A new €25 million primary care centre (PCC) in Mallow, County Cork, which is set to open in January 2010 features natural ventilation and an automated window control system from WindowMaster.
The new 30,000 sq ft contemporary primary care facility amalgamates three existing town centre GP practices into one building. It also integrates accommodation for the Health Services Executive including primary care clinical support services, administration and staff facilities.
Architectural, design consultancy and project management services on the project were provided by PM Group. The centre is set to offer a comprehensive array of services and is the first and the largest of 200 similar centres planned under the Irish government’s Health Strategy.
WindowMaster is supplying the window control system for the natural ventilation solution which includes 120 motors controlling the windows in 94 different zones throughout the centre. Six of the zones have controlling fans but the rest of the installation is purely natural ventilation.
Peter Connolly, regional sales manager for WindowMaster in Ireland, explained: "The Mallow Primary Care Centre was constructed by John Sisk & Son Ltd. WindowMaster was selected because we were able to provide a versatile automatic window and control system.
"There is a vast variety of uses for the areas we are controlling within the centre including GP offices, treatment rooms, meeting rooms and wards. Each had a specific set of challenges that needed to be addressed in the design.
"We were able to supply and install the complete system including the actuators, the power supplies and the interfaces to ensure that it met the design criteria set down by the engineers, RN Murphy."
