Mitsubishi Electric’s City Mul VRF heat recovery system installed in cosmecs retailer Lush’ new oce space in Poole
Ethical cosmetics retailer Lush is now able to deliver energy efficient air conditioning to employees at its new office space in Poole thanks to the installation of Mitsubishi Electric’s City Multi VRF heat recovery system.
Lush expanded its business with a new unit at Dolphin Quays, a complex made up of both residential apartments and office spaces. The units came equipped with running water and electricity, but Lush needed comforts for employees, including air conditioning, to be installed.
The solution came in the form of 12 ceiling- suspended City Multi VRF indoor units and one floor-positioned unit, installed by Modern Facilities Services, a Mitsubishi Electric Accredited Installer. The system is able to move excess heat, generated from an area which is being cooled, to other parts of the building which need heating, helping to deliver the high levels of efficiency that Lush required. The City Multi system also offers outstanding energy saving performance,
advanced control system and flexibility of design for specifiers and installers. The long pipe-runs and ability to connect up to 50 indoor units to one outdoor condenser means that it offers advanced, controllable energy efficient comfort to suit almost any building.
Krystal James, project coordinator at Lush, said “We wanted a system that would create a pleasant working environment for our staff, whilst fitting comfortably into the office environment. We also wanted to make sure we avoided any draughts for our employees.”
Two Lossnay Mechanical Ventilation with Heat Recovery (MVHR) units were also installed at the site in order to remove stale air from the office. The units operate by capturing up to 80% of the temperature of the outgoing air, meaning less energy is needed to bring fresh outdoor air up to the indoor temperature.
There were a number of challenges during the installation which Mitsubishi Electric and Modern Facilities Services were able to overcome, including the need to create additional frameworks for the units to sit on, and working with a large amount of existing pipework at the site.

Luceco luminaires have recently been installed at a mul millionpound water park, The Wave, Desnaon Water and Leisure Project (DWL) in Coventry.
At the centre of this state-of-the-art water park are six slides complemented by light and sound features, a splash pad with water jets, a lazy river, a poolside café, fitness and Mana spa suites and wave pool. Over 200 Platinum Mini Downlighters from Luceco lit spaces including changing areas and WC facilities, locker rooms, corridors and circulation areas. Climate Extra, a robust LED IP65 rated luminaire offering an efficacy of 140 Llm/cW with increased performance for improved energy efficiency, was installed in the plant rooms and also on “wet” staircases including the staircases providing access to the attractions in the water park. Both single and twin fittings were installed, the opal diffuser enhancing the appearance and uniformity.
Celeste was installed on “dry” stairwells, Celeste is an attractive circular LED luminaire from Luceco featuring a ‘corona’ backlight effect with a direct / indirect light distribution. Other luminaires included Academy, installed in store rooms and the communication hub and Luceco’s renowned 600 x 600 square recessed LuxPanel installed in the offices, medical area and staff room, with IP65 rated versions being used in the kitchens.
Front Five Building Services secured the contract for the mechanical and electrical works at DWL with Coventry City Council investing £36.7M. “The Wave” is proving to be a major attraction in the heart of the city centre of Coventry - the perfect legacy to their year as the European City of Sport.

HighEciency Carrier Chillers Chosen
A new mulmillion pound MRI scanner facility at NHS University Hospital of Wales, Cardi, is being cooled by higheciency chillers from Carrier.
Carrier’s heating, ventilating and air conditioning (HVAC) business is a part of Carrier, a leading global provider of innovative HVAC, refrigeration, fire, security and building automation technologies.
Three Carrier AquaSnap® 30 RBP air-cooled liquid chillers have been installed by mechanical and electrical contractor Whitehead Building Services for the project’s main contractor Kier, under the Designed for Life construction procurement and delivery frameworks set by the Welsh National Health Service.
The chillers deliver a combined cooling capacity of 900kW, and provide the stable, reliable cooling required to maintain the high-tech diagnostic equipment in peak condition. Chilled water is supplied to the scanners at 6 degrees Celsius and returned at 12 degrees Celsius, to begin the cooling cycle again.
Equipped with Carrier’s Greenspeed® intelligence, the chillers have variable-speed water pumps and condenser fans to precisely match cooling output to current load conditions. This enables the system to operate with outstanding part-load efficiency, ensuring low carbon emissions and reduced running costs over the life-time of the plant.
Variable speed fans also deliver low noise, an important consideration given the hospital application, plus extended operational life due to reduced wear and tear on compressors, fan motors and other moving mechanical parts.
To safeguard the units from corrosion in the challenging coastal environment, condensing coils are protected by Carrier’s Enviroshield coil coating. This factory-applied flexible epoxy coating completely encapsulates and isolates the aluminium metal of heat exchangers from the surrounding environment.
