Case study - The Usher Hall, Edinburgh

Heating, Ventilation & BMS upgrades for Scotland’s only five-star concert hall

Usher Hall is an extraordinary blend of historical and contemporary, traditional and modern, inside and out.

The stunning Edwardian building required a modern HVAC solution to facilitate a wider range of performers and audiences. FES were appointed to carry out various M&E systems upgrades throughout the building, including new boiler plant, new chillers, Auditorium Supply AHU refurbishment & site wide BMS renewal.

Daikin Applied Service was selected because of the great customer service and reputable quality products, to supply chillers and upgrade/refurbish the existing Auditorium Supply AHU.

The EWAD-TZ B air-cooled chillers were selected due to their high efficiency with reduced noise option. Low operating cost Flexibility and Reliability the EWAD-TZ B chiller range is the result of careful design, aimed to optimise the energy efficiency of the chillers, with the objective of bringing down operating costs, effectiveness and economical management. The chillers feature high efficiency single screw Inverter driven compressor design, optimised condensing section, advanced technology condenser fans and a “shell & tube” or plate heat exchanger evaporator with low refrigerant pressure drops.
