John Noad Ltd was appointed to deliver a strategic upgrade of critical infrastructure systems at the Victoria Shopping Centre, Nottingham. The phased program encompassed enhanced thermal efficiency, environmental resilience, tenant metering accuracy, and improved control capability — executed without disruption to retail operations. Works included chilled water upgrades, new cooling towers, a geothermal fallback system, and replacement of BMS controls.
Project Details & Design WinsReplacement of legacy pumps, valves, and inverter-driven motor controls to improve efficiency and reliability; installation of Offgen/MID-compliant heat meters per tenancy for transparent billing.
Demolition of three aging cooling towers and installation of quieter, more efficient units with integrated water treatment, new steel supports, and sound attenuation, aligned with Trane chiller configurations.
Replacement of Trane Tracer Summit control package with a modern BMS incorporating plant graphics, remote access, and tenancy submetering; supports integration with future expansion.
Deployment of an open-loop ground source cooling contingency with abstraction and recharge wells, inverter-driven pumps, and heat exchangers to maintain cooling capacity where rooftop towers are unavailable.
