Halton - Adaptableclimate - Concept for functional, productive and profitable changes

The challenge - workplace layout flexibility Things change. Layout changes in workplaces are a rule, not an exception. Due to management reorganization, changes in business models, and technological innovations, companies may already change their workplace interior layout once a year. Building services are the major cost generator and a slowing, or even preventing factor in layout changes.

Mobility changes office work. People are no longer confined to one desk, and their work is increasingly dependent on social networks. Consequently, the trend is away from highly structured settings and units towards varied work environments. These needs must be provided for Business supporting facilities are adaptable. Take business parks for an example: tenant companies and their needs are in constant change. Layout adaptability reduces periods without a tenant contract. It also makes short contracts more profitable. Furthermore, team rooms are taking an ever-increasing share of offices....

- Halton Adaptableclimate Effective churn management increases functionality and real estate value. While a change has previously been costly and slow to implement, it can now be a source of competitive advantage.

Change from offices to team rooms. The concept allows users to determine the position of team and office rooms in a zone without limitations. With a broad operation range, the chilled beams are simply adjusted to meet the requirements of the new Change from office rooms to open-plan office. The concept ensures just as high a user satisfaction in an open-plan office as in separate office rooms: the indoor climate can still be adjusted according to every person's wishes. In addition, the concept allows free positioning of division walls. Again, the chilled beams are simply adjusted with...

The benefits – Turn well-being and flexibility into business profit 6

Good conditions support performance and innovation. Productivity of work is perhaps the major factor influencing business profitability. 90% of building lifetime costs consist of salaries of people working in the building, the rest being investment and running costs. Indoor climate conditions affect performance from 2 to 10%. Increase of just 1 % in performance off-sets the annual cost of ventilation. And this really is in the best interests of the building users. Likewise, innovation process and hence performance is supported with better, adaptable spaces. Innovative workplace combines...

- Optimize the life cycle cost structure The building life cycle costs comprise investment, running, maintenance and renovation costs. All these costs are determined to a high degree with the selection of the indoor climate system. Alternatives vary considerably in their adaptability, energy and maintenance patterns, and in their environmental impact.

Life cycle efficient indoor climate. The way to ensure good indoor environment in a life cycle cost efficient manner is to choose the right system to the right space. Offices with a high cooling requirement and a moderate outdoor airflow demand are usually best equipped with chilled beam systems. Team rooms should be equipped with chilled beams with demand-based ventilation as the usage varies. The chilled beam system creates excellent conditions with less energy and maintenance need. The system is a low temperature heating and a high temperature cooling system that optimizes the...

- Support the core business with adaptable spaces "At Nokia Siemens Networks, flexibility of premises and the indoor environment are important. We do not want to compromise on the quality of our indoor environment - compromises can never produce the best Making changes should be easy. They should not automatically create the need for a building project. Ideally, when changes are required, the property management service should simply be able to send a professional who accomplishes the changes with a single screwdriver." Kari Siuru, Nokia Siemens Networks 1. Business demands change. The...

2. New layout is required. Users can determine the positions of team and office rooms freely in a zone. Adaptability of the system effectively removes the need for redesigns in layout changes. With their broad operation range, only adjustments are needed for the Halton Adaptable Chilled Beams’ air velocity, cooling and outdoor airflow rate to meet the requirements of the new layout. 3. Workplaces are designed. Typically, layout changes involving the mechanical system cost 50-100€/m2, excluding walls, IT, etc. With the Halton Adaptable Chilled Beams system, the costs invoked by a new layout...
