Institute of Physics

London, UK

Designed by Architect, Tate Hindle, the new building has a number of energy saving and sustainability features, designed to perform both during construction, and over the building’s lifetime.

Total Area

1,566 sq. m

System
CAM-V Underfloor supply air and high level return air

2018 Refurbishment

The Institute of Physics is a world leading scientific society previously located in Portland Place and recently moved to new headquarters on the corner of Balfe Street and Caledonian Road.

The new accommodation has been purposely designed to provide education and exhibition facilities for the local community, as well as provide office space for the Institute.  Designed by Architect, Tate Hindle, the new building has a number of energy saving and sustainability features, designed to perform both during construction, and over the building’s lifetime.

Underfloor air conditioning was specified by Cundall for the exhibition space, as the primary ventilation system was not deemed to be sufficient to cool the lower ground basement area.  A single CAM-V44 unit is located at the bottom of the large fresh air shaft and a total of 16 TU4-EC Fantiles are recessed into the 800mm floor void, supplying conditioned air into the 367 sq. m. exhibition space.
