Notice Title

Replacement Water Chillers (Sainsbury's Centre for Visual Arts)

Notice Description

The project was to replace two chillers with modern equivalents, utilising the same plant space and connections to the existing distribution systems. To meet the requirement of the Government Insurance Scheme (GIS), which allows the loan of artwork between institutions, it has its own stand-alone environmental control system, which provides enhanced levels of control in comparison to the main building. This system relies upon two Carrier water chillers to provide cooling and dehumidification, located in a dedicated plant room in the Crescent Wing.
