Minus 7 – the true hybrid energy harvester – exhibits at EcoBuild 2014 The Minus 7 Hybrid Energy Harvesting System is an innovative renewable-energy system that provides hot water and heating for homes using endothermic roof-tile planks, a solar-energy processor, a water-to-water heat pump, heat-transfer units and a thermal store. The system is classified as a solar-assisted heat-pump technology and the NCM (SAP) identifier for the product is Minus 7 SEP3G10 1/2/3.
The system is capable of servicing up to three dwellings at once, keeping them at a comfortable temperature of at least 21°C, even in the worst mid-winter. It is highly suitable for housing associations. ‘This will be the third year for Minus 7 exhibiting at the EcoBuild show. Response has always been very positive,’ said managing director Mark Wozencroft. ‘In recent years, many visitors commented that it was the best roofing product that they had seen at the show and noted the very high standard of engineering, choice of components and finish.’ Call 0192 241 9405 or email

Overcoming access issues for power-generator installations The installation of a generator for a flagship retail store in Oxford Circus was an important – but straightforward – power solution for Shenton Group. The generator provides standby power to the essential services in the building, and acts as a ‘peak lopper’ to enable the store to deal with the high electrical demands of peak periods. The new system was required to deal with the increase in business and longer hours associated with the 2012 Olympics. The real challenge of the project wasn’t in the power solution, but in the installation of the system. The location for the generator was on the sixth floor (accessed by a lift) and the fuel tanks were located in the sub-basement, requiring more than 60 metres of fuel pipe. The solution was a complete engine stripdown. The engine and alternator were taken apart so that all of the elements of the 8-tonne generator could fit into a lift 850 mm x 950 mm, with a load capacity of 600 kgs. This meant around 15 trips just to get the generator to the sixth floor. Call 0844 888 4445 or visit www.
