Services Description
With Greenstar / NABERS commitments the mechnaical services system has a particular emphasys on energy efficiency. The design is based on chilled and heating water systems using passive chilled beam technology. This is a system that Westside is now very familiar with having delivered a number of projects successfully using both passive and active chilled beams. Interfaced with and controlled by a state of the art Building Management System (BMS) there are high efficiency chillers and boilers, a series of heat reclaim systems and outside air dehumidification.
