BUPA’s winter air curtain care The versatility and aesthetics of the Rund air curtain from JS Air Curtains has cured BUPA’s winter draught problems at the reception of its Health and Wellbeing UK offices in Staines. The air curtain has been custom-designed so it can be easily removed during the summer months when it isn’t required. The large reception atrium suffered from cold draughts during the winter with more than 11,000 employees entering and leaving the building through its revolving doors. JS Air Curtains’ solution was to vertically mount a 2.5m-high, low-temperature, hot water-heated Rund air curtain. l Call 01903 858656 or email

Hitachi Air Conditioning Europe’s VRF awarded ECA status
SE Controls provides safe and comfortable environment for students at Staffordshire University’s Stoke Campus A £30m Science and Technology Centre at Staffordshire University’s Stoke Campus is relying on a combined smoke and natural ventilation solution from SE Controls to create a comfortable and safe environment for staff and students. Designed by architects Sheppard Robson and built by Miller Construction, the extensive facility is part of a £200m flagship regeneration scheme, which is transforming education in the region with the development of the ‘Uni-Q’ university quarter. Working closely with façade and access specialist, Norking Aluminium, SE Controls was responsible for the supply, installation and commissioning of the smoke and natural ventilation solution to ensure the fully automated system met design specifications and legislation for air quality, as well as smoke safety in the event of a fire. SE Controls supplied 240 SCCO and TGCO type chain actuators to the project, which were used in conjunction with 40 OS2 controllers, to provide complete control over the vertical vents, louvres and atrium vents. l Visit

Hitachi’s recently launched Hi Efficiency Set Free VRF – FSXNH – has achieved Enhanced Capital Allowance (ECA) scheme status. The ECA Scheme is part of the government’s programme of measures to manage climate change, which gives businesses tax relief for investing
in energy-efficient, accredited products – making it possible to claim a 100% first year capital allowance against the taxable profits in the period of investment, rather than claiming on a reducing balance basis. l Visit

Canary Wharf banks on the future No 8 Canada Square – better known as The HSBC Tower – has been the global headquarters for the HSBC Group since it was completed in 2002. The 45-floor building was designed by Sir Norman Foster’s team and, at 656 ft, is the second tallest building in Canary Wharf. When the building started to experience problems with its water boosting system, it turned to Grundfos Pumps to recommend a solution. Having ascertained that the original non-Grundfos pumps were not ‘fit for purpose’, the
Grundfos team of sales and service personnel worked with Vear M&E Services to tailor-make the solution. Needing to replace 40 bar pumps – including the related vessels and control panel – in a very confined plant room (the pumps only had four-inch headroom clearance), while the building remained fully operational, presented a huge engineering challenge to all parties concerned. The solution, which incorporated 5x25 bar Grundfos CR32, needed a lot of careful planning and coordination and, once the solution was in situ, the Grundfos service team remained on site for the first 48 hours to ensure there were no issues. l Email
