The K Club Case Study

The challenge

An existing 19th century dockside warehouse was the location of choice with the building featuring an exposed truss roof design. The ducted units were to remain exposed while keeping above the bottom truss wherever possible, all with minimal changes to the building fabric. This meant that every detail of this project was on show for Zalando’s team and their clients.

The solution

Crystal Air decided on Panasonic technology due to the energy efficiency and flexibility of the 3-pipe air conditioning system.

A key technical feature was the ability of the ducted units to have sufficient fan power to drive warm air to the floor without being too noisy for an open plan office, and the MF2 range coped brilliantly.

Due to the limited availability of plant space, it was not possible to provide a central AHU externally or internally without losing space or a need for major support steelworks. So fresh air needed to be delivered using Energy Recovery Ventilator units. These could be located in the roof space, so we saved plant area without compromising on building comfort.
