The Challenge

Ronald McDonald House Charities offers vital support to families with a child in hospital, and this new four-storey residential block allows families to prepare their own meals and get a good night’s sleep, providing a home away from home and a degree of stability in an often distressing and uncertain time.

The Requirements

What was needed was an energy efficient heating and cooling system and a regular supply of fresh air.

During the final design stage, it also became apparent that leak detection would be required due to the refrigerant pipe work distances, although this hadn’t been included in the project budget.

The Solution

The unique Hybrid VRF system removes the need for leak detection in occupied spaces because it uses water to transfer heating and cooling around the building.

Lossnay ventilation systems also provide energy efficient fresh air ventilation, improving air quality and comfort for residents.
