PRESS RELEASE

Research effort on energy efficiency. DeLclima HVAC units installed at 350 Euston Road in London, thanks to research dedicated to the best building refurbishment.

Treviso, January 2015: DeLclima, through its subsidiary Climaveneta, supplied one ERACS2-Q/SL- CA/S 2222 INTEGRA unit and one TECS2/SL-CAE/S 0512 unit to “350 Euston Road”, part of Regent’s Place mixed use development in London.

350 Euston Road is a 924 sq ft grade A office building in London, owned by British Land and managed by Broadgate Estates. This property has already achieved significant energy reduction targets and has been recognised as a best-practice example for energy savings by several independent institutions.

Recent research carried out by British Land, Broadgate Estates and Climaveneta on the building studied the application of DeLclima multi-purpose INTEGRA technology versus and boiler systems and the challenges of fitting this technology into an existing, fully let property. In order to ensure transparency and quality of results, the University of Padua - Department of Industrial Engineering and Studio Planning has been involved, respectively as an independent research institution and as a qualified building services engineering consultancy with great experience in innovative applications. A comprehensive energy model was developed to simulate how the building operates. All actions and prospective results have been designed on the real heating and cooling needs of the building and are measured against a baseline which represents an excellent energy efficient office building in Central London.

The research demonstrated a 34% energy and 38% carbon reduction against the existing system. Prudential calculations for the saving achievable demonstrated a total investment payback time, aligned with the 10 year time DECC is looking at for the application of the golden rule.

The excellent results of the research and DeLclima’s reliability in innovative and efficient HVAC solutions led British Land to plan the building refurbishment with this technology and to install high efficiency DeLclima units at 350 Euston Road.
