Heating & Cooling
from Technical Report
by Phil Win
Due to the mild climate of Glasgow, a mechanical means of heating is required to create comfortable internal spaces.
A heat recovery ventilation system (HRV) will be used as part of the HVAC system. The diagram to the left illustrates the proposed layout for the HVAC ductwork. The ductwork will run along the ceiling. A services zone has been designed in so that the services do not impede users. The service ducts will run vertically between levels at proposed service riser locations.

The heat recovery ventilation system will use the energy from the exhaust warm air of the gym and swimming pool areas. This energy will be collected from the air and used to heat fresh incoming external air. This recycling process will reduce energy on the HVAC system.
The input and output systems will be placed within a rooftop services area, free from polluting air at pedestrian levels.
