Our Australian distributor contributes to environmentally sustainable design by suppling chilled beams to Donovan Hill Architects in Brisbane.
As the first green building in Australia to be entirely air conditioned with a combination of active and passive chilled beams, Donovan Hill Architects is paving the way for environmentally sustainable design.
KRANTZ passive chilled beams have been installed in the main office area, and are fitted into a corrugated ceiling. The passive chilled beams have been styled to blend in with the industrial aesthetic of the space.
KRANTZ active chilled beams have been installed in the meeting area. These chilled beams are equipped with an induction system that boosts the cooling capacity of the beams, to provide high levels of cooling to this high heat load space. The active chilled beams have single side discharge and are installed in a plaster board ceiling.
The HVAC design with chilled beams provides both significant energy savings and draught-free cooling to the space. This not only enhances comfort levels and reduces operating costs, but also increases worker morale and pride in the knowledge that this office is contributing to the sustainability of our planet.
