Brief Project Description: North British Distillers in Addiewell recently undertook a comprehensive Mechanical & Electrical refurbishment project to modernise their facilities. We were entrusted with the task of enhancing the ventilation, heating, cooling, and sanitary facilities to improve comfort and efficiency in the newly formed offices and canteen.

Three Heat Recovery Units were installed as part of the M&E refurbishment. These units are essential for maintaining air quality by providing a continuous supply of fresh air and extracting used air from the offices and canteen. By recovering heat from the extracted air, these units also contribute to energy efficiency, reducing heating and cooling costs.

We installed state-of-the-art comfort heating and cooling systems in the office areas to ensure a pleasant working environment throughout the year. The canteen and toilet areas were also equipped with new heating systems to provide consistent warmth and comfort.

As part of the refurbishment, the toilet facilities were completely overhauled. New toilets, basins, and showers were installed, significantly improving the hygiene and usability of these essential amenities.

Project Challenges: Because of the scale of the installation project, the biggest challenge was handling deliveries of the equipment and installing it without disrupting day to day operations at the site.  Our Mechanical & Electrical team are well versed in working in these kind of environments and on these size of jobs so with proper planning and scheduling of deliveries, our work ran smoothly throughout.

The Heat Recovery Units have significantly improved the air quality in the newly formed offices and canteen. By continuously providing fresh air and efficiently removing used air, these units create a healthier and more comfortable environment for staff.

The new heating and cooling systems ensure that the offices remain comfortable in all seasons, enhancing productivity and employee satisfaction. The upgraded heating in the toilets and canteen areas also ensures that these spaces remain warm and welcoming.

The refurbishment of the toilet facilities has provided modern, clean, and efficient amenities, improving the overall experience for employees and visitors.

The heat recovery units contribute to the energy efficiency of the building by recycling heat from the extracted air, leading to lower energy consumption and reduced operational costs.
