Jaga has provided their Mini Canal Trench Heater for the Ampersand Building in London. The Ampersand building an architectural landmark situated in the heart of London’s thriving Soho district.

As part of an ambitious redevelopment project to transform the building into a sustainable and sophisticated office complex, specifiers were challenged by a need to ensure the building’s heating system was aesthetically complementary to the modern design, whilst also being compliant with its ‘Very Good’ BREEAM target.

The heating system chosen for the office spaces had to feature exceptional heat output performance in order to effectively warm such large spaces whilst using as little energy as possible. system chosen for the office spaces had to feature exceptional heat output performance in order to effectively warm such large spaces whilst using as little energy as possible.

The powerful trench heating system was installed along the perimeter of each floor, positioned parallel to the building’s large windows in order to combat energy-sapping heat loss through the façades. The versatility of the Mini Canal is such that it can be accommodated into floor trenches just 90mm deep, with lengths ranging from 700mm to 2700mm.
