heating, ventilation & services; interiors Gaia heats Hektor’s house... or rather his barn
When somebody books a beautiful historic timber framed barn as a wedding venue, they want to see the mellow oak beams in their natural glory; they do not want to see unsightly steel radiators bolted to them. That is why landowner and developer, Hektor Rous,
chose Gaia’swet underfloor heating system in the renovation of the Grade II listed barn at the family seat, Henham Park, in Suffolk. Gaia specified and installed the system which covers an area of 690m2
. At present, the system is connected to an
LPG-fired gas boiler, but Hektor plans to replace this with a ground-source heat pump, thereby reducing running costs and improving the environmental profile of the system. “The floor is working well and we have used it successfully with only a day lead-in to heat the whole space” says Hektor.
enq.225 British engineering helps energy efficiency
The long-awaited £49m Arts & Innovation Centre in Bangor, is bridging the gap between engineering and art in part through state-of-the-art British engineering technol- ogy. Pontio, (Welsh for bridge), aims to link art, science,
the University and the local community, through its provision of theatre, cinema, design & innovation centre in one building located between the main University buildings and the city. And it has used state-of-the-art techniques to achieve high environmental standards –it used 30 per cent less carbon than buildings of similar size in its construction, and will continue to be eco-friendly in operation, producing its own electricity and using natural ventilation solutions from one of the UK’s leading independent air movement specialist Gilberts Blackpool.

www.gilbertsblackpool.com The Saniflo Sanicondens
The Saniflo Sanicondens is a small pump that may be used to pump condensate from condensing boilers, HVAC system, water heater systems, etc. The Sanicondens will pump condensate water up to 4.5 metres in height and/or 50 metres horizontally (with gravity fall). Inside is a float mechanism, which starts and stops the unit, and the motor, which drives the pump. A normal operating cycle can be as short as 2-10 seconds, depending upon the discharge pipe run configuration; power consumption is therefore
minimal. Once the water is discharged and the water level in the container goes down, the float deactivates the unit until water enters the unit again.
