lobal energy and building controls specialist Resource Data Management has established a new affiliate company in Auckland, New Zealand, as part of international expansion plans.
RDM New Zealand will help to expand the reach of Resource Data Management hardware, software and remote monitoring solutions further throughout New Zealand, across the HVAC&R and BEMS markets. RDM New Zealand is the latest international venture from Resource Data Management following launches in Asia (Malaysia), The USA, The Nordics (Sweden), and Australia.
Support for RDM hardware and software services has been consistently strong for several years in New Zealand via the main two partners EcoChill and Fonko, who have always strived to bring an innovative approach in the market. RDM’s group sales director Enrico Mirandola said: “As market demand for our award winning control and remote monitoring software solutions, Intuitive & Mercury controller range, DMTouch, and ActiveFM, increases, it’s important we work with carefully selected partners that understand the local market requirements and provide technical and commercial support to customers. With a proven track record in the refrigeration, HVAC, BMS and Energy Management, James Darby and his team are perfectly positioned to provide the required level of support to expand the reach of our solutions across the markets we operate.” He added: “RDM New Zealand represents another step towards our global growth strategy and we look forward to working with them.” As part of the affiliate company’s structuring, James Darby will head up an experienced new team in RDM New Zealand as the main director.

p-and-coming building services designers from CIBSE’s Young Engineers Network (YEN) recently attended a CPD presentation by senior Toshiba technical staff on the topic of Mechanical and Natural Cooling Systems. The event took place at Cundall’s highly sustainable state-of-the-art offices next to St Paul’s Cathedral. It was attended by members of the London section of CIBSE’s YEN, as part of its ongoing series of training and professional development events.
The presentation, by Toshiba’s Val Belz and Jason Batt, included an overview of natural cooling and ventilation systems, air- and water- based technology, direct expansion systems, the refrigeration cycle, types of compressors, and an insight into the efficiency and performance benefits of twin rotary compressors.
David Mather, senior mechanical engineer with Peter Brett Associates LLP, Reading, and Vice Chairman of the National CIBSE YEN Committee, said: “CIBSE YEN’s regional volunteer committees regularly organise CPD evening events for members. The support of these events from manufacturers, educational institutions and employers is greatly appreciated.
“The CPD on Mechanical and Natural Cooling Systems, sponsored and presented by Toshiba and supported by Cundall, gave a valuable and informative overview of different systems, and set the scene for a look at various compressor
technologies.”
He added: “The Q&A session provoked debate amongst the cross-practice audience. In particular, this led to an interesting discussion on the future of refrigerant selection for systems, with the perspectives of policy makers, manufacturers and specifiers all considered.”
Cundall’s new London office at One Carter Lane is the first building in Europe to achieve WELL Certification through the WELL Building Standard™. The aim was to create a practical expression of the company’s long-standing focus on sustainability and wellbeing.
The building earned the distinction based on seven categories of building performance - air, water, light, nourishment, fitness, comfort and mind. High density areas have variable volume air distribution controlled by CO2 sensors to ensure that air quality is maintained.
The Toshiba presentation is part of a programme of CIBSE-approved CPD modules the company offers to consultants, engineers and end users. Presentations cover the fundamentals of air conditioning, legislation update, project design for air-cooled VRF systems, heat pump technology, controls, and the application of SEER and COP to VRF systems.
Toshiba has been a CIBSE-approved CPD provider for over seven years, and continues to support the CIBSE CPD training program and new initiatives such as the CIBSE YEN.
