England, UK -- (SBWIRE) -- 05/18/2015 -- There has been much attention recently directed towards the new 'eco pod' coffee bar at Wrekin Retail Park, near Telford. It was designed in a collaboration between the property experts Hammerson, who own the Retail Park, and Costa Coffee, to create an energy-saving refreshment centre. The methods to facilitate the energy-saving are highly interesting, including a heat pump coupled to underfloor heating, as well as innovations regarding the ventilation system.
The system of ventilation being used has been created bespoke for the design, it ultimately shows how responsible and efficient a ventilation solution can be -as helps the building fulfill its objective of zero carbon retail whilst maintain client requirements of comfort and consistently high quality internal conditions. That the ventilation system maintains this appears to accentuate its value.
The building is composed of large glass panels in many places,which ultimately require management regarding seasonal heat losses and gains, as well as the temperature issues of frequently open doors and increasing visitor numbers. Yet in opting for a ventilation system solution, this has allowed the refreshment centre to retain an environmentally friendly status. This involves displacement ventilation in the summer and combined ventilation in the winter, acting in unity with other eco-components in the structure to allow for a synchronised environment.
