Mitsubishi Electric upgrades fl agship ventilation system for offi ces, schools, hotels and more
We all spend an average of 90% of our time indoors, so ensuring the air inside buildings is fresh and clean is vital for our health. Dangerous pollutants like particulate matter and carbon monoxide are found indoors, and outdoor pollutants like nitrogen dioxide can also enter buildings from the outside. To combat their potential negative effects on health, equipping offi ces, schools, shops and more with the technology to support good air quality is essential. This is why Mitsubishi Electric has upgraded its trusted fl agship Lossnay ventilation range, with the new LGH-RVX3-E system designed specifi cally for the UK’s commercial buildings. The units are designed to extract stale indoor air continuously and effi ciently, and replace it with fresh fi ltered air from outside. With heat recovery, the system also minimises the amount of energy lost by recovering the heat from the extracted air and transferring it to the supply of fresh air. The new system features a host of improvements to enhance performance, effi ciency and versatility – all while reducing running costs. The units can now be installed vertically for the fi rst time, to allow for use in more spaces.

PR.indd 1 One unit, one responsibility
When sourcing ventilation products, it’s common to rely on several different suppliers for each component. Different manufacturers will often focus their expertise on particular elements, so by sourcing the best components from various suppliers, you’re bound to end up with the perfect product. Not according to Martin Daniels, National Sales Manager of Renson UK. “At Renson, we’ve spent time carefully developing each component of our louvre products, including the insulated blanking plates, spigots, plenums and insulating boxes for acoustic louvres, and have combined these products to produce a one-unit solution that benefi ts both developers and aluminium fabricators,” he said. “Manufacturing and supplying a one-unit solution not only means our customers can conveniently source their ventilation solutions from one place, but that should anything go wrong with the product, there’s only one party responsible. At Renson, we take full responsibility for every component and have adopted the principle of ‘one unit, one responsibility’.” For the past 50 years, Renson UK has specialised in the design, development and production of high-performance ventilation products, supplying fully tested, high-quality louvres for every application.

Services_DPR.indd 1 OMNIE UFH chosen for Cambridge College decarbonisation programme
A renewable heating specialist is employing OMNIE’s latest generation underfl oor heating systems and controllers for the radical energy upgrade of an extensive multiple occupancy building in Cambridge, as part of a long term decarbonisation programme for one of the historic colleges. Infi nite Heating and Energy is undertaking a range of work on behalf of the main contractor and is close to completing the installation of OMNIE’s TorFloor 2®
plus a small area of Ultimate 2, across most of the three fl oors of the 15-bedroom property. The new generation TorFloor 2®
evolves from the market-leading TorFloor® predecessor by adding a 6 mm thick chipboard upper
panel with pre-foiled aluminium heat diffuser. Crucially, both panels feature matching routed channels to perfectly align around the 12 mm water pipe, while the printed upper face clearly indicates the pipe’s position and the points where screws can be safely fi xed. Not only does this arrangement greatly reduce the risk of the pipe runs being accidentally damaged when fl oor coverings are installed or replaced, but the location of the routed channels places the warm water pipes closer to the surface: delivering faster warm-up times.

UFH_DPR.indd 1 OMNIE adds AL HEX heat diffuser technology to UFH systems
OMNIE will be incorporating the advanced AL HEX aluminium diffuser technology on all its foiled underfl oor heating systems, as standard, with immediate effect. The patented AL HEX foil, with its trademark hexagonal patten, increases the in-channel foiled surface area that is in contact with the warm water pipe. The result is greater heat output, faster heat transfer and a more even heat distribution across a fl oor area, plus it avoids the risk of damage due to heat ‘striping’. Striping is caused when heat in the warm water pipe doesn’t diffuse into the fl oor panel effectively and, instead, creates hot spots and hot lines on the fl oor surface fi nish. Prolonged exposure to striping can damage both the fl oor fi nish and the subfl oor, particularly if the installer raises the temperature of the water to try and improve the diffusion. “AL HEX is a real step forward for underfl oor heating particularly when the industry is moving away from gas boilers and towards renewable heat sources,” says Brendan Hourican, OMNIE’s Managing Director. “Because it is so effi cient at transferring heat, AL HEX works very well with lower water temperatures. This means it improves the performance of the underfl oor heating.”
