Original plans for the Fruit nightclub, in the Fruit Market and Humber Street area, centred on a heating-only proposal using gas boilers, but it was decided to install a modular Airstage V-III heat-pump solution. The system provides cooling, heating and ventilation through the air handling unit (AHU), with mixed return and fresh air. Fujitsu equipment was chosen because of its simple integration with the third-party AHU and touchscreen control system, and its ability to use VRF condenser units on an AHU rated down to -5C ambient conditions and 3C air on coil. The AHU ventilation rate is CO2- and temperature-regulated, so with fewer people in the club, fresh air introduction is reduced and the AHU operates more air recirculation. The rooftop Fujitsu Airstage V-III heat pump, twinned with four Fujitsu DX EEV kits for AHU integration, can raise the temperature from -5C in winter to 16C, and provide cooling without pumping large quantities of cold air into the building when fully occupied.

British company AET Flexible Space provided an underfloor air conditioning system that fits into the existing space beneath a raised-access floor. One of the main challenges was to simultaneously preserve key architectural features while providing flexible, modern, premium office space that would suit the requirements of incoming tenants. AETs pioneering UfAC CAM-V system was suited to this complex project because it eliminates the need for ceiling-based services and associated duct and pipework, while maximising floor-to-ceiling heights. The UfAC solution is designed to create minimal draughts and allow for individual control of temperature and fan speeds, creating comfortable and adaptable working environments. The 24 St Jamess Square project has already won the Best Office Architecture London award at the 2019 International Property Awards, and the space is currently being let as Grade A office space by BNP Paribas Real Estate.
