Our Solutions
Renewables
The changes in insulation levels and air tightness in new buildings has dramatically increased the requirement for cooling. With continuing changes to Part L of the Buildings Regulations and the requirements of the energy performance of Building Directive there is a need to utilise renewable energy and reduce the carbon dioxide emissions in modern buildings. velta systems can assist this process in many areas.
- Low carbon emissions
- Utilisation of thermal mass
- Renewable energy
- Recyclable materials
- Low maintenance
Case Studies
The design of a new houseblock led the main contractor Kier London to a pre cast solution.
The flagship B&Q store in New Malden, London benefits from having 9,000m² of the velta classic heating and cooling system in the slab, contributing to renewable energy sources on site.
This project involved the construction of industrial and office units as part of the London Olympics re-location plan. 15,000m² of the velta one industrial heating and cooling system was cast directly into the floor slabs.
Located in the centre of the West Suffolk area the new public service village has been designed to use sustainable methods of energy saving.
To provide a sustainable and energy efficient solution to this new fire service facility brought, velta designed a cast in situ solution to the ground floor concrete slabs with the industrial system.
This new headquarters for the Department of Constitutional Affairs provides 47 courtrooms in a 16 storey building in Manchester. velta's classic screed system was installed to provide both heating and cooling to the 700m2 atrium area which rises to 11 storeys high.
Leeds based architects, Watson Batty, wanted to utilise the new office's full potential so velta was appointed to incorporate the velta metal deck system in to the structural composite construction.
The Barratt Eco Smart Show Village in Chorley, Lancashire, is the first project of its kind in Britain where velta installed the velta siccus system to all seven show homes.
In 2008 at the Advanced Manufacturing Park (AMP) in Rotherham, construction started on a new addition, the Environmental Energy Technology Centre (EETC. velta installed a contec heating and cooling system.
The Balanced Office Building in Aachen saves 94% energy for cooling and 60% energy for lighting through its daylight control. velta offered a solution in the form of the velta contec, which provides comfort, flexibility and effective energy saving.
