Of course, Moscow's best neighbourhoods arepreferred. Finding a prime address with excel-lent local and communication infrastructure isone of the main stages in the process of estab-lishing a new branch office. For this step, thesupport of local companies specialised in de-velopment projects like the Romanov Develop-ment Group is crucial.

The company headquarters are located in the“Romanov dvor” office building, most signifi-cant project realized by the “Romanov Devel-opment Group”. The literal translation of Ro-manov dvor is "court of the Romanovs" andrefers to the estate of the Romanov tsar fam-ily that was located at this place in the 17thcentury. The name shows the proximity to thecentre of powers, the Kremlin. The building lo-cated near the Romanov Pereulok is only 500

m from the Red Square and one of the mostprestigious addresses in town. With a surfaceof 50,000 m2, the building offers enough spacefor its tenants, leading multinational compa-nies and banks, that attach great importanceto highest comfort and value the building'spleasant atmosphere with an atrium, wintergarden, spacious front staircase, view lifts andunderground parking. Of course, the buildingis equipped with modern building engineeringfor air conditioning and central heating.

The required air-conditioning installationswere realised in several sequences by twocontractors. The first installation with Güntnerdrycoolers and an overall refrigerating capacityof 1490 kW was designed and implemented bythe contractor Trane. For server room cooling,units of the series GFH were selected. Drycool-ers of the series GFD were installed for air-con-ditioning the seven storey building. These unitsoperate with ethylene glycol and are equippedwith aluminium fins and copper tubes for safeand reliable cooling.

The drycoolers have been installed on the roof.

It was possible to install the units on the roof,because the units have such a low noise levelthat the noise control regulations can be ob-served even at night. Due to the architecture ofthe building, the installation of the units on theroof was quite a technical challenge. A specialcrane was necessary to lift the units to the roof,because the building is located in an area ofhigh housing density.

In 2007, an additional server room was creat-ed. For equipping the server room with cool-ing installations, the company Artek selected

two Güntner drycoolers of the series GFW withan overall refrigerating capacity of 580 kW. Al-so in this case the installation was carried outsmoothly with the necessary technical support.

From the roof of the office buildingone has a good view of the Kremlin.
