About the ke
EASY TO ASSEMBLE,
the KE architectural element will be the central hub for all utility infrastructures, which is housed in compartments and distributed within zoned layers according to specified locations.
The KE architectural element is dimensionally adaptable to form and define interior space both in new and renovated conditions. As a result, optimum space utilization is accomplished through an efficient design.
The KE architectural element provides an effective distribution of utility infrastructure by supporting the installation and routing of (a) heating, ventilation, and air conditioning units, (b) tank or tankless hot water units, (c) plumbing fixtures (d) electrical power load centers and wiring, (e) security system, (f) technology, (g) sound and communications systems, and (h) others. Integral cavity space is compartmentalized to organize the delivery of the above systems from source to individual device locations. All or a part of these devices can be located within the KE architectural element.
A sustainable use of resources practice is reinforced through a decrease in the amount of material, time, and energy expended in the compact nature of this concept. The material length of piping, ducting, and wiring is reduced throughout the interior space design. This reduction in the amount of material used and time spent roughing-in these utilities accelerates the construction schedule, resulting in cost savings to the overall project. The installation of HVAC equipment and associated ductwork in a conditioned space reduces the amount of energy required to re-condition the air resting within and results in lower operating expense. Designers and builders alike use the KE architectural element to mold and model a sustainable approach to 21st century interior space design.
