Primary Cooling Systems

The refrigeration plant consists of multiple air cooled chillers, with associated pumps, providing N+1 redundancy. Chilled water is circulated to on floor air handling units via two separate risers which are severable into separate circuits. Each riser is sized at nominally 80% of the full load. Variable speed pumps are provided and these pumps sets are connected to different transformers to provide supply redundancy. The chillers and associated plant are sized on an outside air temperature of 28°C, however the chillers meet their design load with an outside air ambient of 32°C. The chillers have a minimum turn down of 170KW and heat recovery is provided from the chillers to pre-heat the fresh air. Chilled water connections are provided at each floor level for connection of tenants plant, these connections are sized to allow a load of 1 w/ft² of lettable area.

12.3

Air Conditioning Systems

Floor-by-floor, variable air volume packaged air handling units are provided. Each unit is equipped with replaceable type filters, cooling coil, fan section, coated galvanised steel drip pan, trapped condensate drain, access floors, controls etc. Unit(s) on each floor are controlled in unison and are noise rated to achieve NR38 in adjacent space.

Typical floor office space supply systems are provided with conditioned supply air ducts capped at each floor-by-floor plant room wall for extension as part of the Category A Works.

Pre-conditioned, outside air is supplied from separate central 100% outside air, variable air volume, air handling units.

Systems

Electrical Service

An 11KV service is provided for the building with power originating from two different “London Electricity (LE)” sub-stations. A total power supply of 172.16 w/m² (16 w/ft²) is provided of which 129.12 w/m² (12 w/ft²) is available for Tenant loads. Dual rated cast resin transformers transform the 11KV power to the building distribution voltage, 400V, and arranged in a double ended configuration, to provide 100% back up capabilities in the event of a primary circuit or transformer failure. High voltage switchgear and sub-stations are separated into two physically remote electrical rooms. Transfer of load is by manual LV bus section switches.

Distribution

Low voltage, metal clad, switchgear with air circuit breakers distributes power to the building loads. A multiple rising bus bar installation delivers power to the office floors, with separate risers for mechanical equipment loads and tenants’ lighting and small power. Lighting and small power tenant risers deliver 86.08 w/m² (8 w/ft²). Duplicate lighting and small power risers are each sized at 100% of the tenants load. Tenant on floor loads transfer between risers via automatic transfer switches located on each floor.

Lighting and Small Power

Two electrical risers/rooms per floor include riser bus connections, provision for submetering, and distribution panels capable of delivering 86.08 w/m² (8 w/ft²).

Generator

In addition to the dual supplies a tertiary level of redundancy is provided by emergency generators.

Three generators each at 1650 KVA provide back up for all business operations including cooling. N+1 redundancy is provided. Paralleling and synchronisation controls are included along with twenty four hours of fuel storage.

Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) and Distribution

A static uninterruptible power supply (UPS) system is provided with a capacity of 1200 KVA. The system consists of 3 modules each at 600 KVA (N+1) and includes paralleling and synchronisation controls, static switches, maintenance bypass facilities and fifteen minutes of battery autonomy

UPS power is distributed to the Data/Communications Centre and to each office level. Full processor loads are supported for the Data/Communications Centre with a further 1 w/ft² available throughout the building. Dual risers distribute UPS power from each UPS system, each sized at full load, with no break static switches provided on each level.

Emergency Lighting

Emergency lighting is provided in all common areas and means of escape routes, served by invertor packs to statutory requirements.

14.3

Special Systems

Telephone Communications

Main service frame rooms with dedicated entrances for each of British Telecom, Worldcom International, COLT, MFN (dark fibre network) and Cable & Wireless Communications are provided. Provision for secondary service entrances is also provided, remote from the primary entrances, for each of the telecommunication service providers.

Two risers through the building are provided to distribute network services.

Earthing

A complete earthing system to statutory requirements is provided.

Fire Alarm, Life Safety and Firemans’ Remote Fan Control System

A fully addressable, computer based, fire alarm system (FAS) with integrated public address system is provided to statutory requirements. The system is configured for phased evacuation and controls all life safety ventilation functions directly. A fire command centre houses central equipment and provides remote control facilities. Provisions are made to allow the base building system to be easily extended by the Tenant.

An evacuation control system consisting of cameras and two way communication points in the staircases is linked to the security room.

Lightning Protection

A lightning protection system is provided to statutory requirements.

Security System

An integrated security system is provided and includes closed circuit television (CCTV) surveillance of public areas, full function access control at selected entrances and lifts, and central monitoring equipment within a security room in the basement.

15.

TENANTS RISERS AND ROOF SPACE

Where risers are provided in the core for Tenant’s use, each Tenant will be able to use their pro rata share.

Where roof space is provided for Tenant’s plant, each Tenant will be able to use their pro-rata share. Service routes to risers from the Tenant’s plant will need to be co-ordinated with the existing structure and services. It will be incumbent on the Tenant to co-ordinate the design of their systems.
