Name of Project: QUB, New Computer Science, Belfast
Consultant Engineers: Williams & Shaw
Builders: Mc Laughlin & Harvey
Contractor: Blackburn M & E
The Heating Solution: Zehnder Stratos, Zehnder Nova, LSA Cassette Effect Over door Air Curtains, Herz Valves
The objective was to create a high-quality transparent building that establishes a discrete identity for Computer Science, integrating both teaching and research; and to deliver a stimulating environment for staff and students. The new four-storey 3,000m2, building, with a glazed front elevation, is built around and extends the concrete frame of the existing structure. In keeping with the University’s commitment to sustainability, the building has been designed to minimize its impact on the environment and to achieve the target of Building Research Establishment
Environmental Assessment Method (BREEAM) “Excellent” rating.
Versatile’s heating solution for the QUB – New Computer Science Building / Bernard Crossland Building was the
Zehnder Stratos – Floor Mounted
Due to very low sill height, open plan internal space and requiring as much heat output from low level emitters in front of glazing, the floor mounted Zehnder Stratos was the perfect choice.
Zehnder Nova – Vertical and Horizontal
The low water content with efficient fast heat up were in keeping with the university’s environment ethos. Due to restricted internal space the use of vertical novas was ideal.
LSA Cassette Effect Over Door Air Curtain
Requirement for product was neat, tidy, aesthetically pleasing with good output. This product has a high output compared to physical size and has all the qualities required
Herz Valves
Zehnder Stratos
Due to its unobtrusive design and offering exceptionally high outputs, the Zehnder Stratos combines minimum and limited space with the maximum heat advantage.
