Plain-language summary

Proposed VRF enclosure and refrigerant pipework would be installed within Exchange Place 3, with a new galvanised mesh enclosure replacing timber cladding.

A new VRF enclosure will be formed within the basement car park, with associated refrigerant pipework distributed from the basement to Level 04. The pipework will rise via the existing lightwell to Level 00, continue externally along the existing retaining wall and trench within a new mesh enclosure replacing the existing timber-clad enclosure, then enter the building low level through the existing louvred plant space at Level 00 before being distributed internally to the upper floors.
