Efficiency SmartTalk® Pro – your online HIU engineer E
vinox take another step forward in ‘Smart’ heat interface unit technology development, with a new monitoring and
diagnostics web portal – ‘SmartTalk® Pro’. This provides contractors with remote access to each HIU on site using any web enabled device, and ensures any reported problems can be quickly and easily diagnosed – and often remedied – online, without the need for an engineer to attend site; saving time, increasing the first-time-fix rate and reducing defects liability costs related to the heat network. As well as providing access to operational
parameters and settings for HIU’s, support engineers can even take control of the residents heating system, to update controller settings and resolve reported issues without an engineer ever having to get in a van! SmartTalk® Pro comes bundled with every
Evinox ModuSat HIU installation connected to a bus, ethernet or fibre optic communication network, and enables contractors and building operators to reduce the costs and risks associated with heat network installations. An Established Heat Interface Unit Range Evinox’s ModuSat heat interface units, are
designed with quality, high efficiency and reliability at the forefront, and are fully tested – hydraulically, electrically and electronically before leaving the factory. The ModuSat XR-ECO Twin Plate Unit is also independently tested to the UK
Standard for HIUs from BESA, backing-up performance and efficiency claims; units come complete with smart room controls with optional energy display upgrade; feature inbuilt prepay technology and they can be commissioned and maintained remotely over the internet – a combination resulting in a truly Smart HIU range. Don’t just take Evinox’s word for it – units
are currently in operation in hundreds of developments across the UK, including landmark

New research from building consultants, Peutz B.V., has revealed that by using higher performing insulation within rainscreen and cavity walls, it is possible to reduce construction thicknesses and achieve noticeable improvements in internal natural light levels. Its findings are explored in full in the updated Daylighting White Paper from Kingspan Insulation, available for download. The findings showed that in all scenarios, the constructions using Kingspan Kooltherm insulation achieved improved average daylight factors. In addition, all results with the Kingspan Kooltherm products exceeded the minimum daylighting criteria from BS 8206-2: 2008 for bedrooms and living rooms.

Kingspan TEK villas are ready for the sun
The Kingspan TEK Building System has been used to construct five luxury villas at the Porth Veor Manor Hotel near Newquay – providing the perfect seaside spot for holiday makers. The Kingspan TEK Building System of structural insulated panels (SIPs) was specified for the project for a variety of reasons, as Mike Burke from contractors Sip Hus, explained: “The design of the units, their location, size and performance requirements meant that the Kingspan TEK Building System was the best choice for the structural shells. The excellent thermal performance of the panels allowed us to maximise the internal spaces within the given footprint without having to compromise on thermal efficiency.”

Kingspan Kooltherm has been installed as part of the conversion and expansion of a former office building, adding luxury accommodation to Birmingham’s historic Jewellery Quarter. To insulate the ceiling of the basement and an undercroft below the ground floor over 650m2
of Kingspan
Kooltherm K110 PLUS Soffit Board was specified. To insulate its external walls, 57.5 mm Kingspan Kooltherm K118 Insulated Plasterboard was installed. The product combines vapour control, 12.5 mm plasterboard and a premium performance insulation core in a single product. This allowed installers to rapidly fit the insulation and begin decorating the apartments.
