The iconic 1970’s Tricorn House building’ situated on the Hagley Road in Birmingham, dominates the local skyline and features a highly unusual floor plate. Plenum air conditioning was originally specified in 2004 for the 8th floor as an option that would bring cooling to the inner areas of each deep space floor area; whilst maximising headroom in the building with a restrictive 2.8m slab to underside slab height. The ceiling void was reduced from 600mm to 80mm resulting in a net saving of 450mm. Each floor was subsequently refurbished as tenant leases expired. UFAC equipment has proved to be ideal for this application, easily accommodating new fit out requirements as new tenants secured office space. In 2014, the 5th, 7th Floor and the 9th Floor were completed in addition to fit out supply for the 9th and 10th floors. The specification included the latest slimline fan terminal units incorporating EC Fan technology which are easily accommodated within the shallow 175mm floor void. In 2016, the remaining two floors (3rd and 4th) are about to be commissioned. All ten office floors are now air conditioned using underfloor equipment. The latest specification added an additional downflow unit to the specification on previous floors accommodating increased cooling load requirements through higher density and occupant demand; again demonstrating the suitability of such systems to multi-tenanted speculative office developments. www.flexiblespace.com 56 CST Renewables - the building services engineers - were keen to get to grips with installing a new system.
