CTY Air was engaged to deliver a mechanical resolution project at Lune Croissanterie Rosebery, a recently developed luxury bakery experiencing a number of mechanical services issues across the site.
The project involved a detailed investigation of existing mechanical services, followed by a staged resolution approach designed to identify and rectify issues in the most effective and economical way for the client.
Project Overview
The bakery comprises multiple operational zones, each with distinct mechanical requirements, including:
- Front of House / Dine-in area
- Servery
- Wash-up area
- Kitchen and baking area
- Back of House spaces, including office and WC facilities
- An enclosed glass viewing and pastry production space known as The Cube
Given the complexity of the application and Lune’s desire for a cost-effective solution, CTY Air proposed a process-of-elimination approach, delivered through staged works to minimise disruption and target issues efficiently.
Staged Resolution Approach
Stage 1 – Investigation, Coordination & Airflow Balancing
Stage 1 focused on design coordination, investigation, and optimisation of the existing mechanical system to determine whether performance issues could be resolved without major modifications.
Key activities included:
- Finalising outstanding design items in consultation with Lune
- Attending site design and coordination meetings to address clash detection and project pre-requirements, including programming works around operational hours
- Further investigation of existing mechanical services
- Commencing airflow balancing and adjustments, engaging a third-party test and balance company as required to meet the designed airflow requirements within The Cube, Front of House, and Back of House areas
- Submission of airflow and performance results to Lune for review
Stage 2 – Mechanical Modifications (If Required)
Should Stage 1 not achieve the desired outcomes, Stage 2 would be undertaken following airflow rebalancing to further enhance system performance.
Stage 2 works include:
- Supply and installation of new supply air boxes serving The Cube, including patching of openings from existing grilles serving AC-01
- Supply and installation of sheet metal works to patch remaining openings within The Cube
- Modifications to existing ductwork to improve airflow serving AC-01
- Supply and installation of return air grilles within The Cube space serving AC-01
- Supply and installation of sufficient return air ductwork and grille to serve AC-02
- Adjustment of the outside air (O/A) component serving The Cube, if deemed inadequate
- Final balancing and submission of airflow, temperature readings, and performance results
This structured, staged approach ensured that mechanical issues were addressed methodically, minimising unnecessary works while delivering optimal performance outcomes tailored to Lune Croissanterie Rosebery’s unique operational environment. https://lunecroissanterie.com/
