Durkee, a global leading provider of HVAC duct solutions, has once again been recognized for its innovative underfloor air duct system. Selected by a leading tech corporation in the US for their new headquarters, our system stands as the exclusive terminal air dispersion solution for their intelligent A/C project. The impressive 22,873-meter fabric duct installation is a testament to our global market leadership and a significant milestone in our ongoing innovation.
Spanning an area of 175 acres (0.71 square kilometers), the new headquarters is a four-level, circular building with a footprint of 2.8 million square feet (260,000 square meters), designed to accommodate a workforce of up to 130,000. The interior boasts a vast café with seating for 3,000, an underground parking lot, and extensive landscaping. Often likened to a "spacecraft" by the media, the facility also includes an auditorium with a 1,000-person capacity, an R&D center, a fitness center, and a 300,000-square-foot (28,000-square-meter) fruit garden. The main power supply is provided by an environmentally friendly power plant, which generates power from natural gas or other eco-friendly sources. The project's architect has declared it to be "one of the greenest projects of its scale worldwide."
To align with the concept of energy conservation and environmental protection, the IT firm entrusted with the project chose our underfloor air dispersion system to distribute conditioned air evenly. Our system was selected for its superior performance and commitment to green objectives.
Durkee's underfloor air dispersion system strategically places fabric air ducts beneath a raised access floor, serving as an air delivery highway to transmit conditioned air to targeted areas. This design displaces existing air from the bottom up, reducing unnecessary waste in unoccupied areas. The system's benefits include even air distribution, quick installation, flexible layout, energy conservation, environmental friendliness, ease of maintenance, and high cost-effectiveness.
We utilize our proprietary micro-permeable fabric to mitigate the risk of condensation while delivering the most effective and energy-efficient performance. Our state-of-the-art airflow system simulation lab, equipped with the industry's most advanced CFD simulation software, allows for precise simulations and tests under real-world conditions. Rigorous testing confirmed that our design meets the high standards of the tech corporation and its design firm. Our commitment to service, including door-to-door delivery within two months, has earned us praise from the client.
This headquarters project signifies a new chapter for our company, positioning Durkee at a competitive advantage and with renewed confidence for future endeavors. With the momentum from this iconic project and our relentless pursuit of innovation, we are poised to elevate our company to new heights in the HVAC/R industry.
