| Skipton HML Headquarters, Skipton| 2009-2010 | passive multiservice chilled beam |
 |
Frenger have successfully designed and supplied over 1,100 linear metres of Carat radiant/convective passive multiservice chilled beams (MSCB´s) to the new HML HQ building, which is a subsidiary of Skipton Building Society and located on the edge of Skipton, the gateway to the Yorkshire Dales.
The new HML HQ has been designed to minimise the impact on the picturesque surroundings and incorporates many energy saving features like our state-of-the-art passive cooling solution to provide optimized comfort levels whilst providing a striking internal aesthetic.
Our MSCB´s were carefully designed to complement the tapered facades of the building and provide a light and airy feel for the building occupants. The MSCB are also linked to the main services in such a way that they appear to float in free space. In addition Frenger also provided a number of Carat passive chilled beams for integration above a suspended ceiling.
Frenger have again demonstrated the unique benefits of our Carat radiant/convective cooling element in delivering high cooling duties with significantly reduced air velocities when compared to traditional passive chilled beams.

| 1 Lancaster Circus, Birmingham | 2009-2010 | passive multiservice chilled beam |
 |
Frenger are proud to have been chosen for the design, supply and installation of over 4,500 linear metres of passive multiservice chilled beams to the refurbishment of Birmingham City Council's HQ building in the heart of Birmingham. The Company was able to demonstrate to the Design Team the unique benefits of the Carat radiant/convective cooling element in delivering high cooling duties (in excess of 100 w/m2) with significantly reduced air velocities when compared to traditional passive chilled beams.
The project presents additional challenges because the building is occupied and therefore works need to be carefully co-ordinated with the Client. Frenger have to date supplied and installed the first phase of this multi million pound order value to Frenger - floor levels four and five - and work on the remaining 3 floors are scheduled for completion by mid 2010. The transformation of the original "dreary" office space into a modern and pleasant environment has been universally appreciated and is a testament to the well-designed application of Frenger's passive multiservice beam technology.

| 101 New Cavendish Street, London | 2009 | active multiservice chilled beam |
 |
The extensive refurbishment of 101 New Cavendish Street has been a most impressive and distinguished project incorporating nearly 2-kilometers of Active Multi-service Chilled Beams over 4-floor levels - over 8500 square meters of prime office space
The Multi-service Chilled Beams on this project provide the main architectural feature within the office space, therefore they are designed to enhance the building by using state of the art space conditioning technology whilst providing a striking aesthetic. To achieve a continuous linear aesthetic the Chilled beams are linked together to form runs of up to 19-meters long. To achieve runs of this length with 100% off site pre fabrication testing Frenger made each beam MSCB section (circa 5 beams long) with 'plug and play' systems for the Mechanical & Electrical services, thus saving our client time and money during the installation.
In addition to the Chilled Beam´s high performance & highly efficient cooling, the integrated luminaries were designed with full daylight dimming and presence detection ensuring that the system continually operated with minimal energy consumption.

| 55 Baker Street, London | 2007-2008 | active multiservice chilled beam |
 |
The iconic 55 Baker Street building in London has been completely refurbished and redeveloped by London and Regional. The project´s well-regarded success proves that 21st Century design can be applied just as well to existing buildings as it can to new buildings.
Frenger's order value was £7.6 million for the supply and installation of 4500 active multiservice chilled beams. The total refurbishment costs for this project were in the region of £200 million for HBG Construction and this is the UK's largest MSCB project to date - and Frenger developed a relationship with HBG that culminated in the Frenger Team being considered as an Award Winning Supplier to HBG.

| Nottingham University, Hallward Library | 2007-2008 | active multiservice chilled beam |
 |
The re-development of this important educational facility demanded a product that delivers the cooling, ventilation and illumination to the space whilst providing a point of architectural interest. Multiservice active chilled beams were selected because they can do all of this whilst providing an extremely comfortable environment with no uncomfortable noise or draught. Further to prototype manufacture the Multiservice beam design was developed specifically for the client to deliver all of the required mechanical and electrical functions at a price point that met with the budget. |

| Duke Street, London | 2007 | active multiservice chilled beam |
 |
The prime location of these offices - less than 1mile from Buckingham Palace - justified the development of a system with additional "wow" factor. There was very little space available in the existing building structure and therefore Frenger's Polaris and Professor units were selected because of their ability to deliver high cooling duties with very little primary air supply. The multiservice chilled beams are finished to a specially-selected silver colour and LED lighting technology has been employed to add an extra "twinkle" to the installed product.

