Polypipe launches Silvavent low energy fan range Polypipe Ventilation, manufacturer of market leading energy-saving domestic and light commercial ventilation systems, has launched the first new addition to the Silavent range following its acquisition of the brand last year: a new range of low Watt centrifugal bathroom extract fans. The new competitively priced
Silavent low Watt fans use an incredible 70% less power than conventional fans, dramatically reducing operating costs and helping to reduce overall building energy consumption, an issue which remains high on the political agenda. In fact, changes to Part L of the Building Regulations require the Specific Fan Power (SFP) to be no higher than 0.5 Watts per litre per second (W/l/s); Polypipe’s range of low Watt fans outperform this minimum standard.
The new range incorporates units suitable
for most domestic applications, including decentralised Mechanical Extract Ventilation (dMEV) versions. These include the Curzon 100mm and Mayfair plug-in specification fan, which also features a twin speed dMEV option. l For more information call 08443 715523 or email

New source of renewable information for architecture The country’s architects have access to a new information source on renewable technology with the installation of a permanent exhibition stand at the Building Centre in London’s Store Street from Mitsubishi Electric, which focuses on sustainability in the built environment. The company, which has long pioneered energy efficiency, is using the space to highlight the potential that heat pumps offer in reducing the energy load required to heat, cool and ventilate both commercial and residential properties, and is also focusing on the energy producing potential of photovoltaic panels. l For more information visit

Global partners attend Hydropath conference A three-day conference held in Nottingham saw distributor partners from 23 countries come together to celebrate Hydropath Holdings success worldwide. Hydropath’s non-chemical limescale prevention technology has been used in product applications as diverse as Chilean copper mines and cement factories in Iran. Hydropath started in 1992, after Dr. Danny Stefanini devised his theory on crystallisation and developed the first prototype model in treating limescale. British Gas became one of the first customers; since then,Hydropath has developed 12 different ranges. l For more information about Hydropath visit

TA Hydronics provides unique solution to Uniqa Tower TA Hydronics has lent its technological expertise and specialist range of balancing valves for use in the construction of a new HVAC system at Uniqa Tower in Vienna, Austria. It was important to ensure the installation of a heating and cooling system that would be able to maintain the comfort levels required. The building is 75 metres tall, so TA Hydronics needed to deliver a solution tailored to the project itself, considering its sheer scale and the need to effectively heat and cool all areas of the building. l For more information visit
