Cool conditions for West country cops

The chilled panels work with 'air displacement ventilation' to provide what is now known as comfort cooling. Air is introduced at floor level at just below room temperature (18¼C). As it heats up through contact with people and machinery it rises to the ceiling panels which are chilled to 16¼C. The cooled air then descends and recirculates. The project is due for completion in May.
