The Paragon office building, close to
Bristol’s St Nicholas market, has been
granted a BREEAM ‘excellent’ rating.

Air conditioned throughout by
Ability Projects Matrix I EC/DC fan
coil units, the £35m development
features the high level of insulation
and air tightness required by BREEAM.

Air conditioning is supplied to the
office floors by 94 concealed ceiling
cassette, 4 pipe MATRIX I EC/DC
fan coil units with maximum nominal
cooling and heating capacities of
5.06kW, operating at NR34 noise
rating at 30pa resistance.

The Matrix fan coil system
provides infinitely variable speed
control of the fan coil unit as well as
each fan within it, enabling each air
duct to be balanced for air volume
through fan speed alone, removing
the need for volume control dampers.

Matrix I fan coils are designed to
adjust the overall air volume
according to room occupancy, thermal
demand or a combination of the two.
