Extended HVAC & electrical installations at CM Hasselt

CM Hasselt

For the new headquarters of CM (Christelijke Mutualiteit) in Hasselt, Imtech carried out an extensive range of electrical, HVAC and sanitary installations.

HVAC, sanitary- & buildings management system

The building features energy-efficient HVAC systems that not only provide flexibility through modular construction but also ensure efficient heating and cooling water production with 4 pipe heat pumps. Additionally, the building boasts 4 air groups equipped with absorption heat wheels. These wheels not only offer high efficiency but also provide superior humidity control, resulting in elevated comfort levels for the occupants. The ventilation system, which is modularly configured for hygiene purposes, includes CO2 control in specific zones like meeting rooms.

For optimal comfort, the building employs climate ceilings to manage heat and cold emission. This technology is designed to offer maximum comfort to all users. Moreover, each zone within the building is individually controllable, allowing personalized climate settings.

Thanks to its modular construction, the building can accurately monitor energy consumption. This is achieved by recording energy measurements per block, floor, and zone. This detailed measurement encompasses both heating/cooling energy usage and water consumption.

Furthermore, the building prioritizes convenience by providing a sanitary core on each floor per block. Safety measures are also integrated, with fire reels conveniently placed throughout the building and sprinkler systems installed in the underground parking levels.
