The project managed to achieve overall energy figures substantially less than ECON 19 benchmarks through one of Europe’s largest chilled beam lighting installations.

The Thorn recessed luminaires are integrated along both sides of the Trox chilled beams. They employ 1 x 35W T16 fluorescents with louvres, linked to a lighting control system.

The lighting is pleasantly subdued with no glare and is engineered to provide a uniform light spread across the bespoke barrel ceiling, which provides the scheme with its most striking interior motif.

Scotland’s biggest office development was designed by Michael Laird Associates and engineering design was undertaken by WSP working in partnership with project and construction manager MACE Ltd.
