Equans Shield Field Towers

Step into a cutting-edge 360-degree mixed reality virtual work experience with Equans, focusing on the Retrofitting of Eco Heating and Fenestration in existing buildings. Namely the Shieldfield Towers Project in Newcastle. This immersive experience provides a hands-on look into the practical techniques and technologies used to upgrade older structures with sustainable heating systems and energy-efficient windows and significantly improving building performance. Especially in difficult environments such as occupied residences.

Throughout this virtual experience, you’ll gain an essential orientation and familiarisation in retrofitting eco-friendly heating. You’ll also learn the process of installing modern fenestration, including triple-glazed windows, focusing on how these installations improve thermal performance, reduce heat loss, and enhance the overall energy efficiency of buildings.

By the end of this virtual experience, you’ll have witnessed the technical demonstrations of retrofitting eco heating and fenestration systems in existing buildings, making a positive impact on sustainability while maintaining compliance with safety standards.
