Manufacturing Site A has evolved over time into a Jigsaw of process buildings, development buildings, support functions, and office accommodation.
Once a building is up to temperature it may well overheat as the ‘coolth’ normally recovered from an office is being thrown away.In summer, this means chillers will be operating at maximum capacity (often less efficient), and they may not be able to deliver the total cooling required.. To make the problem worse still, it’s recommended that recirculating cooling systems (fan coil units or passive chilled beams) are switched off in rooms that have limited fresh air, to limit the movement of airborne particles.
This would mean no comfort cooling in spaces such as offices in peak summer.And although this will give great energy savings, the wellbeing of occupants will suffer as rooms overheat.. How can we keep offices at a comfortable temperature?.Keeping heat gains down in summer will help reduce the cooling load of the building, and give the cooling systems a fighting chance of keeping us at a comfortable temperature.
Social distancing measures will help reduce internal heat gain, as there will be fewer people using fewer computers in each office.Blinds on the windows can help to reduce heat gain from the sun.
And making sure that the lighting controls are working properly can reduce the lighting load (which also creates heat) during bright days..
Desk fans help to reduce the perceived temperature by around 2. o.Lab projects that are relatively complex, with key issues including compliance (quality, safety, environment, permitting), difficulty in predicting the future (science, technology, sales forecasts), multiple stakeholders, and projects that require significant coordination during design and construction.. To solve this mounting challenge we need a solution that can deploy labs at speed..
