High Specification Cat-B Fit-out for 8 Waterloo Place
AET Flexible Space have just completed a Cat-B fit-out of underfloor air conditioning equipment on the second floor of 8 Waterloo Place for the new incoming tenant , a leading wealth management company . The stunning Edwardian building with a grade II listed Portland Stone façade was fully refurbished in 2008 , creating 3,000 sq . m of prime office space in the St James ’ area of London , with the second floor becoming the first space to be occupied .
Heating , Ventilation & Insulation
The system at 8 Waterloo Place is a CAM-C Direct Expansion system with underfloor supply air and underfloor return air , specified by consultant Watkins Payne Partnership after both the client and architect requested no ceiling based services in order to allow the decorative plasterwork and featured cornices to be exposed . The AET Flexible Space CAM-C direct expansion system fits this brief perfectly . The Cat-A works were completed in August 2017 and the building was subsequently shortlisted for the 2017 BREEAM Awards , Refurbishment category .
The CAM-C downflow unit supplies conditioned air into the plenum beneath the raised access floor , which serves as the ventilation zone . This zone is divided into supply and return air paths using airtight relocatable baffle and then the CAM receives spent air back at floor level for re-conditioning , allowing the total elimination of services located in the ceiling . Conditioned air is fed into the space using modular , plug and play TU4 Fantile units with the upgraded EC fan option for additional energy efficiency .
Working with Sale Service and Maintenance on behalf of the fit-out project lead , Overbury , AET supplied additional fan terminals , return
air grilles and underfloor air segregation baffle to accommodate the additional cooling requirements and cater to the new workspace layouts . The client also opted to install sound attenuator boxes beneath the grilles to minimise noise transfer between the open plan workspace , meeting rooms and Director ’ s offices . User control of the underfloor air conditioning system is enhanced by the addition of fourteen wall mounted Flextouch controllers , permitting remote temperature and fan speed adjustment of the Fantiles without having to physically access the integrated controller within the unit .
The fit-out works reached practical completion last month and the final result is fabulous high specification , modern workspace .
