The decentralised ventilation system with heat recovery was perfect for providing the building with a healthy indoor climate without the need for channelling work.
Optimum air quality in offices is an investment that pays for itself in no time. After all, sickness absence will fall sharply, and employees will perform much better. That is why Cultuurconnect and FARO (NPO) paid great attention to ventilation when renovating their offices in the 'De Priem' building in Brussels. They opted for a decentralised system with heat recovery from Airmaster, the perfect solution for providing existing buildings with a healthy indoor climate without the need for channelling work.
Cultuurconnect is a non-profit organisation that bridges the gap between local cultural institutions, libraries, authorities, technology players and artistic initiatives. They help cultural organisations to respond to digital challenges and to apply modern technologies. FARO is the Flemish interface centre for cultural heritage. Both organisations are located on Priemstraat in the heart of Brussels. Besides offices, they also have various meeting rooms that they rent out to organisations with social and cultural objectives.
"The decentralised ventilation system with heat recovery was perfect for providing the building with a healthy indoor climate without the need for channelling work".
To provide increased comfort for the staff and visitors, both organisations decided to give the three floors a makeover together. "Cultuurconnect was aiming to achieve better air quality," says Nathalie Duquesne, Area Manager at Airmaster. "FARO primarily wanted better thermal comfort. Because of the many glass panels, the temperature rose very high in the summer months. Both non-profit organisations wanted to implement a D system, but the required channel network threw a spanner in the works. Fortunately, with the decentralised D system, Airmaster offers the perfect solution for such cases."
