Air Conditioning Systems for Shopping Centres

---

Shopping centres benefit from customers shopping in a controlled air conditioned shopping centre, as do the staff that are employed by the centre and the retail outlets. The shopping centre requires a unit designed specifically to satisfy the air-conditioning requirements of medium and large spaces.

Air conditioners in shopping centres need to be robust to deal with the demanding working environment. They must be able to handle natural temperature variants which are often caused as a result of doors constantly opening, outside temperatures flowing in as well as fluctuating with varying footfall and resulting inconsistent numbers of bodies producing heat. It is important that shopping centres’ air conditioning systems include a rapid response to these changing temperatures as well as being reliable and flexible to provide the most comfortable environment possible.

Shopping centres usually require complex installations, which can be in the ceiling or on a roof top so that wall and floor space can be kept clear, with ducting carrying the air.

Building managers look for high efficiency levels, operating flexibility and reduced maintenance whilst the finance, communications and marketing personnel seek “green” elements to profile their shopping centre in a positive light and to keep costs down.

We know that retail shops and shopping centres are often managed by head offices or facility management companies. In such cases it is vital to have the option of remote monitoring of the air conditioning units and this is one of the options that we can provide for shopping centres.

Air conditioning units for shops need to be considered by shop-fitters, designers and consultants so that the correct system is installed at a competitive price and on time, ideally when the shopping centre is designed. They can also be installed retrospectively by companies such as GalxC.

If the climate is right customers are more likely to linger and buy, meeting your aim as a shopping centre manager. You will be supporting your tenants, from the various retail outlets that trade from your shopping centre, by providing footfall to the shops.
