Project Description
The Challenge
- Kuehne & Nagel adaptation of an existing warehouse for a pharmaceutical storage, (Cork, Ireland)
- Warehouse 80 x 35 x 12m with 3,600 pallets, requiring strict temperature control (15°C to 20°C)
- Limited available floor space, demanding a high level solution, offering minimum disruption and no congestion of high racked aisles
- Strict budget for installation and lifecycle costs
- Openly tendered against competing diffusion solutions
The Outcome
- A competitive solution, as compared with other offers, in an open tender competition
- Third party temperature mapping reported a ±1.5°C variance from set point, throughout the 33,000 m³ warehouse (90 sensors)
- Estimated 30% reduction in heating and cooling costs
- No air draughts or thermal stratification
