A former Marks & Spencer building in Stockport has been transformed into a modern office, retail and leisure facility, equipped with high efficiency air conditioning based on an award-winning Toshiba SHRM-e heat recovery Variable Refrigerant Flow (VRF) system. 

The project, by developer Glenbrook, involved remodelling the 64,000-square-foot building, including creation of a new full-height glazed atrium, an outdoor terrace and high-end office accommodation across two open-plan floors, with leisure and retail facilities in the basement and ground floor, all efficiently heated and cooled by Toshiba Air Conditioning solutions.

Five separate Toshiba three-pipe VRF systems were installed by Coolair Services, working for Medway Heating under main contractor City Build, with Toshiba VN heat recovery ventilation systems – installed by Ventilation Design Services – providing fresh air to the building.

The Toshiba ceiling-suspended cassettes are painted in a bespoke black livery to match the contemporary lighting frames. Outdoor condensers are mounted on the rooftop, on a specially constructed support frame.

Each VRF system is connected to a central touch screen controller, enabling the landlord to set comfort and performance parameters separately for each zoned area of the building.

Toshiba’s SHRM-e system has won every major UK air conditioning accolade for its outstanding efficiency and performance. When introduced it broke new ground in terms of compressor design, controls, and wireless communications, extending the application envelope for VRF into new territory.
