Energy plant room design
Engineering and design of heat pumps, borehole fields, district heating, free cooling and heat recovery. Norway's leading experts in energy plant room design.
The energy plant room is the heart of a sustainable building. If it is designed incorrectly, the building pays for it for forty years. We design energy plant rooms that are simple enough to operate well, and flexible enough to handle changes in use and the energy market.
Technologies
- Heat pumps: ground-source, seawater, air-to-water, cascade systems
- Borehole fields: sizing, balancing extraction and storage
- District heating and district cooling integrated with on-site production
- Free cooling from borehole fields, seawater or dry coolers
- Heat recovery from internal processes, cooling systems, data centres and exhaust air
Our role
- Concept selection and preliminary design with life-cycle costs (LCC)
- Detailed design including heating plant, cooling plant and control systems
- Tender documentation and contractor evaluation
- Follow-up during construction and system balancing phases
- Start-up, functional testing and handover
What sets us apart
- Experience from over one hundred energy plant rooms at various scales
- Close collaboration with controls engineering — control sequences are not drawn up afterwards
- Designed for operation, not the drawing board: we are on site when the plant is commissioned
We are happy to take responsibility for the entire delivery, or to act as a specialist resource alongside the general RIV designer.
