A rendered model of the gas boiler plant room in the basement .
With the basement extraction system , in reality , you won ' t need it operational all of the time as the area would not have continuous traffic in and out the whole day . ACS designed the system to incorporate the CO and NO 2 sensors to monitor the air quality so if there is a high CO / NO 2 level in the basement , then the jet fans switch on and the main fans increase their speed , otherwise they are in an idle mode , thus saving energy .

UNIQUE ELEMENTS The particular unique elements to note were working on a project of this magnitude and the incorporation of all professional services with one company – smoke extraction , ventilation , air conditioning , natural gas , wet services and fire elements .
The complexity of such a ventilation system was also unique to this project . The handling of foul odours was also somewhat a unique aspect by using the ozone treatment and an ecology unit . RACA
