AET provides its space-saving solution for Hong Kong project
Published: December 2007
Among the benefits of installing the Advanced Ergonomic Technologies Flexible Space System incorporating Hiross underfloor air conditioning in the Nina Tower in Hong Kong is a considerable reduction in building height. This recently completed complex comprises an 80-storey, 300 m main tower and a 42-storey secondary building. It houses an 800-room 5-star hotel, shopping mall and 29 floors of office space. Glan Blake Thomas, managing director of AET, explains, ‘Over the 29 floors of office space, 11.6 m of height can be saved, or three extra floors accommodated in the same height. The height saving in such proportions offers initial construction-cost saving and reduces solar and thermal gain — and thus energy consumption.’ The installation includes 34 000 m2 of raised access flooring, 136 CAM Zone air-handling units, 1900 fan tiles in the raised floors to deliver conditioned air and state-of-the-art Hirovisar controls and Electropatent underfloor modular power tracks.
