Salford spruces up with Kingspan Insulation
holds the highest possible BRE Green Guide summary rating of A+ and with thermal conductivities as low as 0.020 W/m.K. This helps to maintain internal space and should also help to minimise heating bills for the residents. The insulation boards are being fitted tightly to the original brick and block walls.

Recticel Insulation marks a BIM century
A leading PIR manufacturer, Recticel Insulation has marked a century by posting more than 100 objects with the award-winning NBS National BIM Library, the fastest-growing BIM library in the UK. The Recticel portfolio of BIM objects includes its three key brands – Eurothane, Eurowall and Powerdeck. This encompasses solutions for flat and pitched
roofs, walls (including rainscreen systems) and floors. The continual development of Recticel’s BIM offering ensures its suitability for projects of all types, with a particular view towards the impending requirement from the UK Government that all public construction projects are to be built using level 2 BIM from 2016.

Mitsubishi Electric has launched a new air conditioning system that delivers levels of comfort normally associated with Chiller technology, while providing the flexibility and efficiencies of traditional VRF (Variable Refrigerant Flow). The City Multi Hybrid VRF system operates without using refrigerant in occupied spaces, removing the need for leak detection equipment and allowing more properties to take advantage of manageable phased installation through the system’s modular two-pipe design. At the heart of the new system is an HBC (Hybrid Branch Controller) box, connected to an outdoor City Multi unit via traditional refrigerant piping. Between the HBC and the indoor fan coils, the system uses water piping but is still able to deliver mild air-off temperatures and a great stability of temperature all year round, supplying Chiller levels of comfort to occupants. With no refrigerant in occupied spaces, Hybrid VRF also enables simple compliance with BS EN378 and removes the need for leak detection in any occupied room. This technological benefit also means a low overall system refrigerant volume. Hybrid VRF offers the complete flexibility of design and installation that City Multi VRF has become renowned for, while still providing centralised control, individual operation, and simultaneous heating and cooling with heat recovery.

City of Bristol College asked Remeha to provide an improved and more efficient heating solution for its College Green Centre, which caters for more than 1,500 students. The new heating solution involved the installation of four Remeha P420 12 Section boilers, each powered by Baltur TBG 85pn fully modulating gas burners producing a total output capability of 2,900kw. Cambridgeshire-based EOGB Energy Products Ltd supplied the burners for the installation. By replacing the old two-stage burners with fully-modulating EOGB/Baltur burners, the college now benefits from efficiency gains of more than 30 per cent, leading to significant energy savings and CO2
and NOx reductions. At the same time, the units have superior reliability
and lower maintenance costs. Martin Cooke, technical manager at EOGB, said: “The burner-boiler match in this heating system is very effective and enables the burners to operate at a 4:1 turndown ratio which significantly improves efficiency when compared to the old installation. The Baltur PN range of air to gas ratio burners are well established and provide optimum combustion and performance which will heat the City of Bristol College in a more efficient manner for many years to come.”

temperature and ensures that the system is used exclusively for maintaining the temperature in the pipe network, not for heating the water. In this way, the system ensures that power consumption is reduced to a minimum without affect- ing user comfort or safety.

Electrical heat-tracing specialist, Pentair Thermal Building Solutions, has recently launched a video on its YouTube channel to demonstrate the benefits of its HWAT-T55 thermostat, which has been designed to operate with the Company’s Raychem Hot Water Maintenance System for small pipe networks or for branches up-to 50m. The Raychem HWAT-T55 thermostat effectively monitors pipe
Fusing efficient ventilation
Effective, compliant ventilation of multi-occupancy rooms is simplified with an innovative concept from Gilberts of Blackpool. The air movement specialist’s Mistrale Fusion (MFS)Terminal delivers optimum internal air control for less than £5.00/room/annum. The initial single-sided through-structure unit provides a one box, stand-alone solution, requiring no additional
ductwork or plant. The Mistrale MFS is, says Gilberts, the first in a new series that revolutionises energy-efficient ventilation in non-domestic buildings. Gilberts’ Sales Director Ian Rogers said: “In one unit, it ticks all the boxes in terms of natural ventilation criteria in multi-occupancy rooms such as classrooms.”
