Author(s) : HUTCHINS G., PENNELL N.

Summary

The paper aims to demonstrate the advantages of Multi-Service Chilled Beams (MSCB) when used on large fast track refurbishment projects. Empress State is a 415000 sq ft office development for Land Securities which has been comprehensively refurbished to provide state of the art business accommodation for future Landflex customers. An integrated MSCB providing cooling, ventilation, lighting, fire alarms and sprinkler distribution was specifically developed for the general office areas of the building. The final product was the result of a collaborative effort involving the client, design team and key contractors and suppliers working closely with the beam manufacturers.
