AET has recently been specified to provide an underfloor system for the new Sixth Form centre at Sir William Perkins School, Surrey. Founded in 1725 and situated on twelve acres of greenbelt land on the outskirts of Chertsey, Sir William Perkins is an independent day school for up to 600 students between the ages of 11 and 18.
The AET Flexible Space system was specified by consultant; The Brinkfell Partnership, and an underfloor supply, high level return system (CAM-V) was selected for maximum flexibility. A total of two zones within the Sixth Form centre will be cooled by CAM-V33 downflow units, with conditioned air supplied into the space by thirty one (31) TU4-AC standard fan terminal. Users will have personal environmental control of fan speed and temperature by using adjustment features of the Fatronic controller integrated into each fan terminal unit.
With AET Flexible Space systems, fully conditioned air is fed into the plenum by zonal downflow units (CAM), which is then supplied into the workspace via fan terminal units (Fantile). The fantile units feature integrated controllers where users can personally adjust fan speed and temperature to suit their own comfort. Systems can be configured with underfloor or high level return and can easily integrate with passive or other ventilation systems.
