Fusing headline performance with massive running cost savings
A new ventilation with heat recovery option can achieve performance up to 35% better than anything else on the market. It means potentially £1/4m/year savings on energy bills- even against other similar systems. MFS-HR is the concept of one of the UK’s leading independent air movement specialists, Gilberts Blackpool, who was instrumental in pioneering hybrid ventilation with its core MFS unit. The latest evolution achieves up to 75% heat recovery- against 40% as offered by alternative similar systems. That outstanding performance means that for a typical 12-classroom school/600 m2 commercial space, energy bills could be cut by almost £5,000 per week in cold winter months, by recovering heat that would otherwise be wasted, while ensuring a indoor air quality compliant, well-ventilated space. With its heat recovery capability, MFS-HR will provide up to 4 kw heating and 2 kw cooling capacity while still delivering airfl ow rates of up to 470 l/s. An optional additional LPHW coil can provide heating, potentially negating the capital expenditure, plant and running costs associated with a separate central heating system.

Supp_Gilberts_DPR.indd 1 Sto helps keep the noise down for new university swimming pool
A signifi cant milestone of a University’s Estate Masterplan has been completed with the use of an acoustic system solution provided by Sto. The company’s StoSilent Distance system and StoDecosit interior plaster now provide a practical and comfortable acoustic environment for the new 25 metre, eight lane pool at the University of Portsmouth’s £57m Ravelin Sports Centre. The StoSilent Distance system was installed as a suspended ceiling using Sto’s specially protected sub-construction, which is epoxy powder-coated to protect against corrosion. StoSilent Distance acoustic boards were then fi xed to the sub-construction, which can be adjusted to any shape of room to form a homogeneous, seamless surface. These high-performance acoustic boards are manufactured from blown glass granulate and are bonded to a backing laminate. This prevents any air from fl owing through them and causing marking or staining on the completed ceiling, but still allows them to attenuate sound waves. For this project the boards were fi nished with StoSilent Décor M – a sound- permeable silicate acoustic coating which creates a seamless, clean and attractive appearance.

Supp_Sto_DPR.indd 1 Innovative student breakout space from Style
Northeastern University London recently relocated to a brand new, 21st century campus within Devon House, St Katharine Docks, where students enjoy a vibrant, collegiate community that delivers academically rigorous degree programmes. Style was asked to create fl exible, collaborative space in the main foyer of building. Delivering an innovative partitioning solution that enhances the contemporary, open plan feel of the room, a series of panels with decorative cut-outs can be manoeuvred to any point along a track system to form a cordoned off area within which small groups can gather. With sound absorption properties, the panels reduce reverberation levels which is essential in a wide-open area such as this. When not required, the panels can be simply stacked to one side. “Rather like our already established Working Wall system, this is less to do with formal room division and more to do with creating a solution that offers an aesthetic divide within the space,” said Michael Porter, Style’s group sales director. “The end result is perfect for informal collaborations, breakouts from lectures and brainstorming sessions.”

Supp_Style_DEdit.indd 1 St Brendan’s 6th Form College, Bristol Photo: NVB Landscape Architects
NVB Landscape Architects wanted modern brightly coloured street furniture for the amphitheatre-like courtyard makeover of a busy sixth form college. Benchmark Design’s Centerline range, with its fl exibility to be made to follow any required curve and
ability to be powdered coated in any RAL colour was the perfect choice. The Architects were able to develop a creative design and build package, knowing that Benchmark could match their concept and requirements. The vivid steel CL007s produced for this project are robust and add a bright modern feel to the overall scheme.
