Scope of Work
Instalcom are a telecoms electrical and water utility contractor based in Borehamwood, North London. As part of the complete redevelopment of their offices under Accent Office Interiors, Instalcom decided to upgrade their Air Conditioning,Heating and Ventilation (HVAC) to a Mitsubishi Heavy Industries KX VRF Heat Recovery system.
Due to 361 Degrees’ expertise and over 35 years of HVAC experience, Instalcom were able to save money by leaving all the consultation, design, installation and commissioning to us.
Our experience also helped in getting the project off the ground. Through meetings with senior members of Instalcom we were able to show the benefits of a well-designed air conditioning, heating and ventilation (HVAC) system on their staff, their productivity and their bottom line.
Instalcom wanted a HVAC system that could do it all and because 361 Degrees installed a Variable Refrigerant Flow (VRF) System that included a full heat recovery ventilation system, they can heat and cool at the same time.
A VRF system is best when a building faces different directions. A north facing room will need different comfort controls compared to a south facing room. This is due to the amount of sun each room gets during the day. By combining climate control into one system you are able to manage the comfort levels of each individual room independently.
Mitsubishi Heavy Industries describes this as follows:
“Our KXR6 heat recovery systems operate with 3 inter-connecting pipes (commonly referred to as a ‘3-pipe system’), and provide both heating and cooling operations to individual indoor units according to the room condition/requirement. KXR6 incorporates highly sophisticated control to condition multiple indoor areas, for applications where the building orientation creates heat gain/loss on each side of the building.”
