Points of interest:

Orion House is occupied by several different tenants so it was essential to ensure that any possible disruption was kept to a minimum, which required out of hours working.  The existing air conditioning was a VAV installation which had reached the end of its life expectancy. However the central chillers were only a couple of years old and capable of providing the required duty.

 Extensive negotiations were required between Workplace Concepts and the Landlord's professional team to obtain all necessary approvals.
