Sirius Products launches energy management system Sustainable air management and fi ltration specialist Sirius Products has launched an update to its Synergy Controls system – a practical, user-friendly solution designed to reduce kitchen extract energy consumption by up to 30%. By combining tried and tested technology with the latest scientifi c advancements, Synergy can achieve accurate and intelligent responses to the changing ambient environment. Traditionally, kitchen extraction runs at full power from the minute food preparation starts until the very last customer has left. This can be anything up to 14 hours a day. Synergy uses optical by-product detectors and temperature sensors positioned within the canopy itself to actively monitor minute changes in cooking activity and adjust the operation of the extract system accordingly. Intelligent and pro-active, Synergy will actively calculate the most effi cient exhaust rate for any cooking application, and will continue to monitor and adjust this throughout its lifetime. The clear, intuitive control panel gives users easy access to system data, including an energy log detailing the exact amount of energy used and saved. Synergy can be retrofi tted into existing kitchens, or integrated into all new Sirius canopies for optimum results.  Call 01707 299339, visit www.siriusproducts.co.uk or email info@siriusproducts.co.uk


Swimming pool is ‘future-fi t’ with Dimplex Miskin Manor, a Grade II listed hotel and leisure club in Wales is now ‘future fi t’, with Dimplex heat pumps as part of a £1.2m refurbishment that has combined facilities upgrades with the latest technology for lower energy costs and environmental impact. Set in 22 acres of parkland near Cardiff, the leisure club attracts users from sports professionals to families with young children. An essential part of the facilities upgrade was the fast response and control of the heating system. Miskin’s group facilities manager Amanda Rosenberg explains: ‘We wanted to achieve the best of all worlds in terms of environmental measures and control. Lower fuel bills are key, but it’s equally important for us to be able to regulate the temperatures easily to accommodate the needs of different user groups from our 2,000-strong member base. And the control is quite literally push-button.’ Dimplex installer partner WDS Environmental designed the system. Two Dimplex LA 28 AS air source heat pumps were installed, one to provide heating and high demand hot water for the showers, the other for the swimming pool, with spare capacity for extension into the next phase of the hotel’s refurbishment programme.  Call 0845 601 5111 or visit www.dimplex.co.uk

Energy-effi cient Dimplex air curtains cut CRC-EEC costs Businesses had to buy their fi rst carbon credits under the CRC Energy Effi ciency Scheme (CRC EES) in April, but the costs of the scheme can be reduced in future by installing energy-saving equipment such as Dimplex air curtains. The CRC EES aims to cut carbon emissions from non-domestic buildings and, since April, large organisations have to buy carbon credits to offset carbon emissions, at the rate of £12 per tonne. Although the costs to businesses have been set for the fi rst year, installing air curtains now can reduce future costs – as well as making savings on energy costs immediately. Open doorways can be a major challenge to energy effi ciency, but air curtains offer the perfect solution, providing an invisible curtain of air to separate internal and external environments when access points are


open. Air curtains can cut a building’s energy consumption by up to 30%. Phil Chilton, product manager for commercial installed products at Dimplex, said: ‘Air curtains have huge potential to cut carbon emissions when used with heating systems, and can have an even greater impact on energy use from air conditioning systems. With the CRC EES adding to costs, air curtains can create high levels of savings for relatively little investment.’  Call 0845 601 5111 or visit www.dimplex.co.uk
