Telenor Group is a Norwegian multinational telecommunications company. In Pakistan they are owner of the fastest growing network for cellular phones and are also holders of the largest GPRS and EDGE coverage.
They are currently building a mighty 70 million dollar state of the art HQ in the city of Islamabad. It will house over 1.100 employees who can look forward to Silicon Valley-like amenities. The building will be earthquake resistant and outfitted with solar panels and water saving equipment. The design and construction is very sophisticated, the façade is fully airtight, which has not been achieved in Pakistan before. This low leakage construction is needed to prevent that any humid, outside air can enter the building. The building is divided in zones, which can be individually pressurized by Barcol-Air VAV terminals, installed in the supply and return air-ducts.
Barcol-Air was chosen to outfit the open spaces and offices of the complete building with our energy efficient chilled beams, which were specially tested according to EUROVENT testing procedures at WSP laboratorium, Stuttgart, Germany.
