Project description:
SOgent renovated a warehouse where bales of cotton used to be stored on the former site of the Cotton Union or short UCO. The converted warehouse now centralizes the common functions for the companies currently housed on the business park, such as a company restaurant, a career-counselling center, training and meeting rooms.
Boydens Engineering designed the technical concept that consists of a central boiler room in which hot water production is also provided, end elements according to the functions:
- large rooms have underfloor heating and fan heaters
- offices and changing rooms are equipped with radiators
A healthy and comfortable indoor climate is created by the use of a ventilation system D with heat recovery.
