AET – a significant refurbishment element
AET’s underfloor air conditioning system has allowed the developers, Brookfield Properties, to offer truly adaptable office space fit for 21st century ways of working, thus differentiating their market offering. During the design process
the decision was made to incorporate AET’s underfloor system on both the lower ground and ground floors to ensure consistency of interior design aesthetic as well as mechanical services, taking the total area served to just under 13,000 m2

www.nationalventilation.co.uk/design-service Helping school design reduce carbon emissions
With heating being a school’s primary use of energy, leading independent building services specialist Gilberts is taking steps to help the educational estate optimise its carbon footprint. The move coincides with updates to the required technical standards and performance criteria for schools’ mechanical services, within the Department for Education’s Facilities Output Specification. The updates are encouraging specifiers to consider utilisation of heat pumps as the most efficient way of warming, ventilating and cooling the building. When powered by electricity from a renewable source, with their high COP verses oil, gas or direct electrical options, heat pumps offer the school long-term benefits and lower energy bills. However, it is important to ensure the heat pumps are installed with support building services systems that can work efficiently with them, so the school has a healthy internal environment for the pupils and staff. Gilberts’ MFS hybrid ventilation units do just that. Integrated into the heat pump system, Gilberts’ MFS can utilise the warmth brought into the school from the ground or air to maintain a comfortable internal environment in each individual classroom, year round.

When charity, Small Steps, secured its new home in the heart of Richmond, it required a warm and welcoming interior environment that would support children living with physical disabilities and their families. Providing the perfect
natural canvas, Forbo Flooring Systems’ linoleum brand, Marmoleum, was installed throughout the purpose-built facility. Spread over three floors of a former office building on Worple Way, the 517 m2
site that
Small Steps now calls home, was funded through a generous donation. 01773 744 121
