Underfloor heating and cooling for large factory
Warmafloor is designing and installing a bespoke underfloor heating and cooling system for UTPCO’s (Universal Tool & Production Co.) purpose-built factory on the Daedalus business enterprise park at Lee-on-the-Solent in Hampshire. The project also includes a bespoke heating and cooling solution for the office areas.
For the factory, Warmafloor developed and embedded a 20 mm-diameter polybutylene pipe into the structural slab where the embedded coils are located. A safety tolerance allowance has been installed to enable specialist plant machinery to be fixed in position on the tool-room floor without fear of compromising the underfloor circuits.
The factory and offices required very close environmental control, so Warmafloor configured its Total Integrated Controls Strategy Modular control solution to enable heating and cooling harmony, resulting in low energy use.
