“Where Work and Quality of Life Live Side by Side”

Forbury Place is a development of three Category A office buildings all constructed to achieve the BREEAM 2011 rating of “Excellent” for offices. The buildings’ specifications included the design of energy efficient Low and Zero Carbon technologies.

Building 1 and 3 are now fully complete with building 2 due for completion during 2017. Sarum Electronics was asked to provide Sarum Controls for building 2 that would ensure the air conditioning and heating in the building’s kitchen and lecture theatre delivered the same high level of energy efficiency achieved across the entire development.

The Forbury Place kitchen has two Sarum Controls heating and ventilation controllers to manage the systems controlling:

  • 3 phase supply fan with inverter speed control and inlet damper;
  • Gas solenoid interlocked with the fan;
  • 54 kW thyristor controlled heater;
  • Two filters;
  • Mitsubishi heat pump;
  • Client supplied Trend controller to control all plant.
