UK offices get a breath of fresh air

Article Abstract:

Air conditioning in UK offices has often been underutilized or has not been reliable causing some architects to design offices without air conditioning equipment. A survey of office occupiers found that simple equipment that can maximize energy conservation and control heating levels is gaining in popularity. Air conditioning equipment used European countries is more favourable to companies in the UK than machines from the US. It is estimated that low energy units have running costs that are 30% lower than traditional machines and cost 20% less to install.

A changing balance of risk

Article Abstract:

The IRA bombing of the City of London in Apr 1992 prompted many leading insurance companies to withdraw from the office building insurance sector, leaving the government to take action. A mutual company, Pool Re, was formed in Jan 1993 to reinsure against terrorist damage. This came shortly before the Bishopsgate bombing, which cause damage worth almost 700 million pounds sterling. The UK's commercial property is now at less risk following the IRA ceasefire, and Pool Re has therefore cut premiums.
