Alan Basnett, sales director with Trox, says, ‘Scotland has embraced the chilled beam and multi-service technology, but until now only on owner-occupied developments.
‘Utilising chilled beams on a large speculative projects is a major breakthrough, and we feel this will be a forerunner for other buildings. Our chilled beams increased the partitioning options, thereby creating a totally flexible Grade A office space throughout the building.
Other benefits of active chilled beams for air conditioning include savings in running costs of 25 to 30% and considerable savings in maintenance. Dilapidation liability is also lower, reducing maintenance costs by 25%.
The Waverleygate development covers 20 239 m2 over eight floors. It is designed around a central atrium, with further perimeter atria to maximise light in working areas.
