AHU Refurbishment

The Toca Project O2 Dome required refurbishment and repurposing to meet the specific needs of TOCA Social, the world's first interactive football and dining experience. The existing Air-Handling Unit (AHU) did not meet the requirements, necessitating the repurposing of the AHU to accommodate the required air volume for the activity area and bar.

The survey focused on AHU 1, 2, and 3, evaluating options for refurbishment and reinstating them to their original designs or reducing their duties while refurbishing. AHU 1 and 2 were assessed for potential refurbishment and increasing their duty to the maximum capacity, while AHU 3 required refurbishment and maintenance of its current duty.
