This 21-storey, 299-unit residential building is the latest highrise tower to be constructed by Medallion Corporation in London’s old East side.
Challenges
The project included a tight timeline, which meant we had to ensure we did our part to help the contractor stay on schedule.
The Solution
We overcame this challenge by coordinating with the contractor for three separate shipments from Aldes. All suites and lounge areas in this new highrise tower have been equipped with Aldes E130-HR energy recovery ventilators (ERVs). The E130-HR delivers impressive, drainless enthalpic heat-recovery performance in a compact, easy-to-install package that is only 9 ¼ inches in height.
The E130-HR provides 133 cubic feet per minute of ventilation air at 0.20 inch water gauge of external static pressure, sufficient for even the largest units in multi-family construction. Adjustment and balancing of airflows are simple, as it is done with onboard speed pots. For smaller suites, the Aldes E80-HR is also available.
The benefits of using ERVs include the following:
- Enhanced indoor air quality
- Enhanced thermal comfort
- Quiet ventilation
- Building envelope durability
- Combustion appliance safety
- Building compartmentalization, reducing the overall stack effect
Our Approach
Our approach involved close collaboration with the contractor and the manufacturer, Aldes, to ensure timely deliveries and efficient installation. By proactively managing the logistics, we minimized potential delays and kept the project on track.
Conclusion
The successful installation of Aldes ERVs in the new highrise tower exemplifies our commitment to enhancing indoor environments while adhering to tight construction schedules. By prioritizing both performance and efficiency, we have contributed to a building that offers residents improved air quality and comfort for years to come.
