Wavin surface heating and cooling specialists Warmafloor were commissioned to develop a bespoke heating solution to deliver heat and comfort to the apartments used by 15,000 athletes and officials staying in the village.
The solution was installed in five residential towers, with a total of 1,500 apartments. FSC-certified acoustic timber floors were designed to meet the 90-360mm level floor elevation, omit wet trades and reduce installation time. Warmafloor also custom-designed pump kit manifolds to meet the stringent space allowance in the apartments.
Known as East Village London, these 'lifetime homes' would ensure efficiency and sustainability long after the excitement of the Olympics. The project was awarded an 'Excellent' BREEAM rating and also met the required Code for Sustainable Homes Level 4. It was the first large-scale, high-density, high-rise scheme to be granted this certification.
