Case Study: Aviva, Perth

Scheme

As part of the major HVAC refurbishment required, the contract for supplying VAV units was awarded to Advanced Air UK Limited for the Aviva office building project in Perth. The scheme aimed to integrate advanced HVAC solutions to ensure optimal comfort and energy efficiency in the new office space.

 

Customers

Protech Heating Limited were the customer and selected Advanced Air UK Limited for the supply of VAV units. Robert Watt, the Project Manager from Protech Heating Limited, commended Advanced Air UK Limited for their exceptional support throughout the project duration.

The testimonial highlighted the excellent assistance provided by Advanced Air UK Limited, ensuring the successful implementation of HVAC solutions for the Aviva office building.

The performance design was provided by Cundall Consulting Limited and through stringent discussions and gaining full understanding of their requirements, Advanced Air UK Limited and Protech Heating Limited were able to provide units that were manufactured exactly to the required specification.

 

Product and Model Types

The supply included different model types, notably the D3001 & D30RW series and D3230 series VAV units. The D3001 series, comprising 984no. units, 696no. featured LTHW (Low Temperature Hot Water) heaters for effective temperature control. Additionally, 41 units of the D3230 series mixing VAV units were provided to enhance air distribution efficiency throughout the building. The supply of the VAV units involved the incorporation of free-issue Siemens DXR1 controls.

 

Solution

During the procurement process, Advanced Air UK were involved in detailed discussions with both Protech Heating and Cundall to ensure that the manufactured VAV units would meet the stringent performance requirements outlined in the MEP specification. This included ensuring LTHW coils could initially operate at 70° Flow and 53° Return and then in conjunction with heat pumps at 60° Flow and 56° Return. This enabled the units to be manufactured and delivered utilising the ‘right first time’ approach that Advanced Air UK strive to provide all customers.

Client Testimonial

The flexibility of handing was a great asset and appreciated by Protech Heating Limited as it allowed the units to be fitted into extremely tight spaces. In addition, the pre-fixing of support lugs on the units made the installation straight forward in ceiling spaces.
