Offices at Farringdon station to feature TROX fancoils


development at Farringdon East Crossrail Station over-site development in central London. The prestigious development by Helical plc, known as Kaleidoscope, will be a six storey office building of 88,600 sq ft with a restaurant unit on the ground floor. The floorplates range from 14,000 sq ft to 19,500 sq ft and the building benefits from a communal rooftop terrace of 5,000 sq ft together with 94 cycle spaces, showers and its own loading bay. It is situated immediately east of Smithfield Market with views over Charterhouse Square and towards St Paul’s Cathedral. As well as anticipating a BREEAM “Excellent” rating after a pre-assessment exercise, the prestigious building (designed by PLP Architecture) displays outstanding aesthetic endeavour and has achieved a WiredScore Platinum rating, meaning it is at the forefront of digital connectivity.

ROX UK has been selected by MACE MEP Services to provide PWX fancoils and grilles for the new office


Development of the scheme started in August 2018 and completion is due in December 2019. TROX PWX fancoils were the natural


choice for the Kaleidoscope development, to assist the achievement of ambitious sustainability goals, and to provide optimum flexibility for layout of the office spaces. Launched in 2017, the PWX fancoil was the result of an extensive research and development programme and was put through thorough testing, using TROX’s in- house test chamber (constructed to comply with ASHRAE 79, BS1397 and EUROVENT 6/3), in addition to extensive corroboration of results at an independent test facility. TROX PWX units feature new inlet attenuators, inlet plenums and discharge attenuators capable of achieving outstanding performance across a wide range of applications. SFPs across the range comply with and exceed Part L requirements, with typical values between 0.15 to 0.25 W/(l/s) at

30 Pa ESP. The TROX PWX range is able to speed up


the specification of projects significantly, streamline installation and commissioning, and provide valuable environmental and cost benefits whilst reducing levels of risk. This has resulted in the PWX being selected not only for the Kaleidoscope development at the Farringdon East Crossrail Station, but also for many other notable projects around the UK.

Do you dream of a “Low energy, low cost home?”


T


hen look no further……. Take four pages of free advice on: insulation specification, air


tightness, whole house ventilation with heat recovery, underfloor heating, Thermal mass, solar shading to reduce over-heating. Then add a well-designed Nibe Ground sourced heat pump for space heating and hot water, fill your roof with Q Cells solar PV panels & Tesla Powerwall home battery. What can you expect your results to be in your new all electric house? Here are the results from one of our


recent self-builders: • 285 m2


super insulated house


• Total ALL energy consumption for the last 12 months 8,826kwh


• Solar Generation 12,232kwh/yr • Energy stored and then used later from the Tesla Powerwall battery 2,975kwh/yr


• Electricity bought from the Grid 3,164kwh/yr


• Export 6,168kwh/yr to the grid most of which will be available in future years for electric car charging


• Total energy cost for the year at 16p/kwh £506


• Then there is the Governments RHI heating subsidy which for this house works out at £13,200 over seven years
