Toshiba Air Conditioning - Large offices modernized with Toshiba SHRM VRF systems
Heating costs have been cut and the latest
standards in modern air conditioned space have been created by
the installation of four large Toshiba VRF systems at Leat
House, a large 1300 sq m office building in a business park on
the outskirts of Newbury’s industrial area. The systems designed
by Toshiba’s specification team have been installed by
specialist contractors Air Concepts and were supplied by
Toshiba’s wholesaler HRP.
The refurbished space was not previously air conditioned, having
been designed in the late ‘eighties with a perimeter wet heating
system. This inefficient heating solution was removed by Air
Concepts, and a comprehensive environmental control system was
designed to cope with the high solar gain in this substantially
glazed building.
The design uses the Toshiba Super Heat Recovery Modules to make
up four air conditioning systems, with a total capacity of 125
kW, able to supply both heating and cooling on demand, so that
the building is zoned for potential letting to four separate
tenants. With four separate central control systems also
installed each tenant will be able to manage their own energy
budgets and environmental regimes.
A heat recovery air ventilation system has also been installed
by Air Concepts using the ceiling space as a return air plenum
on the ground floor and on the first floor the heat laden air is
ducted to the ventilation system where it is used to temper
incoming air, enabling further energy savings.
