season of cool runnings, Eurotunnel, has just released official data which demonstrates 33% energy savings; the company has saved 4.8 GWh and approximately €500,000 in 2017.

Jose La Loggia, VP & general manager of Trane in Europe, said: “The Series E is part of our EcoWise portfolio of products designed to lower environmental impact with next-generation, low-GWP refrigerants and high- efficiency operation. “This is consistent with our Climate Commitment – to introduce products which reduce greenhouse gas emissions. These chillers have been successfully used across Europe and have helped our customers to achieve operational savings.”
