Urban environment

Building is designed to integrate with the overall kings cross masterplan in terms of building use and ground level retail units. External lighting is integrated with the neighbouring buildings.

The building is within 300m of Eurostar, King’s Cross station, London Underground and London bus services.

• Built-up area : 100,00 %

Product

Natural ventilation

Product category : HVAC, électricité / ventilation, cooling

features were inserted in the design wherever possible and with an understanding of the site constraints and acoustic obligations. This was combined with a highly efficient mechanical ventilation system with exhaust air heat recovery.

Turbo core chiller systems

 


Product category : HVAC, électricité / ventilation, cooling

Ultra efficient ‘turbo core’ chiller systems using high-speed axial compressors, with the compressor turbine floating on magnetic bearings to eliminate friction in the main moving part, achieve demanding energy efficiency levels. Cooling systems built into the chillers pre-cool the chilled water from the building at low external ambient temperatures without the use of refrigeration equipment.

Low carbon district heating network

 


Product category : HVAC, électricité / heating, hot water

The building benefits from connection to the King’s Cross low carbon district heating network, including heat from a mixture of CHP, efficient gas boilers and potentially Biomass boiler systems.

Comfort

Calculated thermal comfort : Summer- 24 degrees / Winter- 20 degrees

Acoustic comfort : Offices- NR38

GHG emissions

• Building lifetime : 60,00 year(s)
