A film studio near London required temporary cooling for two stages during the filming of a new feature. Internal temperatures were climbing due to lighting and equipment use, putting pressure on both crew comfort and production schedules.
Ideal Heat Solutions was brought in to deliver a high-performance cooling system that would meet strict temperature targets without interfering with ongoing shoots.
We followed a clear, staged approach to ensure effective delivery:
Our engineering team conducted an on-site assessment to confirm cooling requirements. The solution was designed to maintain 18°C air supply throughout both stages.
All equipment was delivered pre-configured for fast installation. This included heat-pump chillers, air handling units, ducting, and accessories.
Plant was positioned in a nearby service yard with ductwork routed through access points. Installation was completed in under 48 hours, with minimal disruption to filming.
Chillers and generators were fitted with Trane Connect and telemetry systems. Our engineers could monitor performance off-site and make adjustments in real time.
All plant was selected for energy efficiency, quiet operation, and suitability for use around sensitive on-set equipment:
The client needed consistent cooling for two active stages, with installation completed between scheduled shoots and no disruption to production.
We installed a complete system that maintained comfortable conditions throughout the stages. Cooling was evenly distributed, and performance was tracked remotely to ensure consistency.
The cooling system performed above expectations. Temperatures remained well within target, and the client praised the professionalism and responsiveness of the Ideal Heat Solutions team.
