Daikin Applied UK supply heating, ventilation and BMS upgrades to UK five-star concert hall.
A Reputable HVAC Solution for an Edwardian Concert Hall
A prestigious UK Edwardian concert hall required a modern HVAC solution to enhance energy efficiency and maintain an optimal indoor climate. As part of a wider mechanical and electrical (M&E) upgrade, the contractor was tasked with installing a new boiler plant, new chillers, refurbishing the Auditorium Supply AHU, and renewing the site-wide Building Management System (BMS).
Due to Daikin Applied UK’s reputation for high-quality, reliable HVAC solutions and exceptional customer service, the company was selected to supply new chillers and upgrade the existing AHU.
High-Efficiency Chillers with Low Noise Operation
To meet the acoustic and energy efficiency requirements of the venue, Daikin EWAD-TZ B air-cooled chillers were chosen. This range is specifically designed to optimise energy consumption and minimise operating costs while maintaining flexibility and reliability.
The EWAD-TZ B chiller features:
- High-efficiency single screw inverter-driven compressors for optimised performance
- Advanced condenser fans to reduce noise levels
- Optimised condensing section for improved efficiency
- Shell & tube or plate heat exchanger evaporators with low refrigerant pressure drops
By selecting this high-performance chiller, the project successfully delivered quiet, efficient, and cost-effective cooling, ensuring long-term reliability for the concert hall. The EWAD-TZ B chiller meets stringent energy efficiency and noise reduction requirements, aligning with UK Government HVAC standards for air conditioning systems.

Air Handling Unit (AHU) Refurbishment
Instead of replacing the existing 20-year-old AHU, Daikin Applied UK carried out a full refurbishment, increasing its efficiency and extending its operational lifespan. Refurbishing an AHU can significantly reduce costs and minimise downtime, which was a key consideration for this busy city-centre venue.

Customer-Focused Service & Project Delivery
From initial site visits to technical documentation and installation, Daikin Applied UK worked closely with the contractor to deliver the project on time and to specification, despite logistical challenges associated with its city-centre location.
Daikin Applied UK ensures all HVAC upgrades meet the latest BSI ventilation and air-conditioning standards for safety, performance, and energy efficiency. Read more about the BSI HVAC standards here.
"Another project where Daikin Applied delivered exactly what was promised. Always willing to assist and deal with any challenges or issues that arose. We are delighted with the service and look forward to continuing to work with Daikin Applied UK in the future."
