HVAC solutions for high-end cosmetic retailer
A popular high-end cosmetic retailer recently opened new stores at two of the UK’s largest shopping centres, Lakeside Retail Park and The Centre at Milton Keynes and the stores are enjoying the customer comfort benefits of Panasonic HVAC systems
P
anasonic worked with experienced HVAC installer, CER Inst, and with John Hazelton, CER managing director to provide the energy-efficient HVAC solution to these stores. The project design featured the use of a range
of Panasonic technology to overcome resistance from the incumbent product provided by another manufacturer. Four ECOi 3-pipe VRF units were incorporated into the design at Lakeside (total capacity of the project was 195kW) and three ECOi 2-pipe VRF systems at the Milton Keynes store (total project capacity of 270kW). Also included were other key technologies such as ERV units, cassette and ducted fan coils combined with the use of off coil temperature control and the company’s nanoe™ X, to help inhibit harmful bacteria and viruses, all seamlessly controlled via AC Smart Cloud centralised control. The high-end retailer has a longstanding relationship with family run firm,
CER Inst, which has in excess of 45 years’ experience within the HVAC sector. The retailer set out to find a 21st century solution for its 24,000ft2 store at Lakeside that not only provided a low carbon solution, energy efficiency, comfortable and healthy environment for its customers and staff alike but was also supplied from a manufacturer with a good reliable reputation for customer

Other features such as off coil temperature control, nanoeTM X technology and AC Smart Cloud sealed the deal.
Another important aspect in the design of the project, is the tranquil air dire jet sock systems, which were fed from the PAW 01 recuperator technology that has added DX coils for temperature control and provides a cost-effective fresh air and extract solution that was internally fitted to the rear wall and avoided a costly route to the roof.
These inflatable sock systems fed off the PAW units to provide a suitable fresh
air supply environment, which was evenly distributed throughout the whole store. This avoided expensive duct installations and was further complemented with the socks dyed to the retailer corporate colours to blend in with the colour scheme of
