To feature in What’s New, call Sarah Norwood on 01622 699177 A Focus Point adds AET Fantiles to underfloor HVAC system
ET Flexible Space, a leading authority on underfloor air conditioning systems, have recently supplied their unique fan terminal
units, known as “Fantiles” to an existing underfloor system at Focus Point on the Caledonian Road. The building is part of the Regents Quarter, a prominent mixed use development located near Kings Cross and St Pancras. The existing underfloor system is a York Flexsys
installation, operating with a central plant supplying air at high volume and introducing supply air into the space using traditional swirl grilles. Fantiles are easily integrated with central plant systems, retaining the principle of displacement
ventilation but offering more comfort and control with the addition of fan assisted terminals. AET Flexible Space has supplied and
commissioned 46 TU4‐EC Fantiles for the first floor of Focus Point. The existing pressure control equipment has been reconditioned and AET have also supplied their latest Flexgateway communications module to connect the Fantiles to the main BMS. AET is confident that with the addition of
Fantiles, the system is capable of providing high specification comfort cooling to potential new occupants and hopes to receive the order to provide a similar solution to the second and third floors.
Mackwell supplies emergency lighting to Willmott Dixon Interiors’ HQ
for use in a design and build upgrade at the head office of Willmott Dixon Interiors in the City of London. Based in Farrington Street, Clerkenwell, the Willmott Dixon building has seen a complete refurbishment with the aim of improving general building performance, aesthetics, agility and efficiency. The project included Mackwell’s low voltage emergency lighting, a new CAT6 UTP cabling infrastructure, Wi‐Fi network, CCTV, Access Control and Audio Visual systems, in addition to the installation of LED luminaires for general lighting throughout the facility.
M LMG specified Mackwell’s emergency
lighting system for all seven floors of the building. The company selected a combination of Mackwell’s XYLUX® LR4 emergency luminaires and XY‐VEX LED exit signs. XYLUX® LR4 is a non‐maintained luminaire and XY‐VEX is available as either maintained or non‐maintained, with both being utilised as part of the Wilmott Dixon installation. The XYLUX® LR4 features specifically designed snap‐in optics and its compact design makes it ideal for a variety of interior
ackwell has supplied LED emergency lighting to intelligent building services specialists LMG,
applications including corridors, stairwells and open plan office space. Each lamp head on the XYLUX® LR4 contains an integrated bi‐colour indicator system and test switch and 500mm wiring loom, whilst recessed mounting brackets allow for quick and easy on‐site installation. Mackwell’s XY‐VEX architectural 3 hour
LED exit signs, in both maintained and non‐maintained versions, designed for fast fix installations that allows wiring to be complete before decoration, were also chosen for the project. Available with a choice of technology options which includes DALI, the XY‐VEX incorporates high performance LEDs to provide a 50,000 hour life. The entire emergency system is powered and monitored by Mackwell’s N‐light® EC, an intelligent low‐voltage LED emergency panel that provides a central component for powering and commissioning Mackwell’s emergency lighting systems. N‐light® EC works in harmony with all of the general lighting in the building, which is also powered via category cable. N‐light® EC is a fast and simple approach
to installing emergency lighting as all products are connected via a plug‐in category cable, eliminating wiring errors and N‐light® software assists in the commissioning phase and simple reporting of the emergency system. This reduces the impact on personnel and resources as N‐ light® software provides the ability to setup automatic testing and reporting to ensure the system is maintained and monitored in line with the latest safety standards and regulations.

internet connection for a comprehensive energy monitoring system which can be remotely managed via the mobile network. The VMU‐D is a cost‐effective way to collect/view

data remotely in applications where there is no hardwired internet connection. The unit is only 2 DIN wide and provides a plug and play configuration via the VMUC‐ EM interface. Compatible with all products within the VMUC EM and VMUC‐Y family the VMU‐D’s “Watchdog” feature prevents common mobile network disconnection issues and provides full SMS and alarm functionality. A modular solution, the VMU‐C EM allows you to
gather data from several energy meters, power analysers and VMU Series I/O modules on a single installation and view this information on any PC. For a single site this integrated web server unit
provides the necessary data to be used as a standalone solution to monitor and manage energy consumption. But perhaps the real benefit is the VMU‐ C EM’s ability to act as a gateway, giving users complete flexibility in information handling. The VMUC‐EM series ensures optimal performance
in projects focused on energy efficiency improvement, energy data management and renewable generation monitoring.
