Thorn has supplied the lighng for 2 Stockport Exchange, a new sixstorey oce building that has been constructed next to Stockport’s mainline railway staon.
Thorn’s Beta 2, Katona and Voyager luminaires were chosen for their ability to address the exacting design criteria and ensure a high quality lighting solution with low total cost of ownership for the Grade A office development. The Stockport Exchange development will deliver 375,000 sq. ft. of office space and 28,000 sq. ft. of commercial floor space and is part of an ambitious regeneration programme that is transforming Stockport town centre. 2 Stockport Exchange is the second phase that follows on from 1 Stockport Exchange and provides 61,502 sq. ft. of Grade A office space with a BREAM excellent rating, comprising large open plan offices with floor plates of up to 11,400 sq. ft. Thorn’s design team worked in close collaboration with KNG Building Services and after submission of various samples and on-site
trial mock-ups, were able to devise a scheme that addressed the exacting criteria and achieve the energy efficiency rating of A and LG7 standard for office lighting. Suspended Rectangular Beta 2 LED luminaires illuminate the office spaces, providing low glare (UGR 19<) ensuring comfortable ambient light. Thorn’s slim, square Katona E3D LED luminaires have been installed in the stairwells. The smooth aesthetic design of Katona helps to reduces dust and dirt accumulation, is easy to clean and lowers maintenance requirements. The E3D version provides 3 hours self/addressable test and comes with a Lithium ION Battery with 3 levels of protection.

London’s celebrated Farmiloe Building, often used for film and fashion shoots due to its exemplary Victorian architecture, has been equipped with a state-of-the-art Carrier air conditioning system as part of a major refurbishment and extension. Originally built as a headquarters and warehouse for lead and glass merchant George Farmiloe & Sons, the building includes a spectacular glazed atrium with exposed wrought-iron beams and panelled offices. The project involved back-to-brick renovation of the original 150-year-old building, restoration of the iconic Victorian façade and creation of a new-build modern extension. Comfort cooling for the 60,000-square- foot site uses a combination of high efficiency Carrier Idrofan 42NZE four-pipe fan coil units (FCUs), exposed thermal mass,
and cast in air ducts supplying passively heated and cooled air to each fan coil unit. This combination helped enable the building to achieve a Building Research Environmental Assessment Method (BREEAM) rating of Excellent.
Consultant Skelly & Couch specified the Carrier fan coils for use in the building’s perimeter-based heating and cooling system, with senior engineer Katharine Scott working alongside director Mark Skelly. The modern addition to the Grade II-listed Victorian landmark, also owned by Aberdeen Standard Investments, is set to become the UK headquarters of a global live entertainment company and ticket provider.
www.carrieraircon.co.uk A leap into the future with large scale R32 air condioning
A former tram staon in Bristol has become the first building in the UK to benefit from large scale R32 air condioning.
The Art Deco building in Gloucester Road was originally a main station for electric trams, and is now occupied by one of the largest environmental business networks in the UK – Future Economy Network.
Renamed, the Future Leap Hub, the refurbished ground floor now brings together likeminded companies and acts as a showcase for sustainable businesses. It offers a carbon neutral, co-working space, meeting rooms and an event space for hire, in which weekly, sustainability themed events are hosted.
The F-Gas Regulations are affecting all air conditioning systems and the next step in the Phase Down of refrigerants with high global warming potential (GWP) takes place in January.
“We looked across the market at a whole host of technologies for our heating and cooling and when Mitsubishi Electric’s R32 system was recommended to us by Envira-Mech Services, we quickly realised it was the right product for us,” said Alan Bailey, Director of the Future Economy Group and Future Leap Ltd. “So far, we’ve been incredibly pleased with the end result.” Future Leap is carbon neutral in its operation and has incorporated lots of sustainable technologies and solutions, including a carpet made from disused ghost fishing nets that

have been reclaimed from the bottom of the ocean and turned into carpeting.
Envira-Mech Services is based in Clevedon, North Somerset and predominantly covers the south of England, whilst providing national coverage for specific clients. Offering a full design and installation facility for customers, Terry and his team are able to provide a complete turnkey service. For Future Leap, the team also installed Lossnay mechanical ventilation with heat recovery (MVHR). These deliver highly efficient ventilation to the building as they can recover up to 80% of the energy from outgoing stale air to use on the incoming fresh air.
When Future Leap took over the building, it was a former Maplin electrical goods store, and Envira-Mech Services had to first of all strip out the existing air conditioning before they could install the R32 City Multi and the Lossnay MVHR. The three PURY YNW-A outdoor condensers are installed in a compound in the old Maplin storage yard and these serve 14 PEFY fan coil units throughout the ground floor. Although R32 is mildly-flammable, and room sizes were considered during the design phase, the level of ventilation mean that leak detection wasn’t required.
