Green Building Design successfully delivered a major electrical and mechanical building services project at Oxford Ionics (Unit 6A) in Kidlington, Oxfordshire. The project supported a Category B fit-out on the first and second floors and included the creation of a new energy-efficient laboratory, office, and breakout areas.
The project involved the installation of a new laboratory supply-and-extract air handling unit and chiller cooling externally in a roof compound, plus other works associated with equipment, electrical power, and controls.
Key Features
- Installation of new, energy-efficient chillers along with a chilled pump station and pipework distribution system dedicated to the special laboratory equipment.
- Installation of a new, energy-efficient air handling unit along with a ductwork distribution system for the laboratory special equipment.
- Installation of a new up flow Computer Room Air Conditioning (CRAC) cooling unit in the laboratory area.
- Installation of a new medical gas cylinder manifold pipework distribution system.
- Installation of a new office ventilation system, with a focus on reusing existing assets where feasible.
- Installation of new, energy-efficient VRF air conditioning fan coil units throughout the facility.
- Installation, commissioning, and testing of new laboratory equipment, including detection and alarm systems to ensure compliance and safety.
The Oxford Ionics project is the latest in several successful laboratory-centred fit-out programmes completed by Green Building Design on high-profile innovation sites, including 316 Cambridge Science Park.
It demonstrates our continuing commitments to energy-efficient outcomes, having achieved an EPC rating B that exceeds regulatory requirements.
