Challenges

Located in the heart of Chelsea Harbour, this high rise ultra high end penthouse presented unique challenges. Using our expertise and wide ranging skillset, Intech Controls succesfully delivered the project on time, on budget and at the high level of quality that has become expected of us.

The project required control and integration of the entire M&E infastructure, including VRF AC, Electric & Wet Underfloor Heating Systems, and the embedded Crestron AV system.

With a demanding client and a scrupulous architect, this system had to be highly effective yet invisible. Space was tight and with no storage on site huge collaboration efforts between contractors was necessary in order to deliver materials and equipment to the 35th Floor of the building in a timely manner.

“This was a difficult project, both technically and logistically, but I am proud of the team and the product we have delivered. I truly believe this is one of the best Residential Control Systems we have ever installed”.

A seamless, integrated control system providing an easy user experience.

Solutions

Intech Controls delivered this project making use of the latest Trend IQ4E range of controllers, distributed BACnet I/O and a beautiful 21” touchscreen running Trend IQVision with bespoke graphics providing the GUI for the occupants.

Although the system is monitored remotely, the occupants do not have the technical knowledge to operate a detailed BMS and therefore a unique touchscreen GUI was developed in house, providing simple, easy to use graphical interfaces with all of the equipment connected to the BMS.

Using our in house integration experience, all M&E systems were brought together into one easy to operate system, including Heatmiser UFH (Modbus), Daikin AC (BACnet), and the Crestron AV system. The system is fully UPS backed, and can operate for up to 4 hours with no mains power.

Features

Invisible Field Devices

Low Profile temperature sensors were installed out of site, or powder coated in bespoke RAL colours in order to blend with the surfaces they were installed on.

Crestron Home AV Integration

All setpoints, times and temepratures can be viewed and adjusted using the Crestron Smart Home System, with either the local displays or the wireless touch remotes.

Touchscreen Interface

A High Definition Capacitive 21” Touchscreen display provides full visualisation and adjustment of all systems connected to the BMS

Remote Alarm Monitoring

All alarms are reported to the Intech Remote Bureau, providing early warning of developing issues.

110 High Holborn is a multi-tenanted building with a distinctive glass frontage, provides contemporary office space with lots of natural light, over 1st to 8th floors.  110 High Holborn is located in a prominent position on the north side of High Holborn spanning across the junction with Procter Street. The location benefits from access to both the Central and Northern lines and will have access to Crossrail when complete.

Intech Controls were employed directly by Collins Construction, the appointed main contractor and did in fact work directly for Collins on this project. Collins Construction aims to create the perfect workspace. They deliver high quality fit outs & refurbishments within the healthcare, workplace, retail, leisure and education sectors, which exceed expectations through perseverance and the experience of their motivated, flexible and focused teams.

During the 16 week program, Intech Controls were tasked with providing a full turnkey upgrade solution from the existing chilled beams to fan coil units, right through from design to project management, delivery, handover and system training for the client.

Opting for the latest Trend IQeco fan coil controllers, Intech designed and delivered a brand new Building Management System for control of 137 Quartz fan coil units across floors 2, 3 and 4.

The landlord system is also Trend and the schematic pages were integrated into the existing BMS head end / supervisor which is currently Trend IQVision. Form 1 type panels were installed in the risers and a panel mounted 15” Vorex touch screen display allows engineering access to the BMS from the riser cupboard.

Given the nature of the site, the building remained fully operational during the entire 16 week program which added a unique challenge to the delivery process.  

By collaborating across the supply chain, the project was delivered on time and on budget with minimal impact to the client.
