Heating and ventilation - office fitout

When designing heating and ventilation for your new office fitout, it is now a building control requirement to ensure that there is enough “fresh” outdoor air supplied for every individual occupant in the new office environment. This requirement is covered by Part F-Ventilation (approved document F) of schedule 1 of the building regulations. The purpose of these regulations is to ensure that the air needs of all people, including those with disabilities, are met to a measurable standard.

 

When planning a new office fitout, striking the balance between cost, staff comfort and the legislative requirement is a highly skilled task which we at Whitespace have many years of experience in and have successfully completed many office fitout projects since the new regulations were implemented in 2006.

Hand in hand with the fresh air requirements the heating and cooling of office space is a primary consideration in producing an environment that is both productive and cost effective. An office fitout consisting of a modern heating system, takes advantage of inverter and refrigerant technology which gives the client greater control over temperature and humidity without costing the earth (or damaging the environment). In some cases such is the capability of these systems that they can recover the heat from rooms which require cooling e.g. server and communications rooms and re-use that heat elsewhere within the building where staff may feel the need for heating. This heat recovery technique maximises energy efficiency and maintains a high degree of comfort to the building occupants.
