BSEE WHAT’S NEW A


n innovative approach to guest requirements is helping a new venue blend


excellence in modern hotel provision with a historic setting. The four‐star Mannin Hotel in Douglas, Isle of Man was originally built during Victorian times and has undergone a three‐year, £6m re‐build. Unlike other hotels on the island, the Mannin features air conditioning in all bedrooms and major public areas using British‐ designed and engineered grilles from Gilberts (Blackpool) Ltd.


On the advice of project


facilities management/building services consultants Stewart Clague Services (SCS), the new hotel relies on Gilberts’ Series L extruded aluminium linear bar grilles and Series GSL diffusers, with Series DGA louvred face ceiling diffusers and Series GECA‐ RC egg‐crate extract grilles for effective air movement. Installed at high level,


counterbalancing the underfloor heating, the Gilberts’ units ensure effective yet draught‐free throw of

air into, and extraction from, the rooms. The combination quietly maintains a comfortable, fresh environment from floor to ceiling, without hot or cold spots. Explained Manning Hotel


Manager Rom Kesa: “Whilst air conditioning isn’t a necessity because of the local climate here, it is a guest expectation, and helps differentiate us, and set us above other similar levels of hotel on the island.” For more information call 01253 766911 or email:

Wieland makes a powerful connection at One Puddle Dock


ieland Electric has supplied its popular Metalynx2 structured wiring system as part of the £20


million refurbishment contract of One Puddle Dock, a six‐storey commercial premises in the City of London. The refurbishment includes the removal of


existing services, partitions and floor coverings of the 100,000 sq ft floor space and refurbing to Cat A standard for the sub‐let space. Other office areas will be fitted out to Cat B standard which includes new M&E installations, installation of eight lifts, raised access flooring and new toilet cores on each level. Fit out specialists Willmott Dixon Interiors


refurbished the facility with M& E specialists Gratte Brothers installing Wieland’s Metalynx2 wiring system for the distribution of all power and lighting supply throughout the building. A variety of Wieland’s extenders, tees and fused spurs were also incorporated into the power supply system.


Pentair Thermal Building Solutions’ Raychem seminar awarded CIBSE accreditation and CPD status


‘Engineering Sustainable DHWS in modern building design’, has been awarded CIBSE accreditation and has been added to its list of CPD qualifying seminars. The seminar offers


T


comprehensive information about the history of DHWS, its technology and what is driving it. It also discusses how the code has evolved, what is required by modern designs and gives case study examples to exemplify the energy and efficiency benefits that can be achieved with single pipe solutions in conjunction with heat pump technology. The new CPD seminar also includes important information on the new hot water standard, BS8558 which was completed and introduced in September 2015. Jonathan Jones, Global Product


Category Manager, said the seminar also explains how


continued innovation is needed to “future proof” hot water systems and that early adopters are reaping the benefits of single pipe DHWS.


It demonstrates how the


technology is established, understood, and proven by case studies – which validate energy efficiency as part of a complete DHW system.


The CPD seminars are free of


charge and are available from Pentair Thermal Building Solutions. Contact SalesUK@pentairthermal.com or call free on 0800 969 013.

The Metalynx2 system allows for total


flexibility and comprises modular sub circuit distribution which is pre‐fabricated off‐site. The system arrives colour‐coded and polarised so that one system shall not plug into the components of any other system allowing for easy installation. The fasttrack nature of this project meant


that Gratte required a well‐trusted, reliable power supply scheme and Wieland’s Metalynx2 fitted the specification perfectly.

ventrop UK Ltd has assisted Totus Engineering Ltd to design efficient and effective temperature control


has grown significantly due to requirements for low carbon energy solutions. Compliance can be difficult in multi‐storey dwellings with individual appliances, and designers have moved towards centralised heating strategies to be able to integrate low and zero carbon technologies. Heat Interface Units or HIUs will address specific considerations around such strategies, for example, end user time and temperature control and metering/billing of individual energy use. The AET range comprises single


plate and twin plate, wall or floor mounted units with associated controls. Of particular interest is


the SND Ultrasonic Heat Meter for heating and cooling measurement in residential applications. The unit adopts the latest technology to guarantee the highest quality of measurement and longterm stability. The unit has no moving parts and is virtually maintenance‐ free and along with the other HIUs, it can be configured according to specific requirements. The new product range will be


distributed by AET’s Energy division. For more information email

Introducing the Viega SC‐Contur


AET introduces energy saving heat meters


ET, a leading provider of Under Floor Air Conditioning systems, has announced an


P


ress connectors are both quicker and safer; processing requires less time and the SC‐Contur (pictured) from Viega shows up any forgotten pressings at the first filling of the unit or during a leakage


test, for example, with water. A clear advantage in terms of safety. Due to tight production tolerances, the pipe and connector appear to


be “sealed” even before they have been pressed. Connections can be loosened by pressure surges whilst the unit is in operation; uncontrolled water can quickly cause a considerable amount of damage. Even at very low flowing pressure, water will leak out of the SC‐Contur of a connector which has not been pressed properly. This prevents expensive subsequent damage.


Simpler repairs


The practical processing advantages of press connection technology are equally important, both in new installations as well as in any repair work being carried out on existing systems. Depending on the nominal width, a press connection is completed up to 40% faster than a soldered connection. Another reason is that in addition to the faster pressing process, press connection technology does not have all the time‐ consuming peripheral jobs such as deburring and calibrating. When repairing drinking water systems, systems do not need to be


fully drained beforehand. Whereas residue dampness makes soldering or welding impossible, pressing is possible even when there is still residual water in the system.


For copper, steel and stable composite pipes


Viega offers the quick and safe press connection technology for all piping systems in all common areas of use. Metallic piping systems like Profipress (copper), Sanpress (stainless steel) or Prestabo (galvanised steel pipe) are all included as is Pexfit Pro as a dimensionally stable composite pipe.


Depending on the material and area of use (e.g. drinking water,


heating, gas, compressed air, fire extinguisher pipes), Viega offers suitable press connectors with the corresponding sealing elements. To prevent confusion of these press connectors, they have all been marked with coloured dots. For example, green points are exclusively for drinking water, yellow for gas installations and red for heating installations.
