Application requirements
In office spaces user satisfaction and productivity depend on indoor
climate conditions and their control. The role of office work is
changing and requires new thinking in space design. The focus is on the
balance between interaction and autonomy.

The trend is away from the highly structured hive
(production line) and cell (quiet individual units) towards dens (noisy
open space) and clubs (a variety of work settings). These spaces are
supported with centrally shared places – touchdown facilities
- where silent knowledge of the workers is shared. (Source Flexibility
Ltd., UK) As a result, users appreciate good indoor climate conditions
in all of the usage situations. That requires easy flexibility also
from the HVAC systems.

Offices have high cooling requirements, low
humidity loads and moderate ventilation demands. In addition, users
have different personal preferences in terms of thermal conditions.

Optimal solution
Halton office solutions based on chilled beam system offer high user
satisfaction by creating optimal conditions in all seasons and by
enabling conditions to be individually adjustable also in an open-plan
office. Chilled beam features enable overall thermal conditions to be
maintained at desired level by continuously controlling cooling and
heating capacities by Halton control system. Local adjustments are done
by Halton Velocity Control. Optimal air quality is achieved by
adjusting primary air flow rate 1.5 – 6 l/s, m2 with Halton
Air Quality Control.

Halton chilled beams have in-built flexibility for
fast and cost efficient room layout changes. Open plan-office can be
easily changed into meeting room or an office room, or vice versa.
Primary air flow rate adjustment is done by Halton Air Quality Control.
Velocity conditions are adjusted by Halton Velocity Control e.g., in a
case of partition wall being located near the chilled beam. Cooling and
heating capacity of a beam can also be reset without influencing the
operation of other beams by Halton Velocity Control or by combination
valve.

| |
|
The solution is based on
chilled beam system that is very competitive in terms of life cycle
performance. Lower air and water flow rates reduce investment costs
while efficient beams reduce energy consumption. Also easy flexibility
reduces churn costs.

| |
|
Chilled beams combining ventilation, cooling and
heating and, if desired,
other building services suit the interior design of the space. They can
be
installed in a suspended ceiling or exposed and also the outlook of the
units can
be tailored to suit the interior.