| CEC, Edinburgh | 2006 | passive multiservice chilled beam |
 |
Frenger designed, manufacture and supply approximately 3½ kilometres of Multiservice Chilled Beams for the prestigious Council Headquarters in Edinburgh.
The building has adopted many of the most current ´Green building´ initiatives including Frenger´s latest-generation Carat radiant/convective cooling technology.
The Multiservice beams are finished in silver and have been supplied in single lengths up to 6.1m (the extremely lightweight nature of Carat has made this possible) with integrated direct and indirect lighting modules.

| National Farmers Union, Warickshire | 2006 | passive multiservice chilled beam |
 |
Multiservice passive chilled beams were used to provide the "wow" factor to this highly prestigious new-build headquarter development. The beams were carefully designed to complement the curved floor-plan of the building and provide a light and airy feel for building occupants. The beam casing is provided with a metallic silver finish for an industrial "form and function" look, and the units are linked to the services bulkhead in such a way that they appear to float in free space. Frenger also provided passive and active chilled beams for integration in areas with suspended ceilings, and worked closely with the project engineers to ensure optimal comfort to all locations.

| National Audit Office, London | 2005 | active multiservice chilled beam |
 |
The brief for the refurbishment of a pilot area of this 1970´s landmark building was simple; bring it in into the 21st century, with an up-to-date heating, cooling, ventilation and lighting solution.
The application of Frenger's Polaris active multiservice chilled beams where the obvious solution due to the products ability to deliver high cooling and heating capacities with low air volumes. Additionally, Frenger's patented Drypac™ coating was used on the chilled beams to further enhance their performance.

| 10 Green Coat Place, London | 2004 | active multiservice chilled beam |
 |
For the second phase of the refurbishment of this listed building the design team was looking for an active chilled beam that delivers exceptional cooling duties with very low volumes of air supply. This was achieved by using Frenger's Professor active beam with Drypac™ coil coating.
As a development from Phase one of the refurbishment, the multiservice beam has a number of aesthetics and mechanical enhancements. Most noticeably, the lighting solution is 100% indirect; all of the illumination in the space is derived from luminaries placed on the top of the unit, which reflects light of the vaulted concrete soffit. Also, the beams are just 130mm deep and are slightly curved in section to mirror the structural vaults. Finally, the beams are through-linked on the air side; the air for the second beam is the run is supplied through the first beam in the run.

| Merck Sharp & Dohme, London | 2004 | active multiservice chilled beam |
 |
This prestigious office development called for an integrated cooling/heating/lighting solution that delivered high comfort levels with low maintenance and running costs. The selection of Frenger's active multiservice chilled beam unit meant that the brief could be met with the added benefit of striking aesthetics and compliance with the latest LG3 lighting requirements.
In the open plan areas the Polaris MSCB's are linked together in series on the airside (up to 3 beams in a single run) such that water and air connections are concealed from view, and removable infill sections afford the capacity for future space partitioning. In cellular offices a single MSCB is positioned in the middle of the room with extra luminaires to provide adequate lighting distribution. The MSCB is constructed using continuous aluminium profiles for a smooth and joint-free appearance.

| Saffron Hill, London | 2003/04 | active multiservice chilled beam |
 |
The listed classification for the building coupled with minimal slab-to-slab height meant that this multi-storey speculative office development required a product that could deliver high levels of heating and cooling with minimal fresh air volume. This was achieved using our Multi-Service Chilled Beam complete with cooling coils treated with our patented Drypac technology, enabling us to run below dew point and achieve 60% more cooling for the same volume of supply air.
100% indirect lighting is delivered using TL5 lighting technology and opal diffusers. Tests were carried out in our own laboratories to prove photometric data, air distribution and condensation risk.

| Woolworth House, London | 2003 | active multiservice chilled beam |
 |
This major refurbishment to a landmark building required multi-service chilled beams to an exacting technical specification. Active chilled beams were required that could deliver cooling levels at very low supply air volume (as low as 1 m/sm2). Frenger´s unique twin-battery technology was the only design solution that met with the requirements of DSSR. The installation is one of the largest multiservice chilled beam projects in the UK - with over 1000 chilled beams used on a total of seven floor levels.

| Experian, Nottingham | 2003/04 | passive multiservice chilled beam |
 |
This flagship headquarters building required a state-of-the-art cooling solution to optimize comfort levels whilst introducing a striking internal aesthetic. Multi-service chilled beams were chosen to provide discreet up lighting of the soffit for compliance with LG3.
Frenger´s Carat radiant/convective passive chilled beam was selected because of its´ high cooling capacity and high comfort levels. Furthermore, the radiant effect of the beam allowed for an underplate perforated to just 33%, so improving the visual impact of the multiservice chilled beams.
Extensive project-specific testing was conducted at Frenger´s Derby Laboratory to demonstrate that the chilled beam arrangement worked from a mechanical and architectural perspective.
