Project description
Building WY dating from the 1960s has been completely renovated. Corresponding with its original use, it houses physical and electronic activities as well as offices. The education centre is located on the ground floor. The building has a new central entrance including a lift group.
Special details
Point of departure in the renovation was to realise an as modular as possible setup, with standard basic provisions for a number of fixed operation materials. Furthermore, an energy-efficient installation concept was applied, using:
- Low-energy high-efficiency boilers and a heat pump
- Cold generation plants using Cold Heat Storage and a heat pump
- Liberal cooling and cooling by means of cooling ceilings and cooling induction units
All the air conditioning plants have frequency-regulated ventilators.
The transformers that provide the required power have been set up in the technical unit on the roof because most of the major energy consumers are located there. Electric power is further supplied through central energy rail ducts in shafts (vertical) and corridors (horizontal). The office and laboratory lighting is switched on by presence detectors. The motion detectors are linked to the building management system (LON-system) allowing for further integration between the electro technical and mechanical installations.
The building has a sprinkler installation combined with a fire and smoke detection installation.
The transport installation was replaced by a new central lift group with 5 lifts while the goods lift has been upgraded to an emergency-lift. A new gable maintenance installation has also been installed.
Involvement Deerns
