Neil Addison of Trox UK says, ‘By working closely with Land Securities’ design team, we were able to supply precisely what was required on time and to budget. The fan-coil unit controllers were factory fitted and tested to save time on site.’
On Bankside 1, Trox supplied both products. Neil Addison explains. ‘Fan-coil units and diffusers are traditionally supplied separately. Because these products are made by different manufacturers who fail to co-ordinate their design, performance problems can occur — notably with noise.
‘These problems have been addressed by the system engineering approach developed by Trox. Fan-coil units and diffusers are provided from a single source, with guaranteed noise levels, thermal performance and air distribution. Indeed, diffusers and fan-coil units can be supplied prefabricated on a common raft.’
Bankside 1 provides around 43 000 m2 of office and retail space. It is occupied by IPC Magazine Group.
Bankside 2 and 3 include Trox ceiling diffusers. They provide 38 750 m2 of office space and around 3160 m2 of retail space.
