Sustainability

Brief: Reduce energy demand without compromising on operator safety


Facility: Large laboratory facility spread over five blocks – originally designed as ICI’s r&d facility

Issue: Old HVAC plant serving a very large number of face and bypass fume cupboards

Brief: Reduce energy demand without compromising on operator safety

Solution:

  • Upgrade supply units with control & filtration upgrades
  • Retrofit VAV to the existing fume cupboards
  • Install pressure controllers to each laboratory
  • Initiate fume cupboard diversity into each laboratory
  • Strip out all the primary extract fans & upgrade secondary fans with VSDs
  • Installation of energy monitoring units to verify savings and act as MM&T capability
