PRODUCTS & SERVICES Product of the month AET Flexible Space underfloor air conditioning helps restore historic building The system means the upper office floors can benefit from natural light very shallow existing 170mm floor void. The used room air is returned back to the CAM unit at high level where it is re-conditioned. The slimline fantiles were installed in the new metal tiled floor fitted throughout Pennybank Chambers office space. There is considerable flexibility in where these fan terminals can be placed, allowing for easy reconfiguration depending on the particular needs or layout of an office. Fantile units are modular in design and, therefore, offer huge CAT-B savings when reconfiguring the workspace compared with ceiling-based systems. The modular and flexible design also minimises waste and energy consumption. For maximum flexibility, each fan terminal is supplied with onboard Fatronic controllers that allow for personal, end-user fan speed and temperature set point adjustment. Meeting rooms and cellular spaces can be managed via AETs Flextouch wall-mounted controllers allowing end-users to adjust the fan speed and temperature, and also monitor and control CO2 and humidity levels. conditioned air into the space via the fantiles, which are recessed into the raised-access floor.

The system means that the new upper office floors can benefit from the fantastic natural light from full height ceilings and the buildings original windows, which are curved around the building. The system provided by AET makes use of the void beneath the existing raisedaccess floor to create the air ventilation path, eliminating the need for high level, ceilingbased services and the associated duct and pipework. This enables floor-ceiling heights to be maximised, and also works extremely well in older buildings, like Pennybank Chambers, where a lowered ceiling would partially obscure the original windows and reduce natural light levels. The floor supply high-level return conditioned air module (CAM-V) units used at Pennybank Chambers distribute ASHRAE humidity guidelines for reopening schools and universities The ASHRAE Epidemic Task Force has published guidance on the operation of HVAC systems in schools and universities, to mitigate the airborne transmission of SARS-CoV-2 in preparation for the new academic year. The ASHRAE recommended winter classroom design condition specifies 40-50% RH through proactive humidification. Dave Marshall-George, UK sales manager at Condair, said: It is very reassuring to see guidance including a recommendation for 40% RH as a minimum level of indoor humidity.
