ENER-G launches next generation building energy management system ENER-G has launched a new tamper-proof building energy management system (BEMS) – E-MAGINE – that is pre-engineered to provide fast installation and commissioning, assured lifetime delivery on energy costs and carbon savings. ENER-G estimates that E-MAGINE can reduce energy usage by up to 25% and save costs on capital purchase, commissioning and on-going maintenance. ‘We have tackled two major system flaws that prevent many building energy management systems from delivering their projected cost and carbon savings over their lifetime,’ said Cedric Rodrigues, managing director. l For more information visit

Gripple behind the scenes at the new BBC Drama Village Not only did the size of the new BBC Drama Village in Cardiff Bay raise many significant construction challenges, including acoustic insulation, but the quick start and tight schedule made it an ideal project for Gripple Hanger solutions. The village has nine studios and is the size of three football pitches. Each of the nine studios required 1,000 fixing points. This would have normally taken nine weeks. Equipment hire and installation time was slashed to under half this though, to just four weeks, using the Gripple method. l For more information visit
