Berkeley Group plc uses small, energy efficient Fan Coil Units and Attenuators
To meet stringent noise criteria and maintain discreet shadow gaps at West End Gate, a large luxury residential development.
The challenge
Consultant engineers Buro Happold worked with Berkeley Homes Design & Technical teams to meet stringent noise criteria and maintain discrete shadow gaps providing air distribution for Berkeley Group plc at the large luxury residential development, West End Gate in Paddington, London.
The engineers selected three types of products from Caice:- Fan Coil Units, Attenuators and Whole House Attenuators, because of their improved thermal performance, integral attenuation and unique side access for easier maintenance.

The solution
Noise criteria was met with short integral attenuation which allows us to keep the FCU as narrow as possible, the shallow depth of the FCU allowed other services to be easily installed and accessed, maintaining excellent air distribution, and an ultra-clean aesthetic line without compromising the shadow gaps.
