SPONSORS WHAT’S NEW Belfast film industry is at the cutting edge N


orthern Ireland has today established itself as a major location for the film industry, with such colossus as HBO’s


Games of Thrones being filmed there. To keep up with the increasing demand, a major investment was recently made in a stateoftheart 120,000 sq ft studio space that has been built on a former landfill site in Belfast. Taking up a total of 8acres the North


Foreshore Studios today provides a flexible range of both indoor and outdoor facilities, which will make this a very attractive proposition that is bound to build on Northern


Ireland’s film industry’s success and gain it even more of a global focus. Working behind the scenes to maintain the


ambient temperature are well known players from the Grundfos pump family that includes members of the energy efficient MAGNA3 circulator range as well as a booster set that is a great performer and will ensure there is sufficient water where it is needed, when it is needed. We are sure that many new and existing


stars will be associated with these studios in years to come and Grundfos pumps will be there playing their own supporting role. To find out more about how the cast from

Malvern Hills & Black Mountains, Broadway is one of the finest members’ golf clubs in the Cotswolds. Following a dilapidation survey by


E


Evesham Mechanical Services Ltd it was concluded that the existing ASHPs were to be replaced with condensing boilers and associated equipment. Mikrofill supplied two Ethos 70kW stainless steel wall mounted boilers c/w integral shunt pumps. The boilers, with a collective turndown ratio of 20 > 1 serve an existing zoned radiator system aswell as a primary supply to HWS cylinders. The installation was unvented by way of a new pressurisation package that included a Mikrofill 3 filling device/fluid risk category


4 backflow preventer, a 200 litre expansion vessel and a service drain valve. The system design and installation was


carried out by long standing local contractor Evesham Mechanical Services Ltd. For more information on these and other

irflow Developments recently surprised one loyal customer –


announcing him as the winner of the company’s QuietAir Rewards promotion. Kevin Roberts from Nottingham was presented with the final grand prize, a new Ford Transit Custom van worth over £18,000, at his local Ford dealer in Derby. Kevin Roberts, of M.A.


Broughton Electrical Contractors


based in Langley Mill, was drawn from the many qualifying installers who had earned enough points during 2017 to qualify for the QuietAir Rewards prize draw. “I couldn’t believe it. You enter these things thinking, there’s no way you’re going to win and then I did,” said Kevin. “It’s brilliant, I’m actually sharing the van with two of the electricians at my company who need a bigger van – it’ll make our job a lot easier


and help the business be more effective. “Airflow is great, the company has loads of fans so finding one to suit any installation is easy. That’s why I always install them, especially in new build housing when you need something that is easy to install, reliable and aesthetically pleasing.” For further information on Airflow Developments’ QuietAir range visit:

2015. From April, these standards will stipulate that nondomestic landlords, including publicsector landlords, will not be able to continue letting any property, that has an EPC (Energy Performance Certificate) in the worst performing rating bands of F or G. This puts those elements that are part of a building’s fixed services involving the heating, mechanical ventilation or air conditioning i.e. those services such as pumps that are attached to the fabric of the building, very much in the spotlight in terms of their contribution to the overall energy rating. Grundfos are typically able to


T


achieve savings of 3050% for customers via an Energy Check, as they point the way towards the optimal pump replacement that provide great energy savings. In addition, they achieve reliable operation, reduce both downtime and repair costs as well as being a major contributor to improving a buildings EPC rating.

Level Converter supports MBus communications via RS232 and RS485 in applications where there is a requirement for data transfer over longer distances. Matt Gardner of


Synapsys Solutions said: “The increase in the costs of running a commercial building has led to a demand for


more information and a need to utilise the information which is provided by a building. “The SIPslice MBus Level


Converter meets this need by allowing different metering and control solutions to communicate through a simple interface to make an effective contribution to a reduction in energy usage.”

No let up for poor pump performance


he MEES (Minimum Energy Efficiency Standard) was originally introduced in


The changes to MEES will put


existing nondomestic buildings back onto the energy agenda, but with the savings that can be achieved through upgrading their pump portfolio for example, there are excellent reasons for any building that is over 5/10 years to review their pump performance as the resultant savings can be significant.
