Luxury Apartments Get The Unico Treatment

Developer ISIS International is installing twenty one Unico System mini-duct high performance central cooling and heating systems at new luxury apartments in Lancaster Gate, London.

Developer ISIS International is installing twenty one Unico System mini-duct high performance central cooling and heating systems at new luxury apartments in Lancaster Gate, London.

The Lancaster Gate apartments is a high profile development scheduled for completion this year.

Apartments are expected to sell at upwards of £750 square foot.

The installation of Unico System combined air conditioning and heating systems is now nearing completion.

The Unico System delivers both heating and air conditioning, which is both draught free and not subject to the cold spots and variations in room temperature that traditional radiators provide - with Unico there is less than 2 degree c difference from ceiling to floor level in a typical household room, whilst with radiators it can be up to 8 degree c.

Even more appealing to the developer was the aesthetics of the Unico System, as the heating and the air conditioning is delivered through small unobtrusive outlets at ceiling level.

This leaves walls and floors free from radiators or other heating/cooling appliances and provides a high level of interior design flexibility.

The whole system operates from a heat pump and overall it delivers 3kw of energy for every 1kw input, making it extremely energy efficient - especially in comparison with alternatives such as convector or storage heaters.

To provide both air conditioning and heating using a heat pump as the source, the Unico System features a heat pump coil.

Air is pulled across the coils to provide either cool or warm air.

Each apartment has its own system, whilst some of the larger apartments have two.

When complete ISIS will be offering top quality apartments with a combined heating/air conditioning system unlike any other in terms of aesthetics, energy efficiency and achieving precisely the desired comfort levels.
