Keeping the heat down
April 1st 2007 When Welconstruct Customer Solutions was given the contract to turn an old factory into a 9000m2 distribution centre for ChoicesUK, it needed to ensure not only that the centre would work efficiently but that staff picking products on the mezzanine could continue to work when summer temperatures reached in excess of 30°. Having rejected air conditioning as 'prohibitively expensive to install and run' and a ventilation system as inappropriate for the building, ChoicesUK opted for a Breezair system from Seeley International. Simon Wilkins, a project manager at Welconstruct calculated that 23 Breezair coolers installed onto the roof of the warehouse complex would provide sufficient cooling to overcome high summer temperatures. Jay Wiggins, logistics director at ChoicesUK comments "Breezair evaporative cooling system is a first rate system for a number of reasons. "It provides fresh air as well as natural ventilation and in addition to being cost effective, it was quick and easy to install, maintenance is minimal and, importantly, it is also environmentally friendly."
