Trios helps West Bromwich bus station improve efficiency

摘要

The installation of new air conditioning into an iconic bus station is helping keep office staff comfortable - whatever the weather. Managed by Centro, West Bromwich station was built in 2002 and provides the town with a major interchange between local bus services and also with the nearby Midland Metro tram line. The existing air conditioning system had worked well since 2002 but was getting old and was using R22 refrigerant which is now banned, so the company was aware that it needed to find a suitable replacement. "The station has been praised as being open and accessible with covered corridors connecting the 24 departure stands but its offices and retail outlets can easily become hot in the summer and cold in the winter," explained Yvonne Whelan, facilities manager for property consultancy Bruton Knowles, which manages the station's services on behalf of Centro.
