The Challenge
Provide comfort cooling for summer filming of new TV series
Our customer, a media production company, were filming an exciting new TV series at their UK studios, in the height of summer temperatures. Unfortunately, the stage they were using didn’t have any on-site cooling (HVAC). We were challenged to provide an efficient, temporary solution.There was limited location space, so we had to be adaptable, while noise would have to be kept to a minimum in what was a live studio environment.
