| 65 Southwark Street, London | 30th January 2012 |
Frenger Systems have been awarded the contract to supply over 1.2km of Active Multi-Service Chilled Beam to the 65 Southwark Street project in London. The building, know as "The Harlequin Building" is located in the Bankside area adjacent to Tate Modern and the Blue Fin Buildings, a short walk from Waterloo & London Bridge stations and is one of the only large scale developments to be completed in the Bankside area this year. With it's impressive 50m long frontage, the building will offer 68,000 sq/ft of Grade A office space over 6 floors with 3000 sq/ft of retail space on the ground floor and is due for completion during Q2 2012. The building is expected to achieve a BREEAM 'Excellent' rating assisted in part by the use of Frenger's Active MSCB's coupled with DALI daylight linked lighting control and biomass boilers.
One of the challenges faced by the design team was how to utilise the 4 existing floors which offered very low floor to ceiling heights of only 2.65m. Frenger's low profile MSCB's at only 120mm deep were selected in order to maximise the space whilst providing high levels of cooling, heating and thermal comfort to the building occupants. Frenger's unique slim line MSCB's enabled a clear height from the underside of the MSCB to the floor of 2.5m giving the open plan office a deceptive volume.
Frenger also worked with the design team to develop a bespoke lighting solution utilising state of the art Osram T5 "Seamless" lamp technology integrated within full length extruded opal diffusers. The seamless lamp technology provided the optimum lighting solution as continuous 'back to back' illumination of the diffusers could be achieved without the shadow appearance caused when using traditional T5 lamps. The project represents the largest UK installation of its kind to use this lamp technology.
The bespoke lighting solution was developed, tested and manufactured by Frenger within their 'in-house' photometric testing facility in Derby to ensure that the lighting solution provided the optimum lighting distribution and conformed to the latest regulations. Frenger's unique ability to design and manufacture both the MSCB's and the lighting offered a single point responsibility for the design team to provide a turn key package.
Frenger Systems are able to offer a full range of ceiling integrated or exposed chilled beams with standard or bespoke luminaire design within their purpose built Technical Facility in Derby. The company which has been supplying chilled beams to the UK and overseas for more than 15 years offers a full 3d design service as well as full scale thermal performance testing within one of their 3 Climatic Testing laboratories. |

| Domino’s Pizza Group Head Office | 25th November 2011 |
Frenger have successfully designed and supplied Radiant passive multiservice chilled beams (MSCB´s) to the new State of the Art Domino’s Pizza Group Head Office in Milton Keynes which comprises of nearly 2170m2 of floor space.
The new Domino’s Pizza Group Head Office has been designed to incorporate a range of sustainable/renewable technologies to provide energy saving features which includes our state-of-the-art Radiant passive cooling solution to provide optimized comfort levels whilst providing a striking internal aesthetic.
Our MSCB´s were carefully designed to complement the building and provide a light and airy feel for the building occupants. Frenger also provided a number of Radiant passive chilled beams for integration above a suspended ceiling.
Frenger have again demonstrated the unique benefits of our Radiant cooling element in delivering high cooling duties with significantly reduced air velocities when compared to traditional passive chilled beams.
Frenger offer a full range of active, passive and Multi Service Beams, Lighting and Water & Electric driven radiant heating systems from its 'State of the Art' technical facility in Derby. The company supply equipment world wide and have their products and solutions installed in over 15 different countries.

| South African Energy Giant, Eskom, adopts Frenger Chilled Beams for Megawatt Park | 20th April 2011 |
Frenger have successfully supplied active and passive chilled beams to Eskoms head office building at Megawatt Park in South Africa. Eskom, Africa’s largest producer of electricity, is currently piloting the technology as part of its initiative to reducing energy consumption at its largest facility. With reduced energy usage as a result of adopting chilled beam technology and other energy saving factors such as a revised lighting schedule, Eskom has reduced its energy consumption by an estimated 18% at its head office building at Megawatt Park which houses around 2,500 members of staff.

| 'Radiant' / Convective Beams For Veolia Environmental Ltd | 19th April 2011 |
| Frenger have been awarded the contract to supply 'Radiant / Convective' passive chilled beam to the new regional headquarters building for Veolia Environmental Ltd. The new 40,000 sq ft, 3 storey BREEAM Excellent office building, located on the prestigious Kingswood Lakeside development in Cannock is due for completion during the summer of 2011 and will include environmental features such as roof-mounted solar panels, rainwater collection and energy saving light sensors in addition to the low energy comfort cooling "Radiant" chilled beams.
The 'Radiant / Convective' passive chilled beams were selected to provide comfort cooling to the open plan office areas due to the exceptional thermal comfort levels and low energy consumption provided by the system. By utilising a 35% radiant component, the system can provide high levels of cooling without the draughts associated with traditional fin coil battery systems. This unique 'Radiant' component also allows the use of low free area ceiling tiles, as low as 22% open area with same perforation hole sizes as small 1.5 mm diameter whilst maintaining cooling to the occupied zone. Fresh air will be introduced to the space via low level floor grilles, adding to the exceptional indoor environment.
Carat chilled beams are designed to operate at elevated chilled water temperatures (typically 14 - 18 Deg C), facilitating designers to look at renewable technologies such as ground source, cooling towers and free cooling chillers. By operating the chiller plant at elevated temperatures its co-efficient of performance (COP) is increased and energy consumption reduced. The efficiency of the compressor can be increased by using a dry cooling system (inlet water 14 Deg C instead of 7 Deg C) with a percentage increase in COP of typically 22%.
Frenger Systems offer a full range of active, passive and Multi Service Beams, Lighting and Water & Electric driven radiant heating systems from its 'State of the Art' technical facility in Derby. The company supply equipment world wide and have their products and solutions installed in over 15 different countries. |

| Worldpark, Adelaide | 18th February 2011 |
Frenger has successfully delivered in excess of 2800 linear meters of our unique “Radiant” Passive chilled beams to Worldpark, Adelaide which is an impressive 11,500 m2 multi-level office development just outside of the Adelaide CBD at Keswick, South Australia.
Worldpark is a visionary business environment that is both people friendly – designed to encourage meeting, collaboration and a healthy working environment – and environmentally friendly – designed to be environmentally sustainable, conserving water and energy.
Set in a landscaped environment, ‘Green’ initiatives were an essential part of the design, providing sustainable benefits such as significantly reduced energy demand. Therefore, office environment initiatives included our “Radiant” Passive chilled beams to help minimise energy usage. Other ‘Green’ initiatives like reliance on water supply is kept to a minimum, with AAA water fixtures and fittings to reduce usage, and the collection and treatment of storm water onsite.
The environmental credentials of Worldpark are significant. It has a 5 Star Green Star Office Design rating from the Green Building Council of Australia and the building is designed to achieve a 5 Star NABERS Energy rating. Our “Radiant” passive chilled beams were carefully selected to help contribute to achieving these ratings.
Therefore, Frenger are proud to have successfully supplied our unique "Radiant" Passive chilled beams to the project.
