Cambridge landmark gets makeover with MHIE
Published: December 2009
The refurbishment of a 1960s office block in Cambridge includes energy-efficient climate control using equipment from Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Europe. Lockton House is now served by a combination of VRF and split systems supplied by FM Air and installed by Adcock Refrigeration & Air Conditioning. Low-profile KX6 outdoor units also helped meet the project’s planning constraints. These heat-pump condensers are just 854 mm high and fit into the limited wall mounting space below the building’s window level so they do not obscure views from inside the building, nor are they visible from the ground. The refurbished building provides modern open-plan workspace and cellular offices. It has become the new headquarters of NHS Cambridgeshire. The air-conditioning specification includes three KX6 VRF outdoor units serving nine FDK wall-mounted indoor units in smaller offices. Large, open-plan areas are served by a range of FDE ceiling-suspended indoor units from the KX6 ranges. Inverter-controlled split systems complete the air-conditioning package. They include wall-mounted SRK indoor units in fourth-floor offices. These indoor units incorporate enzyme filters that destroy many fungi, bacteria and viruses, and a deodorising filter.
