HVAC
The HVAC systems for the MultiChoice City building,
engineered by C3 Climate Control Consulting
Engineers, have been designed and optimised to
make use of Thermal Energy Storage (TES) systems.
These systems reduce the connected load of the
HVAC systems to approximately half that of standard
chilled water systems while also provides demand side
management strategies such as load shifting thereby
reducing the impact during peak demand hours to the
Electrical supply.
The upgrade to Four-pipe Thermal storage allows
the elimination of electric resistance heating, further
reducing the power consumption required during the
winter months.
