The gabion wall is constructed at the front of the building and helps to retain the earth on the site and provide a boundary. The aggregate that is used to fill the cages is recycled.
The curtain wall continues to be fitted with the Pilkington Activ™ Suncool and the Solar system in the gallery is plumbed in. The system uses the ALPHA2 pump which is an ‘A’ Rated Energy labelled product, achieving the highest possible energy savings under the energy labelling scheme. The reduction in power consumption has been achieved by using the latest permanent magnet motor technology. Using pressure controlled operation power consumption can be reduced to as low as 5 watts.
The unique AUTOADAPT feature allows the pump to match its performance to the system requirements, helping to reduce noise when thermostatic valves are closing down.
The ALPHA2 models are simple to install as new or replacement pumps, and are 130mm between ports.
