Featured Project
Aston Martin Racing Team takes IAQ pole position with ARM Environments
Objectives
We were contacted in 2022 to support the development of a new state-of-the-art 15,000m² HQ for Aston Martin's racing team. This space would occupy two floors and encompass varied spaces enabling all aspects of Formula 1's elite car design, cutting-edge R&D, top-of-the-line manufacturing equipment, efficient assembly, and high-tech testing. The team specified that low levels of particulate matter (PM), volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and odours would be required to maintain a safe, healthy, and productive workspace.
Solutions
To meet these specifications, we used some of the latest and greatest electronic air cleaning solutions. We utilised fan coil bipolar ionisers unique to ARM to effectively reduce the levels of total volatile organic compounds (TVOCs) and PMs. We also installed UVC filters into the air handling units (AHUs) which keep the heating and cooling coils clean and eliminate organic matter like bacteria which are caught in the filter. This UVGI air purifier technology keeps the internal components clean, resulting in lowered maintenance costs in the long-term.
Results
ARM were effective in collaborating with the client to deliver outstanding air quality in their new HQ. We successfully met their key design specification criteria with our industry-leading, future-proofed air purification methods. Furthermore, by installing UVGI systems, the company will be saving money in the long term, due to less frequent maintenance visits, whilst also enjoying fresh, sterile air.
Challenges
- Specific design specifications
- High profile project
- Industry focus on sustainability & wellbeing
"In-person collaboration is often an essential requirement for high-performing teams. It was critical that worries about IAQ did not distract the Aston Martin Formula 1 team from their jobs. Their building has been fitted with the latest clean air systems, so they can concentrate on building a championship winning car".
