As Scotland’s busiest airport, Edinburgh Airport opened in 1916 and welcomed more than 14 million passengers through its doors last year.

It has invested £219 million in the premises in the last 10 years and plans to invest another £250 million in the next decade on more upgrades and was pleased to introduce the spring passengers to its stylish new airport lounge earlier this year.

Ecomech worked under main contractors AA Lovegrove to help the airport to achieve a greater customer travel experience. Comfort cooling, designed to cool spaces and create comfortable temperatures for passengers, was used in the lounge and bar areas and was achieved using Diffusion, chilled/LPHW ducted fan coil units and Schako ceiling-mounted swirl diffusers to ensure a low draft installation.

The project also comprised split air conditioning in the server room, general supply and return air ventilation, kitchen extract ventilation to collect and remove heat, moisture and contaminants from cooking appliances and WC extract systems.
