Air conditioning systems from Daikin UK are helping to produce an ideal research and development environment for one of the world’s leading engineering and scientific technology companies.

A range of Daikin equipment has been installed to ensure staff comfort – as well as precise testing conditions – in the newly built two-storey, 15,000m2 Innovation centre building at the Renishaw plc headquarters site near Wotton-under-Edge, Gloucestershire.

Renishaw is a global business with expertise in precision measurement and healthcare. It supplies products and services used in applications as diverse as jet engine and wind turbine manufacture, through to dentistry and brain surgery.

Daikin equipment is the mainstay of climate control across Renishaw’s rural site – and its extensive range is now even more evident in the cooling and heating systems installed in the new building.

Alongside Daikin VRV systems, Building K has Daikin chillers, a 44.7kW Daikin Rooftop unit and Daikin Sky Air split systems.

The systems were designed and installed to Renishaw’s specification by Bristol-based Daikin D1+ installer Total Environmental Kooling.

Trescal are global leaders in their field of high end dimensional calibration and measurement and work in the Aerospace, Automotive, Electronics and Pharmaceutical sectors. They have recently re located to a new facility in Derby which required two new high accuracy calibration rooms.

close control air conditioning designed and installed by TEKThe new measuring rooms were required to meet a certain specification or classification which would suit an environment where sensitive measuring equipment could be used. This would enable the high accuracy work to continue uninterrupted. The specification for temperature and humidity was to be controlled at 20°c+/-1°c with relative humidity no more than 55%.

TEK’s vast experience and numerous ‘Blue Chip’ client base within the close control air conditioning market meant that they were approached to offer the complete solution to the new facility.

Through the years, TEK have formulated a careful and precise design to assist the needs of the client, understanding the importance of selecting the precise room structure and air conditioning plant to suit the specific needs of the facility.

Trescal’s requirements. For this particular project, the rooms were built utilising insulated panels for the walls and the roof. The nature of this ‘sealed’ unit enabled TEK to ensure that…
