AHU Case Studies

ICC Wales

ICC, Wales

This iconic Welsh landmark required 23 bespoke AHUs to cater for different extremes of footfall – anything up to 5,000 visitors had to be accommodated, whilst optimising energy output for lower volumes.

Cheapside House

Cheapside House, London

Home to many different businesses within one building, the footfall in and out of Cheapside House is extremely high and in the midst of a congested capital city, the demands on ventilation high.

Fans, filters, access panels, heating coil, isolators, internal boxing and doors were required to be upgraded, part by part, allowing for these smaller parts to be delivered to the rooftop via the available means.

Canary Wharf

10 South Colonnade, Canary Wharf, London

As this was a refurbishment of an older building, there were tight spatial restrictions and access routes, which made it challenging to comply with Building Regulations Part L and the ErP (Energy-related Products Directive 2009/125/EC). To overcome this issue, Barkell designed and supplied the compliant AHUs in flat-pack form, and built on site.

Liverpool

Exhibition Centre Liverpool

Aside from the cost savings gained from carrying out much of the work off site; by installing air handling systems with integrated controls, the units now offer improved and efficient performance with increased reliability and control.
