Apex Plaza Commercial Office Complex Case Study


Project Info

PROJECT

This project involved replacing worn out Carrier, air to water VAVDX cooling units, located within a tightly packed plantroom. All the plantrooms located within this large commercial building are situated directly within the core of

the complex and, as a result, we had to design direct replacement cooling units in a ‘flat-pack’ configuration which could be designed, manufactured and tested at our manufacturing base before being totally dismantled, delivered to site, then re-assembled within the plantroom and commissioned ready for years of energy efficient operation.

SOLUTION

Because of Weatherite’s ability to design, manufacture, install, service and maintain high efficiency cooling solutions, we were able to undertake a thorough assessment of what was required in order to deliver exactly the solution the client was seeking – in the most cost effective way.  

In this case, working alongside the Clients Consultant JDP, we designed cooling units that would exactly match the footprint of the existing, inefficient units but delivering the latest state-of-the-art technology which would provide high energy efficient, low carbon emitting, long term operation. 

The newly installed units incorporated high efficiency capacity modulating digital scroll compressors, ec plug fans and the latest Trend IQ3 control system which interacts with the buildings BMS whilst also allowing remote monitoring of the individual cooling units from anywhere in the world.

Because we have over 40 years’ experience we can deliver replacement cooling technology, manufactured to fit exactly within the foot print of the old, worn out equipment, whilst utilising existing services such as ductwork, power, pipework etc, saving thousands of pounds in materials, labour, time and disruption. 

This is an on-going project and we are working closely with Prudential Plc. onfuture replacement programmes.
