West Pier
West Pier Business Campus
DunLaoghaire
Located on Dún Laoghaire’s waterfront, West Pier Business Campus offers modern, energy-efficient office accommodation designed to the highest sustainability standards. RPS Consulting Engineers were appointed to examine the sustainability of the campus, calculate its carbon footprint and identify pathways to lower carbon.
Working with Scott Tallon Walker Architects, RPS Consulting Engineers, and NGS Mechanical, Keane Environmental supplied Diffusion fan coil units throughout the development. These were selected for their exceptionally low specific fan powers (SFPs), contributing to reduced energy consumption and improved indoor comfort.
Each unit was supplied complete with Pettinaroli pre-assembled Pressure Independent Control Valves (PICVs), ensuring precise flow control, simplified installation, and ease of commissioning.
The combination of high performance, reliability, and ease of integration made Diffusion’s fan coils the ideal solution for this high-spec commercial project.
Advantages of the Diffusion Energy Saver FCU
1. Proven Energy Efficiency
-
Low Specific Fan Power (SFP): Diffusion’s EC motor fan coils are designed to deliver excellent airflow performance at low electrical input, reducing energy consumption and running costs.
2. Acoustic Performance
-
Factory-tested Sound Levels: Each unit is performance-tested under controlled conditions to ensure compliance with design noise limits.
3. Quality and Reliability
-
Robust Construction: Diffusion fan coils are designed and built in the UK to Diffusion’s exacting standards. Their rigid frames and quality components ensure long-term durability, even under continuous operation.
4. Intelligent Control Compatibility
-
BMS Integration: Diffusion fan coils are fully compatible with modern Building Management Systems, allowing precise environmental control and monitoring.
-
EC Motor Control: Variable speed EC fans offer smooth modulation for optimal comfort and energy savings.
5. Strong Technical Support
-
Dedicated Engineering Support: Keane Environmental and Diffusion’s in-house design teams can assist you with selection, performance data, and technical submittals.
Benefits of Pettinaroli PICVs
1. Precise Flow Control
-
Pressure Independent Performance: Pettinaroli PICVs maintain a constant flow rate regardless of system pressure fluctuations, ensuring stable and efficient operation of terminal units.
-
Improved Temperature Control: Accurate flow regulation enhances comfort levels and system responsiveness.
2. Easy Installation and Commissioning
-
Factory-mounted Valve Assemblies: Supplied complete with Pettinaroli pre-assembled PICV sets for plug-and-play installation.
-
Simplified Commissioning: Pressure independent control ensures accurate flow without the need for balancing, reducing time and potential for error on-site.
3. Energy Efficiency
-
Optimised System Performance: Constant flow conditions mean pumps can operate at lower speeds, reducing energy use and operational costs..
