Commercial Installation

Installation of the Unico System Small Duct High Velocity (SDHV) System

Unico carried out a commercial installation at the NSBRC building to showcase their excellent new SDHV Systems in the commercial and professional setting!

The National Self Build and Renovation Centre (NSBRC) is the country’s only permanent venue for independent homebuilding advice and showcases the best building technologies and construction methods.

Since becoming an employee owned business in 2014, the facility has been continuously developed to ensure the optimum visitor experience for the 1000s of self-builders, home improvers and building professionals who attend annually.

The most recent initiative has been the installation of a new Unico System Small Duct High Velocity (SDHV) system in the reception area of the venue to welcome visitors with a comfortable indoor environment whatever the time of year or the weather outside.

Air Craft

This is an an indoor air comfort specialist and approved Specialist Partner for the Unico System. They were responsible for the design and installation of the system.

Managing Director Darren Johnson believes that the all in one cooling and heating solution was the best technology to fulfil the requirements of the project. “ The beauty is Unico’s ability to provide cooling and heating from one compact Air Handling Unit (AHU). It also being able to match it with the latest environmentally friendly Air Source Heat Pump (ASHP) energy source is great. In the summer, the 100+ square metre reception area, with its full width glazing. It can be affected by elevated temperatures especially when many visitors can congregate. Then in colder months the space needs heat and Unico can deliver that too.” says Managing Director Darren Johnson.

How We Did It

The suspended ceiling above the reception had plenty of space for the installation of a Green Series Unico MB4260H Air Handling Unit (AHU). It features the latest Variable Speed Control high efficiency fan, which is up to 62% more energy efficient. Smart Control Board to ensure precise airflow control, easy commissioning and diagnostics.

One of the major advantages of the Unico System is its ability to be adapted for operation with the latest heat pump technology.  In this case it uses a Heat Pump coil and a Daikin Heat Pump outdoor unit. We were also using low environmental impact R32 refrigerant with significantly lower Global Warming Potential (GWP).

To ensure compatibility between the two technologies, Unico and Daikin cooperated to develop a customised control box interface.  Air Craft used their extensive experience to ensure the required loading and technical performance for the AHU and the ASHP were carefully matched.

The installation was completed by Air Craft with minimal disruption in the day to day operation of the reception area. Following rigorous testing it was fully operational in time for the NSBRC’s series of open days in May 2022.
