Energy-intensive building

BNP Paribas Real Estate presents 6 Pancras Square next to Saint Pancras station. The building was designed by Jean-Michel Wilmotte and will be developed by BNP Paribas Real Estate Property Development UK.The project comprises of offices and ground floor retail of 37,000 sqm on Argents 743,200 sqm redevelopment of the site. The scheme will benefit from its close proximity to the major transport hub of King’s Cross and Saint Pancras, providing easy access to six tube lines, national railways and the Eurostar.
The property will be developed to the highest environmental standards (BREEAM Excellent) and specification.
The development includes:

350,000 sq ft of offices
10,000 sq ft of retail
a 3,800 sq ft staff fitness centre
27 parking spaces

Product

Product category : Génie climatique, électricité / Ventilation, rafraîchissement

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.

Product category : Génie climatique, électricité / Ventilation, rafraîchissement

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.

Product category : Génie climatique, électricité / Chauffage, eau chaude

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.

Biodiversity approach

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.
