24 APPOINTMENTS & NEWS Impressive Results for Evinox ModuSat® E
vinox are very proud to announce that the ModuSat® XR Heat Interface Unit has been tested to the BESA (British Engineering
Services Association) UK Standard for HIUs, achieving impressive results all round. Launched in late 2016, the BESA UK
Standard for Heat Interface Units was introduced to help designers and specifiers evaluate the performance of a particular HIU on their network. This new standard aims to provide HIU benchmarking, similar in many ways to the well-known SEDBUK scheme for domestic boilers. Currently, only a handful of manufacturers
have published results for the HIU test regime, with Evinox being one of the first to undertake the testing process. With an overall VWART of just 33.4,
impressively low domestic hot water return temperatures and the ability to deliver flexible Keep Warm operation, the BESA test results provide a clear, independently verified confirmation that the Evinox ModuSat® XR range delivers outstanding heating and hot water performance for modern heat networks. Mike Shaw, Commercial Director at Evinox
Energy commented “We believe independent testing is a vital step forward for the Communal
& District heating industry, and as one of the UKs most established HIU manufacturers, we were determined to be involved from the early stages. Our latest ModuSat® XR and XR-ECO models have been developed very much with the new standard in mind and we’re confident that this regime from BESA will lead to more efficient heat networks being designed and delivered”.
Vent-Axia’s Triple Award shortlisting
Recognising the vital importance of breathing clean air in our homes, the H&V News Awards has shortlisted Vent-Axia, within two categories in its 2018 awards. As well as being named as a double finalist in the Domestic Ventilation Product of the Year category with its Pure Air Filtration System and its PoziDry ProTM
Positive Input Ventilation (PIV) unit, the company’s PoziDry ProTM unit has also reached the final in
the Air Movement of the Year category. Both the Vent-Axia Pure Air and the PoziDry ProTM
address current concerns about indoor air quality and have
been designed specifically to improve the air in the home while setting the benchmark for filtration by filtering out damaging particles down to PM2.5.

The BESA standard is currently optional for HIU manufacturers, however, Evinox believes this will be a mandatory requirement in the near future, and asks designers and specifiers to start insisting on the use of BESA tested units for their heat network projects going forward.

www.britishceramictile.com VELUX® launches MyDaylight
MyDaylight is a powerful new app by VELUX that enables homeowners to design their own room or renovation project by easily selecting parameters such as floor dimensions, roof height and ceiling pitch. They can then customise further by adding windows, floor and wall finishes, the room’s location, and more. After approximately ten minutes, they receive a digital simulation which can be viewed in 360˚ or virtual reality, and gives a life-like recreation of the room and the changing effects of daylight inside. The app bridges a gap, leading homeowners from imagination to implementation: “Many people who are looking to reshape their home find it difficult moving from imagination to concrete proposals. The app brings homeowners one step closer to the home they have envisioned, as the 3600 and virtual reality visualisations make it both tangible and achievable,” says Grant Sneddon, Daylight Expert, VELUX. The app is a unique opportunity for homeowners to experiment with different renovation options, and a mobile application means the service is available anywhere, anytime – thereby meeting the growing consumer trend for online customisation, browsing and shopping. The MyDaylight app is free of charge for everyone and available in the Apple and Google Play Stores.
