| 35 Southland: Ajax Building and Advance Quip The AdvanceQuip project in Gore “shows we are capable of delivering a top-notch architecturally designed project that is built for purpose and perfectly suited to the client’s needs,” says Ajax’s Tom Hewitson. REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT AdvanceQuip’s new Gore workshop built by Ajax Building has been itted out with the latest under loor heating system, installed by the team at Warm and Cool. As the exclusive supplier of CASE construction and earthmovingmachinery in New Zealand, the AdvanceQuip team is looking forward tomoving into their brand new, state of the art Southland sales and service facility – which will serve themwell into the future. Based in Dunedin & Queenstown, and servicing the Otago and Southland regions, Warm and Cool specialises in energy e icient heating and cooling systems. Warm and Cool Managing Director Angus Macniven says the job came to them after Warm and Cool installed a radiant under loor heating system at one of AdvanceQuip’s shareholder’s home.“He was so impressed with the result, it started the conversation about installing radiant under loor heating at the new sales and service facility and it evolved from there,” Angus explains. Heating technology has evolved rapidly, and Angus says there are a huge number of factors that must be considered when looking at the most e icient and practical ways to heat a commercial building in such a cold climate. The o ice spaces will be fully under loor heated while the workshop and service areas are designed to have a warmed slab to signi icantly improve the working environment for AdvanceQuip sta . “This hydronic under loor heating system Working in comfort year around is ideal for them, it’s muchmore e icient than any of the alternatives,” Angus says. “The facility is 1,650m2 and we have done the whole building. We were involved early on in the design stage to ensure that the system design would provide the heating coverage and e iciency required. We speci ied 2 commercial hot water heat pumps, water distribution, control and circulation systems to allow the water to run through pipes encased in the concrete slab. This warms the slab allowing heat to radiate evenly throughout the building. The Ajax Building construction teamwho are working on the facility have commented howwarm it is at work since the system was commissioned which is great to hear.” “Business owners are mostly interested in the long term cost of heating, so while the initial cost to install a hot water heat pump powered hydronic system is higher, the ongoing costs are much reduced and they don’t luctuate as much as other fuels. People need to be comfortable year-around at work and you want to retain your skilled sta who help you keep a successful business running. So commercial heating shouldn’t be an afterthought, especially in the lower South Island.” Warm and Cool o er a wide range of other heating options for residential and commercial spaces.
