The Caspian Universal fan convector.
It’s an education.
Caspian Universal goes straight to the top of the class, or the ceiling, or the floor for that matter. The ideal solution for schools, colleges and other sites where flexibility, low surface temperature, good controls and great heat are compulsory on the curriculum.
suitability in-line with project targets. Different radiator sizes can be selected to see which best fits, and various fixing approaches – such as wall-mounted, free-stand- ing or trench heating – can be experimented with to determine the ideal solution in terms of design, ergonomics, heat output and energy consumption. On a business level, industry- standard BIM product content helps to promote a manufacturer and its products throughout the sector, with a view to showing their compatibility with modern, high-value construction projects. Considering the UK govern- ment’s ambition to have all centrally procured construction contracts achieve Level 2 BIM sta- tus by 2016, as well as BIM’s increasing use in the private sec- tor, it means manufacturers should start embracing the technology sooner rather than later. With the increasing internation- al focus on ‘future-proofing’ build- ings against draining the planet’s
natural resources, we can help guide architects and contractors to make the correct decisions in the building services products and systems they select by incentivis- ing them with what appeals to many the most – saving time, sav- ing money, hitting targets. The better we can demonstrate sustainable products as viable alternatives to energy-thirsty solu- tions, the more likely it becomes that we can have a lasting impact on buildings’ contribution to ener- gy targets in the future.
Failure to embrace BIM’s poten- tial will eventually become count- er-productive for manufacturers of building services products. At the end of the day, when the highest value projects are begun to be planned and schematics pro- duced, decision-makers will look beyond those who cannot provide them with the convenience and technical accuracy of detailed BIM-compatible product data. // The author is the managing director of Jaga Heating Products //
